Legacy Volleyball Club

What Legacy Volleyball Club does

Legacy Volleyball Club (legal entity: Legacy Volleyball Club VBC, Inc.) is a Bronx, New York-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity founded in December 2011 by Joel Sanchez. The organization delivers year-round volleyball training and competitive club programs to youth athletes primarily ages 5-18 across the Bronx, the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT/PA), and select national tournament circuits, with an explicit mission of expanding access for underserved communities. Operationally, the club has grown from a 12-15 athlete founding cohort at Preston and Lehman High School to serving 31,000+ members cumulatively, sustaining 17 concurrent programs and placing 500+ athletes in collegiate volleyball programs at NCAA D1/D2/D3 and NJCAA levels.

The product surface is a layered youth-development platform anchored by an entry-level funnel (Mini Volley for ages 5-12, VolleyMentals drill program, Summer Camp, Position Camp, Pre-season Power-Prep, Open Gym, Clinics, and seasonal leagues) feeding into tiered club volleyball teams — Regional ($2,000), Premier ($4,000), National (Girls $6,500+; Boys $7,000+ for the 2026-2027 season) — plus a subsidized Metro/Rising tier and college recruiting support services. Underlying technology is third-party SaaS: SportsEngine for member registration, scheduling, and communications, and Hudl for video-based training and performance review. Programs are delivered at the American Turner Club facility (748 Clarence Ave, Bronx) with a secondary summer site in Yorktown Heights.

The business model is a hybrid nonprofit funding structure. Revenue streams comprise club membership dues ($1,000-$7,500 per player per season), summer camp and league fees ($250-$400), private lessons ($145-$205/hour with multi-lesson packages), tournament hosting, and tax-deductible donations and sponsorships (Ponce Bank, Rip-It) channeled via PayPal and an annual gala. Go-to-market is community-based: school partnerships (Iona Prep, Salesian, Preston, Lehman, Roosevelt), the DYCD channel for PSAL clinics, word-of-mouth referrals, hosted tournaments (Spike-Tember Classic, Home for the Summer), and tryout-driven enrollment. Revenue is geographically concentrated in the Bronx with multi-state tournament travel for elite tiers.
