Yessie Gonzalez2024-10-11 I am incredibly grateful to Coach Jo for the pivotal role she played in my daughter’s volleyball journey. From the very beginning, her personalized training, constructive feedback, and unwavering support not only improved my daughter’s skills but also boosted her confidence. Coach Jo took the time to understand my daughter’s aspirations and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way. Thanks to Coach Jo, my daughter received a scholarship and found the perfect college fit for both academics and athletics. I can't recommend Coach Jo highly enough to any parent looking for a dedicated mentor for their young athlete! Ernesto Garcia Perez2024-10-10 This is it! This is the place! Our daughter has been playing volleyball for 3 years. It was not too hard to realize that training at the club was fun, but development was very slow. It just wasn’t enough. It's understandable as clubs have so many players to work with at the same time. Understanding that made us look for some other options to elevate our daughter's game. That was key. How did we get here is also an important part of the story. We saw a teammate going from barely serving to finish at the AAUs jump serving and maybe losing 2 serves in the whole tournament. When we ask the parents how did their daughter achieved such a progress in a short period of time? They say APG. We wasted no time and came down here. It's been a year now. This is home for us and mainly for our daughter. Coach Jo is the heart and soul of the academy. The coaches are the muscles! The level of repetitions and attention to details is awesome. That's the secret sauce! Their focus on improving the physical and mental conditions is second to none. Shout-out to coaches Cami and Raquel with us from the very beginning. Great coaches, even better persons. There is no other place in South Florida like this. As parents we struggle with the idea of paying a club and paying APG. It’s tough. I always put it this way; the clubs are the dealers that take the car (your child) to the showrooms (tournaments) APG is the mechanic. If you want your little engines to roar at the shows you gotta bring it here. This is the place! Mariana Rodriguez2024-09-23 Jo and her team are beyond anything I have seen in volleyball training. The growth I have seen in my athlete in such a short period of time is amazing. The club and school coaches noticed it immediately. Jo shows her athletes to excel not just in training but teaches them how to control their attitude, mind and body. Jo and her team provide a tough and strenuous training always praising and elevating the trainees. Would recommend Alpha to anyone who wants to learn or better their volleyball game. Hands down the Alpha team is the cream of the crop!!! Katy Fernandez2024-09-23 Coaches are dedicated and truly committed to helping each player improve in all aspects of volleyball. My daughter has been a part of this program for about 7 months and I’ve seen such a significant improvement! We love Jo and her team. Alvaro Frias2024-09-17 Since my daughter joined Alpha her improvement has been 120%, she loves the training Given by Jo and her team. Mari Blanes2024-09-17 APG has significantly improved my daughter’s game. The progress she has made is remarkable, thanks to the coaches’ dedication and individualized training. Jo and her team are exceptional role models, inspiring her with their work ethic, positivity, and commitment. They consistently set new goals for her, always looking for ways to improve and strive for more. I highly recommend APG to anyone looking to elevate their game! Tania Rivera2024-09-17 Coach Jo is simply amazing, leading a dedicated and professional team. They focus on every detail to help develop the kids and constantly motivating them. Guillermo Garcia R2024-09-17 Our daughter has been training with Alpha for a couple of years now; the personalized coaching and attention from Jo and the rest of the coaches have been transformational for her. We’re incredibly grateful for everything APG has done to help her develop not only impressive volleyball skills but also confidence in herself and her game. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to develop serious volleyball skills! Diego Hernandez2024-09-17 Great training and great coaches. Trust the process Julie Espino2024-09-17 Coach Jo shows incredible dedication to the growth, both physically and mentally, of our daughter.
