Adversity Volleyball Expands in the Corporate Woods Vernon Hills, Illinois

 

A top level volleyball program and a beloved and respected badminton academy have enlarged their industrial warehouse presence in the northern suburbs in the Corporate Woods, Vernon Hills, IL. Adversity Volleyball has expanded its space to include the Shannon Pohl Badminton Academy in the 700-740 Corporate Woods Parkway building in the Corporate Woods in Vernon Hills, Illinois. The combined operations now occupy a total of 45,000 square feet.

Adversity Volleyball, one of the leading girls and boys youth volleyball clubs in the Chicagoland area, has developed a national reputation coaching winning teams and sending numerous recruits to top-ranked collegiate programs. Kyle Masterson, Adversity Volleyball’s owner and director, selected the Corporate Woods location for its proximity to numerous highways, multiple high school volleyball leagues and players’ homes. Masterson appreciates the building’s high ceilings and wide bays, which allow the Adversity program to host team practices and tournaments on its 8 courts, and add a state-of-the-art weight room which will be run by outside weight training experts, Prime Time Sports.  Masterson praised the building’s management, Van Vlissingen and Co., for facilitating their smooth expansion into adjacent space and their ongoing coordination of additional parking when large crowds attend tournaments and special events at the site.

Joining Adversity Volleyball in the 700-740 Corporate Woods Parkway building is the Shannon Pohl Badminton Academy. This premier program has 13 badminton courts where Shannon Pohl Mitchell, the former Pan American Championships bronze medalist and All-American Collegiate athlete, teaches as well as Andres Corpancho Fort, 8-time Peruvian National Champion and top 35 in the world. The expanded badminton space provides lessons, open gym, tournaments, camps/clinics, charity events and space for a future pro-shop. Pohl likes the building’s location with easy access to the Vernon Hills Athletic Complex’s fields for outside training. She believes her expansion into the Adversity Volleyball space will further the success of her program, and serve the players in the nearby communities who have a special passion and tradition in the sport of badminton.
