The guys have gotten better as the season goes along, but they need to be touching balls all the time. We need to get kids excited about playing volleyball. The place that needs to start, in order for the Saints to compete with the Wheaton Warrenville Souths and Sandburgs of the high school realm, is with students who have yet to enroll at St. Charles East. Kull's girls teams have been fed by a steady supply of players from the area's powerhouse volleyball clubs, West Chicago's Sports Performance and P.O.V., based in LaFox. Finding volleyball club teams is more difficult for boys than with girls.
Fewer options exist.
Sports Performance's boys program is nearby and national-caliber, just like its girls program. However, P.O.V. doesn't have boys teams. The closest top-flight program other than Sports Performance is Circus Volleyball Club in Schaumburg. Kull also pointed out that playing for those clubs is expensive. While that might be the best route for the most committed members of her program to develop their abilities, she doesn't need all of her players to play year-round to be successful.
