CLUB HISTORY
The EAST OHIO Volleyball Club has been teaching volleyball since 1992.
GOALS & PHILOSOPHY
The goals of EOVC are to provide over 100 hours of skill development, team strategy, and tournament experience to each player in our club. We want to be able to send our players back to their high school teams as one of the best players to their school. We will not put any unreasonable demands on players when conflicts occur with EOVC and another seasonal high school sport. We also will not demand any player to choose between family or religious occasions and EOVC practices/tournaments. The EOVC philosophy is "FAMILY, SCHOOL, and then ATHLETICS."
