APPLY TO SPONSOR

Located in Sioux Falls, the Kairos Elite Volleyball Club coaching staff is dedicated to providing local players with an opportunity to develop while gaining exposure to some of the best competition and college scouts in the country!  The goal of the program is to train players in a competitive environment where they work to: improve their individual skills through position specific training, increase court sense and knowledge of offensive and defensive concepts, mature personal confidence through achievement, and practice at a level that will train them for college athletics. Kairos is a partner of Avera Sports Institute.

In order to keep every safe, we must adhere to the following COVID-19 related rules of the Avera Human Performance Center.  These policies are in place to limit the number of people in the building to be able to provide opportunities for social distancing.  These policies are subject to change.

Anyone that enters the Avera HPC building must have their temperature taken and answer a series of COVID-19 related questions.

Only one spectator can accompany each player to practices and games.  We are working with Avera to possibly be able to livestream Saturday games for more family members to enjoy.

All spectators must be masked.  Players/Coaches must be masked when entering and exiting the building.  Players do not need to be masked while playing volleyball.

To limit exposure (leaving and coming back), games will be played back to back.  For example, (tentatively) plan your schedule around game blocks of 8-10am and 10:30am-12:30pm.

On game days, only one game ball will be used per court.  Teams can play a coach tossed “mini game” the first 5-10 minutes to allow the kids to warm up.
