Louisiana Volleyball Club
Our Mission:
The purpose of the Louisiana Volleyball Club (LVC) City Volleyball Program is to fund inner-city girls’ volleyball clubs formed for the benefit of those who wish to achieve excellence in the sport of volleyball. The program seeks to use the sport of volleyball as a means to teach members not only the skills of the sport, but also to teach self-confidence, encourage the pursuit of personal excellence, promote competitiveness, foster teamwork and develop leadership skills that go beyond athletics into every aspect of the members’ lives. The clubs also encourage and help well-rounded, outstanding athletes pursue higher education.
History:
