Lightning Volleyball Club

2025-2026 Season Overview

The Lightning Club provides an affordable club volleyball season for Eastview boys volleyball players. Ideally we provide teams for Juniors (select Seniors, upon need), Sophomores & Freshmen. We typically have had 2 teams: a 16s & 17s (or 18s) teams and would like to add a 14s team for Middle School aged kids (6th-8th). There is a tryout process to show the skills to merit being on a team. Each team will have between 8-12 players consisting of players who attend Eastview High School (unless a team is in need of players). Tryouts will be the second week of September. Then practices to start in immediatley following tryouts. Teams typically practice twice a week and will play in 8 tournaments.

The 14s team will start at a later date & have a lighter schedule (less tournaments and practices than the other teams), and the cost would be less as well.

There is a $50 tryout fee (refundable if you do not make a team)

Costs will be $850/player. Fees include:

Fall League (5 dates)
- 9/21, 9/28, 10/5, 10/12, 10/19
