What Is Club Volleyball? Club teams are comprised of players ages 8-18,

who compete in their specific age group against

similar teams from across the nation in local,

regional, and national events. Players choose to participate in club volleyball for

a variety of reasons: love of the sport, competition,

and team camaraderie; to improve their volleyball

skills and make their high school teams; to earn a

college scholarship.

College coaches focus their recruiting on club

events, where 100 to 1,000 teams compete at a sin-

gle event. Furthermore, club players are more

experienced at competing at a higher level of play. Since the Club’s inception, over 100 Silver State

VBC seniors have gone on to play college

volleyball, with the average scholarship amount

being about $24,000 per year. In addition, being a recruited athlete opens

admission doors at many prestigious colleges not

available to every prospective student. Many Silver

State VBC athletes have continued their careers at

Ivy League schools based on a combination of their

athletic and academic abilities.
