A note from M1:
“At M1 Volleyball we are more than just a team - we are a family. We strive to provide high-level training in a positive, organized and respectful environment. Our "players first" mentality ensures that every athlete feels welcomed, seen and supported. We believe in treating people well, fostering a culture where kids are happy, coaches form lasting friendships, and everyone feels at home. When you step into our gym, you're not just joining a club - you're becoming part of something special.
We are excited to join LOVB and become part of their growing network of clubs. We look forward to the ability to share ideas with other clubs and use the expanded resources and opportunities LOVB offers to make our club even better for our coaches, athletes and their families.”
