About the provider
Los Angeles Volleyball Academy was established in 2010, and SMBC Boys Volleyball Club was established in 1982. The organization says its primary goal is to develop youth and junior athletes and coaches in the region with a blend of talent, technical mastery, volleyball acumen, competitiveness, work ethic, and mental toughness. It also says it aims to create an environment built around family, loyalty, dedication, and reliability.
Non-Travel Programs limit both cost and time commitment. All skills levels welcome in the Juniors Program and 6th Grade Series. 9th graders can participate with approval. Jamboree events are hosted by LAVA 2-3 times per year. The 6th Grade Series does not transition the net and ball in Summer and Fall for rising sixth graders, but does transition the net and ball in Winter and Spring for sixth graders.
