Level of Competition:
NoCoFoSho was developed by North County area high school coaches in response to a need we perceived as we visited area schools and met with players and their families. We noticed a lack of teams and programs in place to expand competitive, college-preparatory volleyball experience to North County area players and families. Our goal is to make the club experience affordable, accessible, enlightening, competitive, and fun We seek to offer a competitive club experience and to prepare high school athletes for a more elite experience in college athletics if possible. We also aim to give players more depth and breadth of experience by targeting specific skills, exposing players to a broader range of competition, and by developing desirable mental and physical characteristics in each athlete.
