Coastal Virginia Volleyball Club was created in 1994 to bring the youth players of the Virginia Beach Region the highest-quality on and off court experience available. Coastal began its Boys' program in 1999, and has become a nationally recognized program that continues to produce some of the top boys talent on the East Coast. Our success in placing athletes into college programs is unprecedented in the Hampton Roads area. We have a strong core of experienced coaches with a passion for teaching technical skills and sharing our love for the game in a positive environment.
