Training

TRAQ 3D Training

As one of the premier training and competition facilities in Ohio, Ohio Nets Sports Complex is now affiliated with a cutting edge training system called TRAQ 3D (Training, Reaction, Agility, Quickness – TRAQ). Memberships may be purchased separately and are optional as a supplement to our volleyball training. It's convenient for CVC athletes as it is located in the balcony of Ohio Nets Sports Complex so you can train on the same days as you practice! Memberships are open to the general public. Traq 3D is open during all of our tryouts for anyone (players, parents, siblings, etc.) for a free trial. Give it a try... you'll love it!
