Academy of Volleyball in Redwood City, California

“Our experience with Academy of Volleyball has been amazing — and this is now our third year with the program, which says everything. The coaches have helped my daughter grow tremendously, not just as a volleyball player, but as a confident, disciplined young person. Every practice is intentional, and they are always finding ways to help the girls thrive on and off the court. What truly sets Academy apart is the…”

“This is our second year with Academy Volleyball Club, and we truly can’t imagine life before volleyball. ACV gave my teenager not only the opportunity to play competitive volleyball, but also direction, discipline, confidence, and purpose. And I truly mean it!

“Our daughter has played at a few clubs but this is by far the best experience she has had so far. Her coach is super-engaged, high energy and finds alternative approaches to motivation ("bread points") that my daughter really appreciates. The team has really come together and you can see how the coach has injected that energy. So positive, so encouraging. Thanks.”

Academy of Volleyball feels like a family, welcoming, supportive, and with easy…”

Our team has a 20ish year old head coach who is contacting minors over the break to share non volleyball related content. He asks the minor girls team to spend hours looking for his videos on YouTube and gives them “bread-points”…”

“Both my daughters have played club volleyball for the last 8 years. We started at Academy and also have played at a number of other clubs on the peninsula over the years as well. We came back to Academy because it has always felt like home to us. The quality of the teams have also been good — my youngest daughter’s team has earned a bid to go to Nationals three times while at Academy. They have amazing coaches as…”

“My daughter had the greatest experience at Academy. In her two years she developed her skills and strength tremendously. That is a credit to my daughter, her coaches, and the club. We will miss Academy, but it is because of them that my daughter will be playing volleyball in college.”
