First Practice in the Books: A Strong Start to the 2025–2026 Season

This past Sunday, our courts were buzzing with energy, effort, and excitement as we officially kicked off the 2025–2026 club volleyball season. 304 girls across our 10U–18U age divisions stepped onto the court—and what a way to begin.

Over the next two weeks, athletes will continue to showcase their skills, work ethic, and team-first attitude as our coaching staff thoughtfully builds out rosters. These early practices aren’t about perfection—they’re about progress. They’re where confidence grows, friendships begin, and athletes show what they’re truly capable of.
