Frequently Asked Questions
Transparent answers about how we train, compete, schedule, and support families at Tualatin Valley Volleyball Club.
Club Volleyball Basics
Start here if you're new to club volleyball or wondering if it's right for your family.
Club volleyball is organized outside of the school season (typically winter–spring). Teams practice weekly and compete in regional (and sometimes national) events. It's a chance to get more touches, grow confidence, and keep playing with friends.
More meaningful reps, better competition, and a supportive team environment. Some athletes play to prepare for high school or college; others play simply to improve and have fun. Either way, club can accelerate learning and connection.
- Accessible & local: lower costs, less travel.
- Joy-first culture: confidence and belonging matter.
- Smaller rosters: more meaningful court time.
- Modern training: practices built on Ecological Dynamics & the Constraints-Led Approach—game-realistic, adaptable, and fun.
If they enjoy learning, competing, and being part of a team—and your family can commit time and budget—club can be a great fit. We're happy to talk through your situation.

For the current season, we plan teams at 14U, 16U, and 18U, based on interest and coach availability.
