Coastal Volleyball Club

What Coastal Volleyball Club does

Coastal Volleyball Club Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 1991 by Dave Peixoto in New Bedford, Massachusetts, that operates a tiered youth volleyball development program for players ages 3 through 18 across southeastern New England. The organization is a direct member of USA Volleyball and a Board member of the New England Region Volleyball Association (NERVA), and it exclusively participates in USA/NERVA sanctioned events while adhering to SafeSport, background check, and coach education standards. Its product portfolio comprises eight distinct offerings: a National Level Program for 14U-18U college-prep athletes ($2,250-$2,450), a Regional Level Program for 12U-13U ($1,500), a Club Level Program ($1,200), a Clinic Program for ages 13-18 ($700), the Coastal Shrimps youth program for ages 4-12 ($450-$525), the Summer Sand Program at Burgo Basketball Complex in Dartmouth ($375-$450), a USA/NERVA membership pass-through ($15-$60), and a Coastal Store merchandise channel powered by First To The Finish.

The club delivers training across three physical venues — Normandin Middle School in New Bedford as the primary practice facility (81 Felton St), Forekicks Taunton for National Level tryouts, and Burgo Basketball Complex in Dartmouth for the summer sand program. Go-to-market is community-led, with player acquisition driven by seasonal tryouts (summer and fall), word-of-mouth referrals, and community outreach within the regional youth sports ecosystem. The leadership team comprises Founder/Director Dave Peixoto (also NERVA Commissioner/Executive Director and USA Volleyball Board RVA Rep), Co-Director Tara Costa (Fairhaven HS Varsity Volleyball Coach, 18 years coaching), and Co-Director Nicole Pike (Fairhaven HS Freshman Coach, NERVA All-Star Program Manager), supported by an extended bench of approximately 30+ coaches across all programs. Verifiable program outcomes include two alumni selected to the 2015 New England Midnight Riders professional team, a MA State Championship in 2009, and the club's first Wicked Good Tournament medal in 2023.

Coastal operates as a private non-profit with no public listing, no funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and no subsidiaries. Its business model is fundamentally subscription-recurring: annual seasonal program registrations collected via leagueapps.com, layered with pass-through federation membership fees and a minor merchandise transaction-fee stream. The technology stack is intentionally minimal — registration runs on a third-party SaaS, marketing is organic social plus a content website (coastalvb.com), and there is no proprietary software, AI/ML, or API layer. The strategic posture is regional defensiveness through federation affiliation and coaching pedigree rather than geographic or product-line expansion beyond southeastern New England.
