Welcome to JKSports
Heat Indoor Travel 2025 Season
STEP UP your game! Be a part of Fredericksburg’s top volleyball clubs, JK Sports. Nationally recognized as one of the top teams in the region for girls volleyball, we are adding a U15 boys team to strengthen our program. Our goal is to promote a family centric atmosphere, and we seek players and parents who admire and appreciate a strong commitment towards a deeper understanding of core values. As a smaller club, we do not rest on our past successes as a guarantee for our future teams.
HEAT volleyball club is a family owned, dedicated, involved, and competitive junior travel program for young volleyball players who are looking to take their skills to the next level. The junior travel program is designed for players who are committed to the sport and wish to compete at a higher level and families who are willing to dedicate and sacrifice their time to help develop their player. Our travel program includes participation in various tournaments, where teams have the opportunity to compete against other high-level teams from different areas. These tournaments provide valuable competitive experience and exposure for players who aspire to play at the collegiate level in the future.
At HEAT the director brings in valuable, hands-on experience participating at each practice and collaborating with the coaches. The practices are structured and geared towards competitive play and unleashing the players' greatest strengths and abilities to the volleyball community. We pride ourselves in being a small, dedicated, and effective volleyball program that knows each player and their family on a personal level. All teams practice 2 times a week for 2 hours each. Once teams are made, schedules will be set.

Forever Learning Yourself
I'm excited to introduce Fly Volleyball. This the 1st meditation I have written and recorded. Listening with headphones is best... Enjoy!
Coach Julie (JK)
As the owner of JKSports, Julie Kaulius brings a fun, unique coaching style.
Breaking down the skills of volleyball so they make sense + pushing gently to step out of comfort zones = rapid development and love of the game.
Julie brings a competitive young spirit that mentors young athletes and teaches tools like breath work and meditation. Through her own practice, Julie has learned to quiet her very busy mind and is excited to teach athletes how to return to the present moment. Athletes can ONLY compete in the present moment so having these tools an invaluable life skill.
After playing D1 volleyball and basketball at Boise State University, coaching came naturally. With over twenty years experience, Julie is excited to see the growth in the athlete's game, IQ, and confidence.
