WHO ARE WE:

Elk River Youth Volleyball (ERYV) is a non-profit organization.  Our mission is to provide the youth of Elk River and surrounding communities an opportunity to participate in a variety of developmental and competitive volleyball programs. 
As a non-profit organization, we are committed to keeping
the cost of club volleyball affordable while offering a similar experience to other clubs in our area. 



"It's supposed to be hard. 
If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. 
The hard is what makes it great."

Unlike many youth programs, ERYV does not require:

Volunteer hours/checks, additional team slush fund fees, required team apparel or mandatory fundraising.  The fee you pay is your total cost.

Something to think about…

“What role did your parents have in your sports experiences growing up? Did they rush in to solve the problem so that you and they could get what you wanted? OR did they use these occasions to teach you about embracing challenges, teachable moments and adversity? Whenever I had an issue with an adult in my life growing up, my parents constantly put it back on me and what I could control about the situation.”
