About Us:
Welcome to Sky High Volleyball as we celebrate our 19th anniversary of volleyball excellence!
Established in the fall of 1989 through the leadership of Scott and Sherry Harris, Sky High continues to offer the best in volleyball instruction with a positive social experience for junior athletes in the Northwest/Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin areas. Sky High's coaching staff is unified in the teaching of basic skills, including the more advanced techniques of the game.
With the philosophy of training athletes in an intense controlled environment, Sky High has become one of the premier volleyball clubs in the nation. Every year, Sky High teams compete in Central Zone events which provide great inter-regional competition. The Central Zone is now considered the strongest tournament series in the nation. The 2008 season will also see the Great Lakes Power League AND new JVDA Zonal Events, will prove to be an exciting and totally challenging combination of league competition.
Sky High's emphasis on healthy competition only takes a back seat to its academic excellence. Sky High Volleyball continues to secure athletic scholarships to top colleges at a rate of 98% of all senior athletes. To date approximately $12.5 Million in scholarship money has been dispensed to Sky High Athletes. Sky High athletes continue to soar academically with an average GPA in excess of 3.50 based on a 4.0 scale.
Sky High also maintains a Booster Club where the families of the athletes support the club. Through fund raising activities such as apparel sales, candy sales, car washes and other fund raising efforts, the Booster Club helps raise funds to defer athletes' costs and purchase additional equipment as needed.
The management of Sky High would like to thank all of the families for supporting their athletes, the boosters and the club. This program would not be possible without your dedication and hard work. Sky High continues to grow into one large family where athletes and parents make new friendships that last a lifetime. The directors and staff hope you enjoy your experience with Sky High, and wish everyone the best of luck! |
