About Us:
AVVC is a member of the Garden Empire Volleyball Association (GEVA), the local region of USA Volleyball (USAV), which is the National governing body for the sport of volleyball in the United States.
Last year, AVVC served roughly 175 boys and girls from Essex, Bergen, Hudson, Union, Middlesex, Somerset, Morris, Monmouth, Sussex, and Hunterdon Counties.
The majority of our graduating high school seniors from last season are continuing their volleyball careers in college for DI, DII and DIII NCAA Programs. Our experienced coaching staff is comprised of college and high school coaches and many are former college or professional players.
Our Mission:
The mission of Atlantic Valley Volleyball Club is to promote the sport of volleyball in the communities we serve and to provide an opportunity for boys and girls in New Jersey to elevate their skills, compete at the highest level possible and pursue their passion for the game of volleyball.
