About
The Edge Volleyball Club offers a Short Season program, Middle School Program, High School Program, Private Lessons, Volleypops, Volleybees, and Camps. Athletes take part in serving, hitting, blocking, setting, passing, agility and vertical training, individualized positional training, gameplay oriented training, and an internal “Tournament” play day. Training also includes learning rotations, offensive and defensive systems, strategy, and the core rules of the game.
• Ages: 3–18 years old
The Short Season program is a beginner-level camp-style program that focuses on every skill and breaks it down into core fundamentals without tryouts or traveling tournaments, and it ends with an internal “Tournament” play day. It is described as ideal for athletes just being introduced to the sport and for younger athletes preparing to try out for the Middle School Program or their middle school team. The Middle School Program covers the fundamentals of serving, hitting, blocking, setting, and passing, and includes instruction in rotations, offensive and defensive systems, strategy, and the core rules of the game, along with position-specific skills and a more in-depth look at one to two positions that fit each athlete’s skill set. The Middle School Program is described as ideal for athletes who strive to play at a high school level.
The High School Program includes agility and vertical training, individualized positional training, and gameplay oriented training. The High School Program also introduces athletes to techniques required to continue their volleyball careers after high school in the form of recruiting help and guidance, and national teams have the opportunity to play at larger national qualifier tournaments against out-of-state opponents. Private Lessons are offered year round for all ages. Volleypops and Volleybees are offered year round for ages 3–10, and Camps are offered for ages 13–18 in July and August.
The Edge Volleyball Club states that it believes in coaching the whole athlete by developing personal confidence levels, individual technical skills, and lifelong leadership abilities. The club lists “Partnerships” under community involvement, and it notes © 2026-2027 The Edge Volleyball Club. Families also have options to volunteer with The Edge or host a clinic.
