What is club ball?

USAV is a national organization, which promotes and organizes training and competition at the local, regional and national levels. There are over 30 clubs in the Houston area alone.

The level of play in club ball is much higher than that found in local recreational leagues and some school programs. Club experience is important in developing as a player. Most, if not all, girls who make their high school teams (not to mention those that go on to win college scholarships) play club ball.

Clubs have tryouts during the summer, prior to the start of the school season. Teams begin practice after the school season ends in mid-November, and then begin playing tournaments on weekends starting in December. The KVA club season ends in mid to late April.

The focus of the club experience is to improve individual play, teamwork, and competitive spirit. This is done through team practice and tournament play. Tournaments usually last all day.

We work hard to exemplify an organization known for its class, organizational ability, integrity, and professionalism. With this goal in mind, coaches are carefully selected. Players will receive excellent instruction and experience competition levels that will help them to improve their skills.

How do I get started in club volleyball?
