Welcome to Our Rally Campaign

Hello! My Name is Jason LaBorde and I am the Club Director for MAX Performance Volleyball. MPV is a 501(C)3 Not for Profit Organization located in Ocala, FL.  Our philosophy at MAX is simple.  We want to provide competitive volleyball to all athletes that are willing to work hard.  Our focus is always on the kids, setting them up for real-world challenges so that they understand the importance of making mistakes and learning from them.  We are able to do this through the implementation of PCA's Double-goal coaching. Providing quality training is our priority and our promise! Recently our 14's MAX team qualified to compete in the USAV Girls' Junior National Championship in Detroit, MI.  Our goal as a team is to raise money to help offset the cost of this event for the athletes and their families.

In March, the MPV 14s MAX team traveled to compete in the Colorado Crossroads National Qualifier where they along with 129 14U teams began their pursuit of a championship title in the American Division and a bid to the Girls’ Junior National Championship being held this summer in Detroit, MI.  In order to win a bid, the 14s MAX team had to win it all and they did just that!  9 girls between the ages of 12 and 14 battled it out against teams with a 9+ inch height advantage but there was no stopping this team stacked with tiny sticks of dynamite.  These girls were explosive when they needed to be and they played as a team and they won as a team, they took Colorado Crossroads by storm.  To beat out 129 other teams for the single bid to nationals is huge and to do this in only their 2nd year, but they were determined to do it and they never looked back.  This 1^st Place finish for the 14’s MAX team has motivated them to work even harder because they now want a National title and these girls can do it!  Many see this team and think that they are small and they are; Small in size but BIG in drive and determination and that is what leaves its mark on their opponents. 

I could not be more of the 14s MAX Team, club volleyball is competitive, and this was a BIG win!  Our priority as a club is not to focus on being better than anyone else, rather it is to be better than the athlete and team we were yesterday; I think as a club we are succeeding in that aspect, and that is what is important.  That is what we are about, making sure the kids are striving to achieve their MAX. 

 But it doesn't end there for the 14s MAX team.  The MPV 14s MAX team traveled to Atlanta Easter weekend to compete in the Big South National Qualifier where they set out on another quest for a championship title and a bid to the Girls’ Junior National Championship but now in the USA Division being held this summer in Detroit, MI.  The competition in the USA Division was stronger and we knew it was going to be tough.  In order to win a bid, the 14s MAX team had to finish top 3.  We had no doubt they could accomplish that, but they played lights out and won it all! They have no idea how huge this win was, they are the only club team in the county to win 2 National Qualifiers this season! Two 1^st Place finishes at two National Qualifiers for this team is a big deal! 

I could not be more of the 14s MAX Team, club volleyball is competitive, and this was a BIG win!  Our priority as a club is not to focus on being better than anyone else, rather it is to be better than the athlete and team we were yesterday; I think as a club we are succeeding in that aspect, and that is what is important.  That is what we are about, making sure the kids are striving to achieve their MAX. 

Because the cost of attending Nationals is not included in their regular season budget, the 14s MAX team is in need of your help to make this trip happen.  The cost to attend this event to compete for a National Title is approximately $1,000 per athlete which includes air travel expenses, ground transportation and hotel accomodations.  Therfore, we are hoping to raise at least half that to lessen the burden for each family.
