The 314 Volleyball Club philosophy is to provide a fun and competitive experience in a cost-conscious manner. We give our athletes the tools and guidance they need to become better volleyball players and stronger individuals — on and off the court.
Three foundational goals
These aren't mutually exclusive. Success in one or two of them drives success in the others — and all three shape our camps, clinics, tryouts, scheduling and practice planning.
We build a schedule of local, regional and travel tournaments so different teams get the competition they need — and so the girls get to see other cities and enjoy those trips with their families and teammates.
Strong individual development to help players reach their own goals and take the next step in their volleyball journey as they move from the younger ages through high school — making a high school team, or playing in college.
This is a competitive sport and our goal is to compete for championships. 314 teams have won tournaments and league titles.
Why families choose 314
Competitive club volleyball has a reputation for being expensive and opaque. We decided early that we'd do the competitive part properly and be honest about the cost — one published fee, a sibling discount, and a clear list of what it covers.
Our coaches are the other half of it. Most came up through St. Louis volleyball — CYC, parochial leagues, high school programs, South County and other clubs — and many have been with 314 since the beginning. They're IMPACT and CAP certified, and they stay.
Every age group from 11U through 18U practices with the same expectations: compete hard, get measurably better, and treat teammates and opponents like the sport deserves.

How a season runs
From pre-tryout clinics to the final tournament, here is how the club year usually runs.
Clinics run in June and July leading up to July tryouts for high school age girls.
Clinics for younger girls run in August, September and October, leading up to their October tryouts.
The season usually begins in November and runs until early May.
Teams that qualify for nationals can continue playing as late as early July.
Open gyms are the easiest way to meet our coaches and see how we run a court. Bring knee pads and questions.
