Northfield Volleyball Club

Thank you, NVC players, parents, and coaches for a great season!

For those entering grades 4 -8, look for information on the fall NVC season sometime in July. In the meantime, there are many summer volleyball camps offered by many different organizations. There are camps right here in Northfield offered through Northfield Community Education, which are run by the varsity coach and high school players. 

Elizabeth Larson and the Northfield Volleyball Coaching Staff will be hosting a Community Volleyball Meeting:

Monday, April 24 7:30-8:30 @ Northfield Middle School

Information will be shared about:

Local Summer Volleyball Camps

Open Gyms

Weight Training - offered through Cannon Strength

Fall Team Programming

Northfield High School Volleyball Gear Orders

The presentation will be geared for Youth and Middle School athletes from 7:30-8:00. High School information will be covered from 8:00-8:30.

Newly hired Northfield High School varsity volleyball coach Elizabeth Larson has set a community informational meeting regarding volleyball programming for all ages on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, 7 - 8 pm at the Northfield Middle School cafeteria. All ages are welcome - she states that she will have information for children as young as kindergarten who are interested in volleyball. This is not a required NVC activity, but certainly anyone planning to tryout for high school volleyball in the fall of 2023 is highly encouraged to attend. Meeting is for parents and players.

We are looking forward to seeing you at tryouts! Please bring the liability waiver and a non-refundable $30 tryout fee. Checks should be made out to NVC. Players will not be allowed to tryout without: 1) online registration complete; 2) $30 tryout fee; and 3) signed liability waiver.  Please also bring clean shoes to change into (do not wear into the school), knee pads, and water bottle.

REGISTRATION is now closed.

Each play date or tournament we enter has an associated fee. The fees range from $100-500 (that would be for 2-day tournaments). This is the largest expense for each team. We also pay our coaches for their time, and we try to do so with an eye to the “going rate” for the area to attract and keep quality coaches. Other expenses: insurance for each team, practice facility rental (yes, the school district charges us to use their facilities!), jerseys, equipment purchase/replacement, website maintenance (including Sports Engine), Secretary of State/tax expenses. The Northfield Volleyball Club is a non-profit organization. Please know that we do our best to use the funds wisely!
