Hey all, here is a list of club volleyball websites that I would like you to consider if you plan on playing club volleyball this coming year.
- Puget Sound VBC www.psvbc.com
I am personally involved with this club. It is traditionally one of the top clubs in the region. It’s a little pricing but not by much given traveling cost are included in the fee’s whereas other clubs it’s an extra charge. This club travels 2-3 times to Spokane, another national qualifier in places like Dallas Tx, also at the end of the season there will be a national tournament somewhere in the country we will attend. This club offers teams for all ages and generally an extra local team for freshman and sophomores. The fee’s for the local teams are less.
- University Place VBC www.upvbc.org
This club started about 5 or 6 years ago and fields a couple of strong teams in the U16-U17 categories and each of the other age groups continue to get stronger each season. We have had a number of our players play there and have been very satisfied. I would not hesitate to tryout for this club. They also send some or most of their teams to Spokane or other qualifiers
- The Edge Tacoma www.edgevolleyball.net
I believe last year was the first year for this club. The coaches are from TCC and have great reputations for their teaching and coaching. I don’t think they did much traveling last year and would guess their fee’s to be a little less than some but I don’t know this for sure. Again I think depending on your level of ability and desires this would be a great choice as well.
- Narrows Tacoma www.eteamz.com/
narrowsLong time area club generally they field good team and sometimes flirt with the elite clubs of the region. My daughter Megan played for them for 3 years a while back. I have kind of lost touch with the coaching staff over the years. I know we have had a few of our players play here as well. They do send teams to Spokane, but not sure if they go other places. Another good choice for some of you.
- Puyallup Juniors www.eteamz.com/puyallupjrsvbc/
I know a lot of players the play for this club and a couple of coaches. The do send teams to places like Spokane and Reno. I think you will find this club to be an upper middle club in the competition world with good coaching. You might consider them.
- Kent Juniors (KJVBC) www.kjvbc.comAnother top elite club of the region. Very good teams top to bottom. In many ways similar to Puget Sound. Long time tradition of top level competition. We have not had any players play for them, I do know many kids that do. Main reason is it’s in Kent and there are closer choices, but if you have the desire to play for one of the best or perhaps the best club you might consider the drive over there.
- Sports for Youth (Des Moines area) www.sportsforyouth.comVery good entry level club… we have had a few players go up there given they didn’t have much volleyball experience or didn’t make another team. I will say each came back a much better player than before their experience.
- Lake Tapps www.ltvbc.com
This is there second year. Last year they just had one team U-15. They have expanded to 3 teams 2 U16 teams and 1 U17 team. I know most of their players and some of their coaches. All are great people, this might be a solid place to tryout or at least some consideration. However I think they practice over at Auburn Riverside… so again there are closer choices.
- Northwest Juniors www.nwjuniors.com
This club keeps expanding… for years they were just up north of Seattle. Last year they set up a few teams down in Kent. The have been around for a long time and this past season had a couple of teams do very well… qualifying for a national tournament. A bit of a drive but still another choice for you.
Here is a list of other clubs… most are farther drives but still are choices to consider
- WVBA www.wvba.org
- Sudden Impact www.sivbc.org
- Spanaway VBC www.eteamz.com/powersurgevb
- Saturdays Warriors www.swvbc.com
- Above the Net www.abovethenet.net
There are others hopefully I didn’t leave any local ones out. That was not my intention. All clubs have something to offer you as a player. Please players and parents consider club volleyball. It’s a great family activity. Most teams practice twice a week and play 1-2 tournaments a month. Generally on Sundays.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask me.
See you all at the banquet,
Coach John
