In addition, PJV and Tribe pride itself on its continual professional education of its coaches and staff to ensure the teaching of the most current principles-based information available.

PHILOSOPHY
Peninsula Tribe is committed to enriching the lives of participating girls through a comprehensive volleyball program that promotes the development of qualities in the athlete that will serve her as she develops into an adult and for the rest of her life.
Coaches at Tribe are committed to providing the highest level volleyball instruction to progress the skills of each girl throughout the season and as the player continues to play volleyball. However, more importantly, Peninsula Tribe is committed to…
• Empowering in each athlete a sense of responsibility by demanding consistently high standards of behavior and making the athlete aware and respectful of others;
• Instilling commitment in the athlete through his dedication to the goals of the club, his team and to his teammates;
• Encouraging and systematically training athletes to be self-confident volleyball players and young men;
• Nurturing unselfishness in the athlete by requiring that his actions on and off the court be consistent with the goals of the club and her team as a whole, and not to be directed towards individual successes and honors;
• Generating in the athlete a willingness to sacrifice his time and energy towards the fulfillment of shared goals;
• Furthering a sense of personal discipline in the athlete by demanding abstention from activities that limit his athletic, academic, and personal potential;
• Instilling a life-long love of and passion for the game of volleyball and the physical fitness and emotional well-being that comes as a result.
Our philosophy at Peninsula Tribe is to guide each boy to not only become a great volleyball player, but also a great person as he enters adulthood. At Tribe, the interests of the boys are always at the forefront of every decision.
