| WHAT IS CLUB VOLLEYBALL? USA Junior Olympic (JO) Volleyball or Club Volleyball offers athletes the opportunity to participate within various clubs after their school volleyball season. Club Volleyball is an avenue for girls 10 (or even younger) to 18 to play in competitive tournaments and get advanced training. JO Club seasons run from November or December until May. A few top teams continue training until the National Championships, held in June. Club volleyball provides additional training, knowledge, and tournament play. Players will be placed on a team based on their age and skill level. Clubs provide training and tournament play. Athletes compete against each other in their same age group. Younger players may play up in an older age group, but players are not allowed to play in a younger age group. Each player has a different experience as a club member. Naturally, some players are more successful than are others. Players who put more effort into the program get more out of it. Club programs differ from Club to Club. We encourage you to check out the OVR (Ohio Valley Region) website or email with your questions. JO Information The following are some of the benefits of a "JO" program: FITNESS & IMPROVEMENT You will get better! That is a guarantee. Every time you touch the volleyball makes you better than your competition. NEW FRIENDSHIPS Bringing girls together with similar goals from various schools makes friendships. The relationships that have been formed through practice and team play will be friendships that last a lifetime. EXPOSURE TO COLLEGE RECRUITERS College coaches regularly attend JO tournaments. The majority of colleges now recruit directly from club programs. INVESTMENT IN YOUR ATHLETE The training, knowledge, self-esteem and experience your daughter will receive will be priceless. You will not find an alternative where players can receive equal training and experience compared to participating in a JO program. For a college bound player, club is becoming a must. Consider this - each year a few high school players get to compete for a state championship. Every year, multiple teams participate in National Qualifier tournaments as well as the USA Junior Olympic National Championships and AAU National Championships. TOURNAMENT PLAY JO Tournaments are where the hard practice pays off and many favorable memories are made. Understand that practice and training is where you receive the most instruction and experience. Tournament play is only a supplement to participating in Club. Club tournaments are usually far more competitive and more physically demanding than high school matches. WHY PLAY JUNIOR OLYMPIC VOLLEYBALL? Junior Olympic (JO) volleyball programs have exploded all across the country. Only 19 years ago, the first National tournament was held, and only 20 teams made the trip. In 2000 the National Tournament hosted 576 teams, was played on over 40 courts, and lasted 10 days. So successful are JO programs that most college coaches recruit exclusively from the JO program ranks. We find that most girls have several goals. -Some players want to learn more about the sport, improve their skill level, and get playing time in tournaments. -For others, it's simply to extend their high school season by 6 months. -It may be to challenge starters on their school team for playing time next season. - For a few, it will be the exposure needed to compete for future college scholarship opportunities. Today you will find that literally all athletes who play in college participated in club volleyball during high school. All participants enjoy competitive tournament play. Many successful high school coaches are encouraging their athletes to play club volleyball for the experience, instruction, and additional training time. Also, where you find successful high school programs, you will find players who participate in club volleyball. Is JO volleyball only for the college bound athlete? Certainly not! We are interested in building teams in the younger age divisions, as young as 10 who are just beginning their volleyball experience. For most players, JO volleyball is simply another challenging experience that should lead to a lot more fun on the court as playing skills improve.
