"Sometimes I wonder how it’s such a good deal. We have fun and are just as competitive as the other clubs. And everyone on the team (players and parents) step up when help is needed. I think we all appreciate what we have at DYS." -U15 Parent
WHAT YOU GAIN
Giving Back
Giving back to our community is one of the priorities at DYS. We staff an annual toy-drive at Christmas and host a "Players Giving Back Tournament" where other teams join us in a tournament where the entry fee is food donations! These are just a few examples of where we try to make a difference.
Volleyball Skills
While our coaches volunteer their time for the love of the sport and to make a difference in the lives of local athletes that is not to say that our coaches are not experienced or skilled in their craft. On the contrary, all our coaching cadres are experienced at the club and high school levels, including Head Coaches from Independence, Stone Bridge, Freedom, and Dominion High schools. Over the past several seasons, DYS Club Volleyball teams have consistently placed amongst the top of their respective age groups
Being a good teammate
Being a good teammate by making others around you better is one of the most important aspects of the DYS Culture.

Club/Sister Bonding
This season is the first year we have all of our teams practicing on the same night. It is wonderful to see how the entire club has bonded because of this (as witnessed by the camaraderie during Coaches Abby and Adam’s match at the Richmond Grand Prix.) We also love that sister teams can exchange…
