Want to Coach?
Many area clubs are still looking for coaches for their 2009-2010 teams. Please contact the clubs in your area to see if they have openings - the club directors would love to hear from you! Just search for the girls or boys clubs at left and sort by area.

I Want to Play!!!
Young athletes who want to join a club should locate all the clubs in their area and get information on their programs. There are many different clubs for every commitment and skill level.  Some clubs hold tryouts. Some clubs don't.  Some clubs practice once or twice a week and compete in local tournaments. Some clubs practice 3-4 times a week and travel out of state.  Ask a lot of questions, attend informational meetings and find the club for you!  Clubs will begin signing up members no sooner than November 14th for girls and November 21st for boys.

Carthage College To Host 2010 Molten Division III Men's Invitational Volleyball Championship!
Carthage College in Kenosha will be hosting the 2010 Molten Division III Men’s Invitational Volleyball Championship on April 16 & 17.  This is a terrific opportunity for players to attend an elite level NCAA Division III men’s volleyball competition.  It is also a great tool to introduce potential players and novice players to the speed and power experienced in NCAA men’s volleyball. Within a few short years this tournament will be taken over by the NCAA when they create a national championship tournament specifically for NCAA Division III men’s volleyball.  Many players may have aspirations of playing in an NCAA national championship event and they will soon have two different tournaments where they could compete for such a distinguished honor.  For the official press release announcing Carthage College as the host of this year’s event visit http://usavolleyball.org/news/article/28413.
