Eastside Volleyball Club

17U Warriors!

16U Thunder!

Reminder….sand starts Friday!

Coach Todd Kielion will once again run our sand volleyball this summer.

Details are as follows:

How much does it cost? $3 for each person for each individual day. Play as much or as little as you want.

When? Fridays - 8:30 to 10:30 am and Sundays - 5:30 - 7:30 pm

Where? Peoria River Plex sand courts

Bring a partner (parents, guy, or girl) to play with. Sand volleyball is a great opportunity to improve ball handling, communication, movement, and overall volleyball IQ while getting extra touches in a fun and competitive environment. It is also excellent conditioning and helps develop all-around skills that transfer directly to the indoor volleyball game. You can text Todd if you have any questions at (309) 224-3247.

First day of Sand VB will be Friday June 5, 2026 - 8:30 - 10:30 am and it will run until July 31, 2026.

As Todd always says...."Can't get better if you don't play!"

I am posting this for the IVCA (Illinois Volleyball Coaches Association). They are a great partner with Junior Volleyball. This clinic has a nice agenda of coaches sharing.

Eastside Volleyball Club followers we are trying to determine if we will have enough teams to hold our summer tournament scheduled for July 18-19, 2026 at the Peoria River Plex. The cost is $300 per team. Each team is guaranteed 6 matches over the weekend. We will have Freshman, Soph /JV, and Varsity divisions.

Please talk with your coaches about getting a team together. If interested please send an email to [email protected] or can text at (309) 635-4179.
