Volley Tots is an introduction to volleyball that focuses on movement and fun, uses First Touch Volleyballs and a 6' net height, and includes a NORCO Volleyball T-shirt. Academy League is a beginner or entry-level league with 8–9 players per team, uses Volley Lites and a 7' junior net height, includes a NORCO Volleyball T-shirt, and has practices that focus on fundamental skills integrated with team play, with matches against other Academy League teams. Prime League is a mini-club experience for players not ready to commit to a full club team or preparing to try out, places players on teams by ability and age, has 8–9 players per team, includes 4 full-day Saturday tournaments at the NORCO facility against other Prime teams and outside clubs, and includes an Under Armour gear package.
Volley Tots runs as a four-week training program with a 2026 winter session in January–February and a 2026 summer session in July. Academy League runs as a four-week league with one match per week, with a 2026 winter session in January–February and a 2026 summer session in June. Prime League runs as a 6–8 week league with 1–2 practices per week, with a 2024 fall session from October 6 to December 6, a 2025 winter session from January 23 to March 21, and a 2025 spring session from April 10 to May 17. An upcoming clinic has a final session on April 4 from 3:00–5:00pm.
NORCO Pickleball is scheduled to open on October 14 (weather dependent) and runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00am–1:00pm. NORCO provides the nets for pickleball, and participants bring their own paddles and balls or check out pickleballs from the front office by leaving a driver’s license or car keys, with any lost pickleballs paid for when the bin is returned. NORCO is cashless and prefers debit or credit cards for pickleball.
The NORCO facility is a 30,000 sq. ft. facility with hours on Monday from 9:00am–12:00pm and 3:00pm–8:00pm, Tuesday from 9:00am–12:00pm and 3:00pm–9:00pm, Wednesday from 9:00am–12:00pm and 3:00pm–8:00pm, Thursday from 9:00am–12:00pm and 4:00pm–9:00pm, closed on Friday, and open Saturday and Sunday from 7:00am–9:00pm.
NORCO Volleyball states that it has 39 years of building teams, players, and people, and also references 40 years. The leadership team includes Executive Director Lindsey Blahauvietz; Director of Programs/Operations and Recruiting Coordinator Daniel Sharrah; Finance Director Mary Murphy; Technical Director Jim Stone; and Club Consultant Cathy Mahaffey, Ed.D.
The stated goal of NORCO Youth Programs is to provide a welcoming and affirming environment where young players develop both skills and a lifelong love for the game, and the youth program is described as having a direct impact on the growth of volleyball in Northern Colorado and the viability of the club program. The program’s stated purpose is to motivate and encourage elementary and middle school students to develop a love for volleyball, to instill NORCO core values so players are developing on and off the court, to offer new ideas and innovate current programs, and to connect NORCO core players and coaches, local college players, and local businesses to the youth program to create a sense of community. NORCO Volleyball is a non-profit organization that focuses on developing volleyball players into well-rounded individuals, with coaches who strive to teach young men and women how to be successful, and describes club volleyball as a tool that teaches them to face difficult circumstances and balance school, life, family, and volleyball.
NORCO invites community members to partner with the program, including long-time volleyball enthusiasts, former and current players, and former and current parents. The organization lists several ways to give back, including sponsoring a current player, supporting building maintenance, contributing to coaches’ salaries, and funding upgrades that improve the overall experience of players, parents, and fans.
