Six Footas Plus Volleyball blossomed in January 2005 to help further develop the skills of the athletes that were not getting the attention that they needed from their school teams due to the amount of kids or just to try and get better training via one on one. Six Footas Plus focuses on the dynamic fundamental breakdown of each player in order to achieve the desired skill performance outcome.
Six Footas Plus currently has clients from various locations in the Houston and Surrounding area. Ages range from 9 - 40 children, men and women.
Today, Six Footas Plus has earned it place in the volleyball world and is instrumental in the placement of players in some of the most competitive volleyball clubs in the Houston and surrounding areas. Several of our past clients have continued their volleyball careers at Division I Colleges and Universities.
