The directors and staff of Club Fusion would like to offer a warm welcome to those families considering our club for the upcoming 2008-09 season!  We wish to extend a great welcome back to all of last year’s families who helped make the 2008 season such a rewarding and memorable year, not only with amazing results but in terms of new relationships that will last a lifetime.

Welcome to new families that are looking to join Club Fusion for the first time. Historically an average of 100 new families join Club Fusion each year. We hope you will feel comfortable joining a new club that focuses on family as much as we do at Club Fusion! We hope that you enjoy our website, which is designed to give all the information you need about Club Fusion to check us out, as well as the logistics of tryouts and pertinent information on how to make contact with us if you have additional questions for us.

There are 5 key ingredients to a successful club volleyball organization. They are coaching, competition, facility, infrastructure and customer service. Club Fusion has a simple strategy each season that states, “Each year Club Fusion will provide more value to it’s families (parents & players) than the year before.” Driven by these 5 key ingredients this is where we plan to add value to our families. During tryouts each year, parent information meetings are  held to answer more specific questions about Club Fusion. Hope to see you there!

Program Information
Club Fusion Volleyball is an elite junior volleyball club sanctioned through USA Volleyball and the Great Lakes Region. Fusion 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 has allowed us to catapult to the top of the Great Lakes Region.

Our focus is on training each individual player to reach her potential. Every athlete is different and will require training that fits her needs... not those of the programs. Our program also caters to the needs of the multi-sport athlete

We feel that the great deal of exposure and elite competition we offer will give our athletes a wonderful opportunity to continue their volleyball careers at the collegiate level. From the Class of 2007 30 players are currently playing college level volleyball. And currently 15 players in the Class of 2008 have already verbally committed to play at Division I schools.

2008 Season Recap

 

 

Fusion Sports Center
The Fusion Sports Center is a state-of-the-art volleyball complex located in Marengo, Illinois just a mile north of Interstate 90 on Route 20. The beautiful 4 court facility opened its doors in February of 2003 and served as Club Fusion's training facility for the last six seasons. In addition, the Fusion Sports Center was host to several junior girls’ tournaments including the Great Lakes Regional Qualifiers, Great Lakes Power League, The Elite Challenge and Club Fusion's Fusion Fest Tournament Series.

Internal Recruiting Service
Regarded as one of the top clubs in the country among college coaches, Fusion’s commitment to the recruiting process continues to be strong. Behind the hard work of Jim Mohr and the Club Fusion staff, athletes are exposed to colleges across the country at every level. Jim works with the athletes and the parents to find the right fit for each player, and is considered by many collegiate coaches as the best in the business. Every player that has wanted to play at the collegiate level has seen their goals realized in our six years in existence and Jim is dedicated to seeing that mark stay intact for many years to come.

Tournaments & Competition
The Club Fusion staff works extremely hard each season to find the right blend of competition, convenience and cost when putting together the tournament schedule. Teams may play in the Great Lakes Power League, Fusion Tournaments, and other national and local quality tournaments.   For 2009, we anticipate that our Club will continue to grow in the number of  success stories that our teams have, and more importantly that our players as individuals have.
