What makes Venetian Bay different from other girls volleyball clubs?
Venetian Bay Volleyball Club has been in existence since 1998. 2007 will mark our 9th season. Venetian Bay Volleyball Club has been under the same management, producing a consistent level of high quality teams each year. Many of the coaches are former Venetian Bay members who were trained with the same philosophy and have taken their experience from their collegiate playing days and would now like to share that wealth of experience to their players. We have done everything to keep club costs down. Sometimes we may not have the fanciest uniforms on the court but we believe it’s how you play that really counts. We are a club that says, “What you see is what you get!”
