- Character Development: Believers that a child's development comes from all factors; ATC tackles character and team building during lessons. Encouragement and positive praise is used from all levels.
- National Success: With only two teams in their inaugural season, both earned bids to Nationals. In the first three years of club existence, 4 out of 9 teams participated at USAV Nationals!

The man behind it all is Dave Pauers, a 20-year veteran of volleyball coaching and former physical education teacher. During his freshman year at UW-Oshkosh, Pauers discovered a passion for coaching. Dave recalls being in the midst of coaching a middle school girl's volleyball team. "I still remember the first time one kid was successful. She had the biggest smile ever. And I just loved that I was part of making that happen."
Pauers has extensive knowledge in developing volleyball programs. Over the years, he's created the Cedarburg Summer Sand program, the Slinger Instructional Program, a Richfield Summer Sand program, and an invite-only tournament camp for high school and collegiate level players. The various summer programs attract about 250 kids each year.
