Who can play?

Club volleyball is an avenue for male and female players, age 12 to 18 to receive advanced training and competition on local, regional and national stages. Many volleyball clubs exist both locally and nationally, most composed of multiple teams.  Our club offers 15 girls' teams and 4 boys' teams, along with a beach volleyball training program, and other recreational and instructional programs.

POPULARITY:

Volleyball is the 3rd most popular sport for girls in high school with 404,000 girls on varsity level programs. The sport is also increasing for boys, with 42,000 boys playing at the varsity level in 22 states (including RI) currently.

COST:

Costs typically include practice locations; number, type, and location of tournaments;  staff and overhead expenses.  Depending on what team your child is on, there may be additional costs to tuition for extra tournaments.

New friendships:

Bringing athletes together with similar goals from various schools makes friendships. The relationships that have been formed through practice and team play will be friendships that last a lifetime.

Tournament play:

JO (Junior Olympic/Club) tournaments are where the hard practice pays off and many favorable memories are made. Understand that practice and training is where you receive the most instruction and experience. Tournament play is only a supplement to participating in Club. Club tournaments can be far more competitive and more physically demanding than high school matches.

EXPOSURE TO COLLEGE RECRUITERS:

College coaches regularly attend JO tournaments, since they have the opportunity to watch a number of players in one location. For that reason, the majority of colleges now recruit directly from club programs.
