2017-18 Boys Volleyball

The OC Volleyball Club had a great response for our September open gyms, and is pursuing 2 boys volleyball club teams for 2017-18 (one approx HS-aged, one JrH/late Elem age).

We are also hosting 2 additional open gyms for the boys in October:

• October 15 (Sun), 6-8pm, Claremore Rec Center
• October 29 (Sun), 6-8pm, Claremore Rec Center

We still have a few spots left on each team, and would love for any male athletes that are interested to attend our open gyms to give volleyball a try.  Also, always feel free to contact us (info@theocvbclub.com) if interested of if you have any questions.

Be a part of the first boys club volleyball team in Tulsa for the past several years.  More information is available on our website.

The OC Littles

Youth Volleyball Program

New for 2017-18 is The OC Littles, our youth volleyball program.

​

This program is being designed to offer younger kids age-appropriate volleyball activities to both develop skills and knowledge of the sport, as well as a love for it.  With the goal of providing players the right placement and accommodations, players will have the opportunity to learn and enjoy the game of volleyball at an early age.

Players will be introduced to many skills and concepts with a variety of modified drills and equipment specifically developed to help younger players start to learn how to play with good fundamentals.  Some game play will also be included with the program as a way to begin to use what they are learning in a game-type environment.

More information regarding the youth program is available on The Littles website.  No tryouts for The OC Littles will be required, and registration for the program is expected to open in mid-October.
