Philosophy
Like many clubs, Courtside United competes in leagues and tournaments throughout the year, although our philosophy and approach is often found to be different from most organizations. We believe in quality over quantity in relation to the number of tournaments teams participate in, and are more concerned about the development of each player on the roster than national team ranking. Courtside United club members receive consistent training opportunities year-round, and priority access and registration discounts to all Courtside 360 clinics/camps. Courtside United provides three divisional team programs - Developmental, Competitive, Elite. Through year-round programs, Courtside offers athletes of all skill level development opportunities at the Rec level through League Play in addition to our Competitive and Elite Tournament Team Divisions. For our High School Elite Division, platform, exposure, and recruitment is key. Regardless of team division – Player Development is our focus!
Player Development Program
Courtside’s programming focuses on Individual Player and Team Development through Private Training, Sports Performance, Skills Clinics, Team Workshops, League Play, and Tournaments – led by certified coaches and athletes with college/pro playing experience. Courtside’s diverse training staff offers a unique approach to athletic development and understand the dedication, discipline and mindset it takes to advance in your craft. Our staff currently train beginners and college athletes in volleyball, basketball, soccer, football, and track & field.
Courtside Culture
As the name Courtside United suggests, we consider our teams to be a family unified with a purpose bigger than volleyball. This can be uncommon within club sports. We train, compete, and grow as athletes and individuals. Courtside United is about complete development - making each person better - so that their influence makes others better. Our culture is character first, train and play second, but honor and impact always.
Let’s team up:

Our difference:
There’s an unfortunate negative perception of some amateur athletic programs. This may be due to an unfavorable coaching environment and a win-at-all-cost attitude, an unbalanced system that lacks focus on skill development where competing in overly scheduled seasons supersede training, or social pressure and financial strain on families. Our club platform sways from this structure and offers a unique alternative to the traditional format. While the spirit of the club is competitive and we play with intent to win, that is not our primary focus.
Chasing development, not hardware.
Instead of being focused on rankings, and consumed with out of state travel and the busyness of playing in multiple tournaments each month within an environment that leaves little time for player development, Courtside’s strategy is to train regularly, and play a healthy regular season schedule in the DFW area combined with a modest travel. Heavier schedules and travel are reserved only for eligible Elite teams. We feel this strategic approach allows for more training time spent on developing skillset and increasing IQ and better prepares athletes for high-level competition.
We strive to raise the bar on what a quality, enjoyable youth sports experience can be for the players, coaches, and families part of our club, as well as the facility operators and tournament directors we come in contact with.
