Sumter Juniors

Sumter Jr's goal is to create a learning environment for those wanting to improve their fundamentals and take volleyball to the next level. Being a no-profit club, our goal is simply to give female and male athletes a chance to learn the minor and major specifics of volleyball and experience tournament play. Club volleyball is great for beginners wanting to learn basic fundamentals to upper level players wanting to follow the path to college play. We our proud to say that in our seven years, we have successfully helped many players achieve their goal of playing in college.

We offer teams from ages 10 to 18 and have a program called Sumter Wee's from ages 5 to 9. The biggest misconception we get in our area is that athletes can't play club ball because of cost, or because of basketball or softball. We offer several fundraisers to help with fees, and most of our girls play other sports. We do our best to work around schedules and want to see young athletes have a choice in what sport they want to advance. We hope to keep growing every year, and simply want to improve the level of play in our area and give our girls a chance to compete at any level wanted.
