Congratulations to the North Shore Volleyball Club seventh grade team for winning their bracket at the Sportime tournament on April 12th! For a first-year team and a first-year club, we are very proud of you.
Volleyball clubs are the best option for girls who wish to up the intensity of their involvement in the sport. Clubs practice more than once per week, hire qualified instructors, and play in tournaments. Tryouts are in August and seasons run November or December through May.
Clubs are also expensive, with many clubs charging $4,000 or more for a season plus more for travel costs. Practices are not necessarily close to home and friends are unlikely to be put on the same team with the same club. They also require girls to prioritize volleyball over other sports and often conflict with CYO. There are tradeoffs.
North Shore Volleyball Club
In the fall of 2025 we created the North Shore Volleyball Club, a brand new club registered with USA Volleyball. We started with only one team of seventh graders in the 2025 – 2026 season, allowing this group of eleven girls to enter tournaments. In the 2026 – 2027 season we will expand to four teams: 6th graders (in the 2026 – 2027 school year), 7th graders, and two 8th grade teams. Our policy is for players to be living within the North Shore School District. Because we know most of our local players from CYO, there are generally not tryouts so much as sessions for interested players. If your daughter is interested to play with us, please contact us via this website.
The benefits of forming our own club are to:
- Allow the girls to stay together as a team
- Coordinate practices with the middle school season (during 7th & 8th grades)
- Coordinate tournaments with CYO schedules
- Play closer to home
- Charge a lower cost than other clubs.
