Apex Volleyball training philosophy:
Constant feedback with moving with pace through skillset specific drills.
Utilizing chaos of gameplay situations to help today’s athletes process and perform in real competitions and remain calm and comfortable.
Each athlete has their own independent needs for feedback. Apex strives to read those needs early and apply that athletes comfortable coaching style as soon as possible to help the athlete learn quicker and improve.
Your staff:
Eric Headley
Owner
Eric loves volleyball! The constant evolution of the game, the athleticism of todays athletes and the strategies involved. He was immediately smitten watching a group play while lifeguarding in 1990.
Eric will tell you he was lucky enough to be accepted by the local professional players back then and enjoyed being taught by the best. Partnering up to travel and play with some amazing athletes. Playing professionally both indoor and outdoor all over the continental US as well as outside.
In 2004 he joined forces with the now defunct Delaware Valley VBC and quickly revamped the organization to become Infinity Volleyball Academy out of Chalfont Pa.
In 2013 Eric took his experience to Florida where he once again enjoyed learning more about the sport he loves so much. Helping at Universities, Professional teams and Open level Juniors he returned to Pa in 2018.
Apex is built on the old DElVal days where we have a net, good feedback and play. Hig paced drill sets to allow todays modern athletes to think, adjust and excel while in game like paced surroundings. Not too complicated and a great coach once told Eric that "Playing volleyball teaches volleyball".
Keeping it simple we meet for our sessions in Skippack on Church road near the beautiful Skippack village.
Eric believes that grassroot volleyball training is the key to bringing the Keystone state back to it's once proud form.
