WHAT MAKES OUR CLUB DIFFERENT?
Our club is different in many ways and it all starts with our culture. Our culture has been developed around one main thing...and it’s not volleyball. We’ve developed a culture inside of our gym that makes every athlete feel like they belong, that they are important, and like they are loved. We truly cherish our opportunity to help our athletes get better at life, not just volleyball. Competitive & intense, but one large family! We are more than just a volleyball club!

- COMPETITIVE TEAMS - Pioneer Valley Juniors quickly established itself as one of the top clubs in New England winning back-to-back NERVA Girls 18 Open Championships in our first two years. Our Open Level Teams consistently finish in the Top 10 in New England and highest in Western Mass EVERY YEAR SINCE 2009 among all age groups.
- EXPOSURE - Our teams travel and compete at very high level tournaments that are typically attended by college coaches. While no one can guarantee a scholarship, you aren’t going to be “found” if you’re not playing where the coaches can see you!
- LEADERSHIP - Pioneer Valley Juniors prides itself on professional conduct and great decision making keeping the players, coaches, teams, and club’s best interest at heart. PV Juniors and USA Volleyball require background screenings and SafeSport Training for all member adult affiliates with our Junior Teams, Referees and Tournament Staff. These background checks are very strict to ensure that your child is around safe and upstanding role models.
- Location! Location! Location! - Since we serve ALL four counties of Western Massachusetts and Northern CT, practices are held at various gyms up and down Interstate 91. Last year we held practices and trainings at Elms College (Chicopee), Frontier Regional (Deerfield), American International College (Springfield), Smith College (Northampton), Springfield Commonwealth Academy (Springfield), Westfield High School (Westfield), Indoor Action Sports (Greenfield), Sunderland Elementary (Sunderland), and School Street Park (Agawam).
- AT HOME WORK - Take home skills and drills to improve your volleyball skills. To be great you have to train on your own, but most players do not know how to do that. We give you skills and drills you can work on every day when no one is watching! PLUS, access to our video library with 1000's of videos! This is how you will become GREAT! There is no substitute for hard work!
- COLLEGE RECRUITING - Do you know the process for being recruited in college? Do you know the requirements of the NCAA Clearing House? Do you know what college coaches are looking for in the players they recruit? You will if you attend one our recruiting seminars.
- FUN! - Above all, PV Juniors is FUN!! Many of our players now have best friends that attend other schools that they would have never met if they had not played PV.
