At X-Performance, we’re addressing the growing concerns about travel sports raised by families and experts alike. The high costs, intense schedules, and the "pay-to-play" model have made volleyball inaccessible for many, forcing players to commit to grueling travel routines that often prioritize competition over development. We believe there’s a better way and are excited to launch X-Performance as the antidote.
A Focus on Local Excellence
Our mission is to create a high-quality, locally accessible volleyball program that allows athletes to thrive without the financial burden of travel. X-Performance focuses on skill development, mental toughness, and preparing athletes for collegiate-level play—without the need to leave the local area for tournaments or training. We want families to invest wisely in their children’s future, not by spending thousands on travel but by focusing on the most effective ways to build an athlete’s abilities.
Our mission is aligned with the evolving perspective of competitive youth sports, as evidenced by recent articles in leading news outlets and cutting-edge athlete-focused research. We aspire to be at the forefront of this change, empowering athletes to flourish in volleyball and their confidence and self-awareness. This growth is nurtured through accessible local training sessions that provide the same high-level development as traditional club programs while maintaining a balanced approach to sports, academics, and family time. By embracing a local focus and minimizing the stressors associated with travel sports, we ensure that athletes can fully concentrate on refining their abilities and attaining success both on and off the court.
Maximizing Local Resources for Athlete Growth
At X-Performance, we are committed to fully utilizing our facility and the local wealth of resources, including those offered by Loudoun County, Virginia, and neighboring states. We aim to ensure athletes can access top-tier training and events right here. Additionally, we are dedicated to creating pathways for athletes ready to participate in camps, combines, and workshops farther away, such as college camps. We will also bring college coaches and recruiters to local events, maximizing exposure and opportunities for all our players.
Skill Badges: Progress You Can See
We're introducing a skill badge system to ensure each athlete is placed in the right environment for growth. These badges reflect a player’s development and help match them with appropriate training sessions, clinics, and events. Only athletes with the proper badge level can register for certain activities, ensuring that players and families know exactly where they stand and what’s best for them regarding commitment and financial investment. Our staff actively identifies talent in other programs, and parents are encouraged to reach out if they feel their child is ready for more. Together, we’ll create a customized plan for their development.
Inclusivity Without Compromise
X-Performance is designed to be financially inclusive. Through scholarships, sponsorships, and volunteer opportunities, we ensure that cost is never a barrier for dedicated athletes. However, this is volleyball as a serious sport, not just an after-school activity. We’re transparent with families: athletes must show potential and readiness to commit. This ensures that the program focuses on those passionate about improving their skills and pursuing volleyball long-term.
Optional Membership with Added Value
For families seeking even more value, we offer an optional membership at $49 per year, giving discounts on all X-Performance programs. This membership quickly pays for itself over time through savings on clinics, camps, and other activities. But the choice is yours—whether you become a member or not, every athlete receives the same high-quality training experience.
A Seamless Registration Experience
To support the launch of X-Performance, we’re introducing a new, easy-to-use registration system through Amilia. This platform simplifies the process, allowing families to sign up for programs and manage their memberships quickly. With the launch of our updated website, navigating all these new offerings has never been easier.
The Future of Volleyball Starts Now
We’re excited to help athletes grow locally with the right training, confidence-building, and clear progression paths through X-Performance. Our commitment to excellence, accessibility, and genuine player development sets this program apart. We invite you to join us in this new journey, where volleyball meets opportunity and potential is unlocked in every player.
We can’t wait to see you on the court!
Best regards,
The X-Performance Team
