Club Volleyball, also called Travel Volleyball, offers the most advanced and competitive youth volleyball in the area. Participants have the opportunity to hone their skills playing on teams that compete in regional and national tournaments. Colleges recruit players from club programs more often than from high school teams.
Club teams are available for both girls and boys starting with Elementary School (U11, U12) going through Middle School (U13, U14) and High School (U15, U16, U17, U18). In Northern Virginia, most clubs are members of the Chesapeake Region (CHRVA) of the USA Volleyball (USAV) governing organization. Participants must be USAV members and coaches must be certified. Some clubs are also members of the American Athletics Union (AAU) and/or the Junior Volleyball Association (JVA).
