Venom Grassroots is our learn-to-play team where we focus on fundamental skills, correct form/position, serving, teamwork, rules/strategy of the game and most importantly, FUN! Our job is to inspire your players to want to come back every week and learn more about the sport of volleyball! We do not require any previous exposure to the sport before signing up.
While learning about volleyball, your player will also learn about friendship and teamwork, accountability, self-confidence, and respect for themselves and others.
We practice 2x/week from December through mid- to late April. We schedule friendship scrimmages with other grassroots clubs within driving distances (no overnight stays) to give our team an opportunity to play against other teams in a setting that gives an example of what a club tournament would look like in a relaxed rules environment.
Our Grassroots players go onto play on their middle and high school teams and within the older age groups within Venom. If you're looking for a volleyball home that will grow with you at all levels, you found the right place!

During these times, many are probably ordering lots via Amazon, as are we. With that, it would be great and super appreciative if others ordering from Amazon would remember to choose Venom on Amazon Smile.
