This has been a great 2025-2026 season!
Both of our teams had strong first seasons playing USAV for the first time. Almost all of the girls had only played in local recreation leagues and they had a lot to learn.
Coach Abbey Imhoff and Coach Josh Peters ran our 12U team and they finished in the finals two out of their final three tournaments and the coaches, athletes and families all had an wonderful experience. Congratulations to all!!!
Coach Dave Tyner and Coach Reese Wood ran our 13U team and they finished in the finals a remarkable SIX times out of 10 tournaments BUT most importantly, these girls learned to play as a team and built relationships that will be remembered. Congratulations to this remarkable group of athletes and VAU celebrates the MOST supportive families
Thank you to ALL our VAU families.

JV Parent
My daughter played several club seasons for Coach Dave. His knowledge, commitment and love for volleyball and his patience and coaching style with the team was greatly respected by both parents and players. We can’t thank Coach Dave enough for the great experiences and memories he created over the years on the volleyball court.
