Background-Level Names
Power Volleyball Academy is based on the verse 2 Timothy 1:7. "For God does not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of POWER, Love & Sound Mind." In Greek, the original language of most of the New Testament, the word Power is translated to Dunamis. We get our words, dynamite & dynamic. Power is a very explosive word, hence the four levels of the our Youth Academy progresses in strength. Sparklers, Firecrackers, Bottle rockets & Fireworks.
