Continue ReadingFlorida is rich in both sunshine and volleyball talent. Across the state, players have begun their training for the upcoming 2021 club season. Here are just a few of the best volleyball clubs in the state. These are the clubs to watch; they have the biggest programs, with the best players, and the most college commitments.
OTVA – Orlando Tampa Volleyball Academy – Multiple Locations in FL
For obvious reasons, this tops the list as one of the best clubs in Florida for girls looking to get recruited. OTVA has four locations across the state in Orlando, Tampa, Clearwater, and Jacksonville, and countless teams at each location. Typically, in a given year, they have 20-60 graduating players with college commitments. In general, OTVA is a powerhouse. If the opportunity arises to watch one of their 16-18 USAV teams play, take the opportunity!

JJVA – Jacksonville Juniors Volleyball Association – Jacksonville, FL
Knowing that Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida by population and one of the largest cities by area in the United States, it is easy to imagine that a volleyball club in Jacksonville would also be very large. Not only is JJVA one of the largest clubs in Florida, but it is also one of the best in terms of training and most recruited players. Of their numerous teams, elite players with incredible talent can be seen in any age group.

No Name Volleyball – Spring Hill, FL
Compared to some of the other clubs in Florida, No Name might seem small and unsuspecting. However, inside this club are some of the best players not only in the Tampa Bay area but also in the State of Florida. No Name is a newer club, in comparison, and being that it is new and so dominating already is quite impressive. They received the “Most Improved Club Award” from USAVolleyball in 2019 for the Florida Region. In addition to the indoor USAV club, they also have an extensive beach volleyball program. Many of the players that participate in the USAV indoor club also participate in at least some type of beach practice/competition which allows them a special opportunity for well-rounded skill training. Although there are only a few 2021 graduates that have college commitments, there are still many players that are actively being recruited at this time.
