Empire Girls Club Programs
We are thrilled to deliver a comprehensive program for athletes to achieve their potential, showcase their talents against the best competition in the country, and have the tools to succeed at the next level!
The Empire Girls Program is divided into four programs: National, Power, Regional, and Juniors.
What is Club Volleyball?
Club volleyball provides athletes of all skill levels the opportunity to develop their game through structured training and competitive play. Empire Volleyball Club offers a variety of competitive team options designed to help players reach their individual goals while fostering a love for the sport.
Empire teams compete in events sanctioned by USA Volleyball (USAV), the Junior Volleyball Association (JVA), and the West Coast Volleyball Association (WCVBA). USAV and JVA are the nation's leading organizers of junior volleyball competitions, each culminating in prestigious national championship events. WCVBA serves as Northern California's premier regional league, featuring many of the area's top clubs and providing consistent, high-level competition throughout the season.
National & Power Travel
National and Power Travel teams are designed for athletes who are passionate about volleyball and committed to competing at the highest level available to them. These teams require a significant investment of time, effort, and dedication, making volleyball a primary extracurricular activity.
Practices begin in November following the conclusion of the high school season. Teams train three times per week and compete in regional and travel tournaments throughout the season, which typically concludes in May or June.
Regional Travel
Regional Travel teams are an excellent option for athletes seeking a competitive club experience with a more balanced time commitment. These teams provide quality training and competition while allowing players to maintain greater flexibility for other activities.
Practices begin in November following the high school season, with teams training twice per week beginning in January. Regional teams compete in one to two tournaments per month through May, with most events taking place within the Bay Area.
Juniors
Juniors teams (U9, U10, and U11) provide an excellent introduction to competitive volleyball for young athletes. Designed specifically for beginning players, these teams focus on skill development, teamwork, and fostering a love for the game in a fun and supportive environment.
Teams practice regularly and compete in monthly or bi-monthly tournaments from February through early May. The Juniors program utilizes age-appropriate rules, net heights, and volleyballs to ensure athletes can learn and succeed while building proper fundamentals. Through progressive training and competition, players develop their skills, gain confidence, and establish a strong foundation for future volleyball opportunities.
