About
Ballard Volleyball Club offers a formal club team along with shorter clinics, skills clinics, a hitting clinic, multi-week skills clinics, and weekend open gyms. Players take part in passing, setting, and hitting skills development, and club teams compete in the Puget Sound Regional Volleyball power league, tournaments in the Puget Sound region, and one travel tournament. The club runs U12, U13, U14, U15, and U16 tryouts and clinics/camps.
• Ages: 11–16 years old
• Schedule: Two 7-week skills clinics in the fall, two 3-week skills clinics in the winter, and one 3-week hitting clinic in the spring; club team tournaments in the Puget Sound region from December to April
In the 2024–2025 season, Ballard Volleyball Club hosted its first formal club team, the U14 Sockeye Sockeye Slammin' Salmon, which played in the Puget Sound Regional Volleyball power league. The club plans to field a formal U15 girls club team through Puget Sound Regional Volleyball for the 2025–2026 season, with tournaments in the Puget Sound region from December to April and one travel tournament. The leadership team includes Club Director Mike Galan and U15 Head Coach Ellie Zimmerman. The Ballard Volleyball Club states that its mission is to offer affordable and shorter skills clinics throughout the year so that players can develop and improve in volleyball without a large time and financial commitment, to support participation in other sports, and for the club team to focus on fundamentals and fun, with drills reinforced through demonstration and repetition in a competitive environment and a stated goal of developing solid volleyball players with a lifelong love of the sport.
