ABOUT THE CLUB
BUILT IN CAPE GIRARDEAU. RUN FOR EVERY ATHLETE IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI.
Founded in 2001 and based at The Sportsplex in Cape Girardeau, MO, NSSC Volleyball Club is the largest youth volleyball club in Southeast Missouri and the only Nike-sponsored club in the region. We serve boys and girls ages 8–18 across more than 30 competitive teams every season — with families driving in from Jackson, Sikeston, Perryville, Farmington, Scott City, and Poplar Bluff to train with us.
Other Cape Girardeau volleyball options either turn kids away or send families two hours up I-55 for high-level competition. NSSC was built to fix both problems. Up to three competitive teams per age group means more athletes get to play. Self-hosted tournaments mean lower travel costs and more weekends at home.
Whether your athlete is brand new to club volleyball or chasing a college commitment, there’s a path for them at NSSC.

WHY NSSC
WHY CAPE GIRARDEAU FAMILIES CHOOSE NSSC
LOCAL-FIRST. LOWER COST.
We self-host tournaments in Cape Girardeau so families get high-level competition without 4-hour drives to St. Louis every weekend. Less travel. Lower fees. More time at home.
MORE TEAMS, MORE OPPORTUNITY
Up to three competitive teams per age group means we don’t turn kids away. If your athlete wants to grow, there’s a place for them — from 10U beginners to 18U college-bound.
NIKE-SPONSORED ADVANTAGE
As the only Nike-sponsored volleyball club in Southeast Missouri, every athlete gets Nike-branded uniforms and their own Hudl account for game film — resources most local clubs can’t offer.
DEVELOPMENT OVER DRAMA
Our coaches are USAV-certified, college-experienced, and focused on the whole athlete — skill, character, and confidence. No ‘elite-only’ politics. Effort and attitude are what move kids up.
