About Us.

 

TAVA's Junior Volleyball Club hosts young aspiring volleyball players, boys and girls, ages 10 - 18.  Since 2008, TAVA has assembled over 30 junior club teams, competing in tournamets across the nation.  TAVA values education and assists graduating seniors make the move to college volleyball, many with athletic or academic scholarships.

 

In 2011, TAVA expanded to include our littlest volleyball players, the TAVA Tots. TAVA Tots helps to develop the athlete in children ages 4 - 9, by teaching the game of volleyball and nurturing the athletic skills that allow them to play any sport. 

 

TAVAʻs newest program is the TAVA Leadership Program, bringing TAVA Juniors together with TAVA Tots through mentorship, leadership training and opportunities, and offering club volleyball scholarships as an incentive for hard work
