At AIM Sports Group, I will be working to help guide young athletes to new performance levels and provide outstanding experiences – at the events, in the venues, with the AIM+ tech platform and as volleyball players in general.”
“With the sport of volleyball growing at such a rapid rate, now is the perfect time for AIM Sports Group to further expand access to competitive opportunities, improve athlete development pathways, and deliver world-class championship and competitive league and training experiences,” added Jablonski. “I also relish the opportunity to further contribute to the sport that has given so much to me personally.”
As part of his role, Jablonski will work to accelerate AIM Sports Group’s vision of a comprehensive, end-to-end ecosystem for youth volleyball. He will also focus on driving operational enhancements across SoCal Cup league play, national events, and venues and will provide the bridge that powers the AIM+ platform for club directors, coaches, parents, players, recruiters and fans.
