In seven years, Northeast has become one of the top clubs in the region and a national contender with 30+ championships last year and over 90 athletes continuing on to NCAA programs. Whether your athlete has big dreams or just wants to try something new, we’re here to guide them through their volleyball journey.
"We are so happy that we found NEVBC! The quality of coaching and emphasis on being a good teammate, human being - and parent! - sets Northeast apart from any other youth sport we have been involved with. Our daughter LOVES Northeast and has had the best coaches!”
