OUR PROGRAM

There is the lack of opportunities for boys volleyball in Michigan and we are meeting the need for this rapidly growing interest in volleyball. We want to foster a love and appreciation for the sport that will extend beyond their youth and into their adult years.

Boys volleyball is just starting to catch on in Michigan. Unlike other sports where boys have to start at a very young age to make the high school varsity team, boys volleyball is not yet developed to that point. By starting now, your son will have an advantage to make and star in his varsity team and get major playing time.

We train in all aspects of volleyball fundamental skills, game strategy, and sportsmanship. Disciplined and full effort training to push beyond one’s comfort zone will enable the athlete to play with enthusiasm and confidence. To build camaraderie, special emphasis will be placed on being an encouraging and positive teammate.

Our founder grew up playing volleyball in Los Angeles and has also coached volleyball on the east coast. Our aim is to bring the best of the west coast and east coast volleyball training programs to Grand Rapids. We strive to arrange as many scrimmages and competitions as possible to test and motivate our athletes to excel.

Explore the exciting world of boys volleyball with us. From rigorous training to the thrill of competing on a team, Grand Rapids Volleyball Club offers an unmatched experience for young athletes in Grand Rapids, MI.

Our intent is to compete as much as we can locally within the state of Michigan to minimize transportation and accommodation expenses.

At the same time, for the teams who demonstrate the ability to compete on the regional stage, we will provide options for them to compete in major tournaments outside Michigan.

Do you support multi-sport athletes?

Yes, we will try to accommodate multi-sport athletes as much as possible. Please let us know your son’s practice schedules as soon as possible to see if we can plan around them.
