Hello RVJ Family!

We are so excited to announce that we will start small group beach practices for all RVJ athletes. If anyone who did not participate with RVJ wants to partake, please purchase an AAU membership and pick RVJ as your club.

To participate in our beach practices, your athletes will need to sign up for a practice slot. We are only able to have a certain number of athletes at each practice. Click on the Bold Text below to be taken to the website.

Save Your Spot

RVJ administration has taken the time to write some new COVID-19 policies that are based on the CDC's, AAU, and USAV recommendations for the safety of our staff, players, and families. There will be a link for the document below, along with a liability waiver for each athlete to have filled out before they participate in any kind of RVJ practices.

We are trying to get the athletes interested in the beach side of volleyball. This year we would like to try to put together some teams that would travel to Virginia Beach, Lynchburg and to North Carolina for about 4-5 tournaments during the months of April-June. We are looking for ages 14-18!

We are having an interest meeting March 8th at BHS at 2:45pm. We will hand out a tentative tournament and practice schedule.

As members of USAV, AAU, & the JVA, all of RVJ's coaches are at a minimum USAV IMPACT certified, have completed AAU's Positive Coaching Alliance training (PCA), and the United States Olympic Committee's SafeSport child safety program. Additionally, each coach is cleared through background screening from each of those governing bodies.
