Toledo Volleyball Club

What Toledo Volleyball Club does

Toledo Volleyball Club (TVC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit youth volleyball organization headquartered at Lucas County Recreation Center in Maumee, Ohio, with a secondary beach volleyball venue at Fallen Timbers Fairways in Waterville, OH. Founded in 1991 by John Buck and Sonny Lewis, TVC operates the oldest volleyball club in Northwest Ohio and currently fields approximately 40 teams serving 400+ athletes across girls and boys travel programs (U10-U18), in-house league teams (grades 3-12), beach/sand volleyball leagues and clinics, and a suite of summer camps, specialty clinics, private lessons, and court rentals. The club competes within USA Volleyball and the Ohio Valley Region, runs annual tiered tryouts (Black/Royal/Silver/White divisions), and supports a college recruiting pipeline led by a dedicated Recruiting Director, with documented placements at DI, DII, DIII, NAIA, and NJCAA programs including Vanderbilt, UCLA, Michigan State, Ohio State, and others.

The organization's core technology layer is the SportsEngine Sports Relationship Management (SRM) platform, which powers the website, online registration, scheduling, payment processing, and member communications across all programs. Supporting integrations include YouCanBookMe for court-rental scheduling, Hometown Ticketing for league match ticketing, Sporty/SportNGIN for registration and payment processing, Google Forms for player inquiries and training requests, Google Sheets for master scheduling, and University Athlete plus NCAA Eligibility Center for recruiting workflows. There is no proprietary technology development; the stack is entirely composed of commercial SaaS tools standard to the youth-sports industry.

TVC's revenue model is composed of annual club dues for travel teams ($1,500-$3,950 depending on age and tier), seasonal league registration ($340-$500), one-time tryout fees ($40), short-cycle camp and clinic fees ($25-$150 per session), private-lesson fees, hourly court rentals, and contributions from community fundraising (Kroger Community Rewards). GTM motion is hybrid: seasonal tryout events drive top-of-funnel registration, a sales-led college recruiting program retains higher-fee families, and community-led school and recreation partnerships feed the league side of the funnel. Financial assistance is offered via scholarships and a Work-to-Play program (concessions, refereeing), and uniforms are billed separately at $50-$200 depending on program. The club is governed by a seven-person board of directors with no parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investment, consistent with its non-profit structure.
