Northern Cincinnati Volleyball Club

Our club volleyball program is for girls and boys in grades 4-10 grades. Evaluations are held often throughout the year to ensure that our players are given a fair chance to compete at this level. All players will register for the season and then be transferred to the appropriate division once evaluations are complete.

Our goal in these advanced divisions will now allow players to develop their skills at a quicker pace with trained coaches. Players should be able to perform basic skills, while mastering ball movement and court awareness. This is a more competitive environment and our players will be pushed and challenged.

Players who participate in Peppers or Spikers will play teams outside of our program and could travel, participating in the Cincinnati Premiere Volleyball League based upon coach's request.
