Merrimack Volleyball Club United is the vision of Head Coach Matt Twomey. Since 2005, Coach Twomey has been the head coach of the Methuen High School Girl's and Boy's volleyball programs and has successfully transformed both into two of the most competitive teams in the Merrimack Valley Conference and the state of Massachusetts. Coach Twomey continued to grow the sport in his hometown of Methuen, creating the Methuen Youth Volleyball League, bringing the sport to students in grades 5-8 in Methuen. Now in its 4th year, the MYVL has over 150 participants and continues to grow each year!
Merrimack Valley Volleyball Club United is the latest attempt to grow the sport and this time we will be heading beyond the borders of Methuen, and uniting the Merrimack Valley to create a force to be reckoned with. How are we different? Simple! WE ARE NOT A FACTORY! We want our athletes to receive the best coaching available to them without attempting to create as many teams as possible in order to make the most money possible. We want our athletes to LOVE THE SPORT. We want our athletes to work hard to become the best they can be. But most of all, we want our athletes to experience the FEELING OF SUCCESS that comes from being a part of a winning family culture.
In 2024, WE ADVERTISED FOR 1 WEEK AND HAD OVER 60 PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAM! THIS YEAR WE ARE LOOKING FOR MORE!

This year, we will offer NO DEVELOPMENT TEAMS. WE want everyone to get the feel of playing tournament volleyball. If necessary, cuts may be made to tournament teams, but we hope that everyone will make a team and gain valuable experience from this opportunity.
Don't worry about it! WE LOVE MULTISPORT ATHLETES! We understand that schedules can be difficult to navigate. We want you to play the sports you love. With open lines of communication, we can make this work!
