Each July many families are being forced to sign a contract with no guarantee on what the dynamic of their experience will be – they don’t know the coaches, teammates, or environment. We’re the one game in town that can look you in the eye and guarantee the same quality of development no matter what your child’s level is.
Sign up for a 2-hour session where we run the athletes through a live practice with the same coaches they’ll get to work with in the Fall or Winter. If you like it? We’ll be happy to take the first 24 11-14U athletes and first 32 15-18U Athletes that want to enroll. Each tryout will be followed by a program overview/q&a session with parents and players.
Try us out on these dates from 6pm-8pm
11-14 4’s Program (12 spots per tryout date) - $35/player
15-18 2’s Program (8 spots per tryout date) - $40/player
Location
7881 Lemont Rd. Darien, IL 60561
Youth sports has become more about income than outcome over the last decade. Progression was created to provide an experience that helps every athlete become the best version of themselves they can be – regardless of level. If you feel the current model of youth sports hasn’t served your child’s best interests, we believe we’re what you’ve been looking for.

We coach juniors ages 11 through 18. We will offer two sessions for 11-14U and two sessions for 15-18U. Groups will train twice a week, Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. Practice times are 8:30-10:30am and 10:30am-12:30pm.
If the time slots do not work for you or the outdoor camp doesn't cover you (boys/adults), please contact us as we do offer customized programming in the afternoons/evenings at our facility.
All practices will be at Four Lakes in Lisle - the compound is a little tricky to navigate if you've never been there, but if you google maps Basecamp Pub (5750 Lakeside Drive, Lisle IL), it'll take you right to the courts.
Every athlete should bring the following to practice:
**ALL athletes should have some sort of breakfast before practice. The majority of times that kids get affected by the heat, they’ve said they hydrated but did not have breakfast that morning, or they only had something small like a banana/granola bar. The temperatures are hot and the kids are participating in high-energy activity: Please make sure they’re fueled properly!**
We're asking that everyone bring the volleyball provided by the camp to be used at practice. Please write in permanent marker on your ball to ensure it doesn't get mistaken for someone else's.
If it rains, we’ll play through it – if there’s lightning, we will immediately suspend play. If the weather is looking ominous prior to practice, we will make a decision an hour before practice as some people have a bit of a commute. Sometimes, the forecast is awful and we don’t see anything. Other times the radar shows nothing and we get a downpour. We’ll do our best to find a balance for our athletes, but safety always comes first.
Once we see the final numbers for summer programming we can make a plan of attack on how make-ups can be done and we will notify the parents.
All participants will receive a Progression Beach Volleyball T-Shirt when they join our camp. We will also be selling tank tops and other PBV apparel for those that may want additional clothing.
Some people have asked if there will be availability to have us coach at tournaments. The program does not include weekend tournaments: While it certainly helps to have coaches at tournaments, if we follow the guidelines, we aren’t allowed to talk to our players aside from timeouts and in between games. Our goal with the program is to teach the kids how to think, how to read their opponent, and how to coach themselves, just like they’ll have to as adults. It’s very important for the athletes to become self-reliant in matches.
In the event that a large amount of our teams are registered for a tournament, we do try to send coaches: We will ask parents to let us know what tournaments their athletes are playing and do our best to come attend when able.
