 We appreciate your help in following the above guidelines current to us from the CDC, State of Illinois, and the Kane County Health Department. As new guidelines are presented we will continue to update our procedures.

Top Flight cannot guarantee that any activity is 100% safe. Top Flight will do everything in its power to ensure the safety of its families, athletes and staff throughout this pandemic, however participation in sports is to the liability of its own athlete. Top Flight is released of all liability (including but not limited to COVID-19) as a result of participation.

Top Flight plans on following all guidelines from the CDC and local governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. If we are to close our facility we will make up all missed practice time on additional days upon reopening or into the May-August time slot. Tournament dates will be made up in the same time frame by scrimmage time, sand events, or other local tournaments as allowed. Anything unable to be made up will be a credit to your account to be used in the future for camps, clinics, sand, leagues, lessons, or club. 

Top Flight is following all guidelines set forth by youth sports “return to play”, full information is on the main page of our website. The infected athlete will be required to stay home for a minimum of 10 days plus 3 days of fever free with no additional symptoms. We will notify the families that would have been in direct contact with the infected individual. We will fully sanitize the gym and equipment. If an outbreak is occurring the gym will close for self quarantining measures and resume after 10 days.

National teams will continue to run the normal schedule of local practices, conditioning, and tournaments. For this season (due to the constantly changing travel guidelines) we have created an ala carte travel schedule so that teams can participate out of state as they are comfortable. Teams will be given a list of out of state events and the travel costs associated with them for participation. Fees will be collected based on attendance.

Locations included but not limited to the following:

Minneapolis, Minnesota
St Louis, Missouri
Indianapolis, Indiana
Louisville, Kentucky
Chicago, Illinois
Orlando, Florida

Yes, we do anticipate being able to attend our out of state events as scheduled, however, we will leave individual decisions to the team and families if they are comfortable attending. See the question above.

Our coaching staff is experienced and 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, Top Flight strives to be one of the top competitors in the volleyball community.

Top Flight is intent on competing with the top volleyball programs in the country. We will focus on training our athletes to do just that. Our unique training methods, strength and conditioning, individual position training and attention to detail are what we feel sets us apart from the competition. We focus on training each individual player to reach their potential. Every athlete is different and will require training that fits their needs. Our program also caters to the needs of the multi-sport athlete.

We will assist our athletes in their pursuit of college opportunities, meeting with parents and college coaches to provide each athlete with their possibilities for the future. We feel with the right amount of exposure and elite competition this will give our athletes a wonderful opportunity to continue their volleyball careers at the collegiate level.

At Top Flight VBC we take pride in assisting our club athletes during their college recruiting process. We understand it can be a stressful time, but we want to walk you through the process. If our athletes want to play in college then we will help to assist them in finding the right fit academically and athletically. If they are undecided, we walk them through the process to help them to understand what they should be doing and what they should be looking for during their college selection. We believe there is a fit for each and every athlete in our program.
