BOYS CLUB VOLLEYBALL

📅 Tryouts July 5, 2026

We’re excited to expand opportunities for athletes in our community and can’t wait to share more details.

Stay tuned.

☀️ School’s out. Summer Camp is in session. 🏐

Today kicks off Day 1 of our Elite Summer Camp! We’re excited to spend the next four days learning, competing, and having fun.

This week’s camp is officially SOLD OUT! 🔥

If you missed out, be sure to register for our next Summer Camp session July 20–23 before spots fill up. Space is limited and we expect this session to sell out as well.

Let’s have a great week at Elite! 💙❤️

Nationally Qualified. State Recognized. 🔥

From beginner skills classes to nationally qualified teams, Elite is proud to offer opportunities for athletes at every level of the game.

Florida is one of the most competitive volleyball states in the country, with only:
🏐 14% of 13U teams earning bids
🏐 9% of 15U teams earning bids
🏐 5% of 16U teams earning bids
🏐 13% of 17U teams earning bids to USAV Nationals

This season, Elite earned 4 USAV National bids across those age divisions while also having multiple teams finish ranked among the Top 18 teams in Florida.

Whether an athlete is just beginning their volleyball journey or competing on the national stage, our mission remains the same: develop athletes, build confidence, and create a culture families are proud to be part of.

The comeback is official. 👀🔥
After stepping away from coaching last season, Coach Adam quickly realized the game meant too much to stay away for long.

We’re excited to officially welcome Coach Adam back to Elite Volleyball.

With 17 years of coaching experience, multiple National Championship podium finishes, and numerous teams qualified to USAV Nationals, Coach Adam brings a high-level understanding of the game, a disciplined coaching philosophy, and one of the most strategic minds in the gym.

Outside the gym, he’s a proud dad to 3 amazing daughters and enjoys fishing, spending time with his dogs, and making memories with his family.

We’re so excited to have you back, Coach Adam!

Stay tuned… we still have another exciting coaching announcement coming this week, along with our 2026–2027 coaching assignments. 👀🔥

🎓🤍 From Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School to Vassar College — Sophia Ierulli’s journey is just getting started.

Sophia graduates with the highest academic honors after an incredible high school career filled with success both academically and athletically. A President of the Spanish National Honor Society, member of National Honor Society, Class Secretary, President of the Mam’selles Service Club, FHSAA All-Academic honoree, and 2x All-Area selection — Sophia has truly embodied what it means to be a student-athlete.

On the court, she served as team captain, earned four straight Varsity Volleyball MVP honors, and now holds three all-time setting records at Saint Stephen’s.

This fall, Sophia will continue her academic and athletic career at Vassar College, where she plans to major in Political Science and minor in Spanish.

Sophia’s hard work, dedication, and love for the game have led her to this incredible next step, and we could not be more proud to have been a part of her journey.

Thank you for representing Elite with class, leadership, and determination. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things ahead for you at the next level. ❤️💙

There’s something special about earning a bid to the 2026 USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championship. 🏆

Not because volleyball is only about winning — because it’s not.

It’s about the early mornings, the long weekends, the lessons learned, and the friendships these athletes will carry long after their final match. It’s about learning how to lead, how to trust teammates, how to fight through hard moments, and how to grow into strong young women both on and off the court.

“The scoreboard fades, but the memories, friendships, and life lessons last forever.”

Today, we celebrate these teams and the incredible accomplishment they earned through hard work, commitment, and belief in one another.

Congratulations to our 2026 USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championship qualified teams:

🏐 17 National Chad
🏐 16 National Alex
🏐 15 National Nancy
🏐 13 National Chad

We are incredibly proud of every athlete, coach, and family who helped make these moments possible. ❤️💙
