At Alabama Cat5 Volleyball Academy, we are committed to developing athletes who are technically skilled, physically strong, and mentally resilient. Our mission is to provide high-quality volleyball training that prioritizes fundamentals, physical preparation, and character development, ensuring every athlete has the tools to excel both on and off the court.
We believe that effort, discipline, and consistency are the true markers of success. Our philosophy emphasizes hard work over talent, recognizing that with proper coaching, strength and agility training, and a focus on injury prevention, any athlete can reach their full potential.
Our vision is to create an elite training environment where athletes of all skill levels—from beginners to college-bound players—receive the highest level of coaching, mentorship, and physical conditioning to compete at their best in school, club, and collegiate volleyball. Through a commitment to excellence, integrity, and perseverance, we aim to inspire the next generation to push their limits, achieve their goals, and build lifelong skills that extend far beyond the game

Master the Fundamentals First
We build technical skill in passing, setting, hitting, and blocking-so athletes don’t just show up to tryouts, they stand out.
Train Game-Specific Movements
We focus on volleyball footwork, approach mechanics, transitions, and defense so players move with purpose and confidence.
Develop Physical Readiness
Our training includes speed, agility, vertical jump, and strength-built specifically for volleyball performance.
Avoid the Scrimmage Trap
Unlike programs that just let kids play, we teach technique, mechanics, and intentional movement that leads to real improvement.
Build Confidence Before the Pressure Hits
Our athletes walk into tryouts already prepared and mentally locked in-ready to earn their spot.
Get Individual Coaching & Feedback
We correct, adjust, and develop each athlete based on their strengths and areas for growth, no one gets lost in the crowd.
Train with Proven Experience
Led by a former national team and international pro player, our training isn’t guesswork—it’s built for results.
“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”
