SEND ME VA

Welcome to Send Me Volleyball Academy!

Dear Parents,

We are excited to introduce you to Send Me Volleyball Academy, a club built on the values of hard work, merit-based play, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Whether your child is just beginning their volleyball journey or is a seasoned player with dreams of pursuing a college scholarship, we are here to guide them toward reaching their full potential.

At Send Me Volleyball Academy, we make a promise to every player who joins us: we are committed to helping and training every child the right way, with a human touch and genuine care. We are ready to teach this simple yet powerful sport that only requires a will to learn, a ball, a net, and guidance from passionate coaches who love the game. We guarantee an authentic, enriching experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

Our goal is to be the premier training hub in Southern Alabama and eventually across the Southern United States. We believe that volleyball is more than just a sport—it is a way to develop life skills, build character, and open doors to future opportunities.

Our Teaching Philosophy: Play Based on Merit

Our approach is simple: playing time is earned. We foster a competitive yet supportive environment where athletes can grow both on and off the court. We emphasize hard work, dedication, and progress. By focusing on merit-based play, we prepare our athletes for the realities of life, where hard work and perseverance lead to success.

Scholarship Opportunities for Boys and Girls

As part of our commitment to our athletes' futures, we actively help players pursue scholarships at the collegiate level. Our coaching staff works diligently to prepare athletes for visibility by scouts and recruiters, helping them stand out in the competitive world of college volleyball. We want every player—whether boys or girls—to have the opportunity to secure scholarships and take their game to the next level.

Local and Travel Teams

For the upcoming season, local teams will participate in 6 tournaments, while our travel teams will attend up to 8 tournaments. We believe in keeping the core of our training within the practice sessions, which is the most important aspect of a player's development. Tournaments are the fun part, but the foundation is built during practice. The journey of learning volleyball is long, and we will never stop reinforcing the basics, regardless of the level.

Uniforms are included in the registration fee, ensuring all athletes are equipped and ready for competition.

Boys' Volleyball: Growing the Game in Alabama Schools

We are proud to be part of a larger movement advocating for boys' volleyball in schools across Alabama. Currently, boys' volleyball is not widely available in the state's public school system. Send Me Volleyball Academy is part of an organized group working closely with school districts, administrators, and sports advocates to push for the implementation of boys' volleyball in Alabama schools. This effort is part of a national campaign to expand boys' volleyball in 20 other states that have yet to adopt it as a school sport.

We are committed to giving boys in Alabama the same opportunities to play volleyball that girls currently have. Through continued effort and support from parents, schools, and organizations like ours, we are optimistic that we will soon see boys' volleyball thriving in schools across the state and the nation.

National Support and Leadership for Boys' Volleyball

We are excited about the new leadership at USA Volleyball. The newly appointed CEO brings years of experience as the former coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team, which recently won a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Under his guidance, and with the increasing support for men’s volleyball, we believe the sport will continue to grow and gain the same recognition that women’s volleyball has achieved.

The success of the men's team at the Olympics, despite fewer resources and attention than the women’s team, highlights the incredible potential of men’s volleyball in the U.S. The women’s team earned a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, demonstrating that both programs are on track to join the world’s elite. We believe that with the right focus, boys' volleyball can grow into an equally powerful force in the country.

Thank You for Trusting Us With Your Athlete

We are honored to have the opportunity to train your child. At Send Me Volleyball Academy, we view every athlete as the future of the sport. We are dedicated to providing the tools and environment for them to excel as players and individuals. We believe that volleyball can be a cornerstone of a child’s youth and, for some, even a lifelong passion that leads to new opportunities and success in adulthood.

Whether your child dreams of playing at the collegiate level or simply want to experience the joy and discipline of volleyball, we are here to support them every step of the way. Together, we can grow the future of volleyball in Alabama and beyond!

Thank you for being part of our community.
