Virginia Elite Volleyball Club

What Virginia Elite Volleyball Club does

Virginia Elite Volleyball Club, founded in 2005 and based at The Madeira School's Hurd Sports Center in McLean, Virginia, is a private, independently operated youth volleyball organization that fields age-grouped travel teams from 12s through 18s under the Chesapeake Region Volleyball Association (CHRVA) and USA Volleyball. The core program is the Club Travel Program, in which athletes compete regionally and nationally from November through May/June, supported by a dedicated Recruiting Director (President Jason Kozak) and an integrated SportsRecruits platform that has delivered a 100% college placement rate over 17+ years across Division I, II, III, NAIA, and NJCAA programs. The 2024-2025 (20th) season produced 30 top-5 and 47 top-10 tournament finishes across all seven teams, a Top-25 USAV Nationals finish (17s), and a 3rd-place USAV Nationals finish (18s).

The product surface extends well beyond travel team rosters. Year-round ancillary offerings include a Summer Program of position-specific clinics, a Winter/Spring Training Academy (4-week sessions capped at 15 athletes), Fall Prep Sessions and Skills Clinics open to non-club athletes, a Fall Middle School Academy & League for grades 6-8 (Year 2 in 2025 with weekly redrafts), and three proprietary position academies — the Setting Academy, Serve Receive Academy, and the Swing Lab (built on PowerCore 360 certified equipment). Pricing is published per session: $75 tryouts, $175 for Winter/Spring and Setting sessions, $215 for Swing Lab, and $750 for the 8-week Middle School program; club travel fees are not publicly disclosed.

Revenue mechanics combine annual club travel team memberships (the primary recurring stream), per-session academy fees, and one-time tryout registration, with athlete acquisition driven by community-led open sessions, word-of-mouth referrals, website/social channels, and direct email. Operational organization is small (11 listed employees, 40+ coaches largely contractor-based) and the entity is board-governed with no disclosed venture or institutional capital.
