With a constant eye on possible future club coaches and a firm commitment to promote present college-bound prospects, Coast Volleyball Club's mission holds a lot of promise and possibility for the players who come through its doors.

The A, B, Cs or in this case A, B, Ds of the Coast Volleyball Club philosophy are promoted and clarified in "The Before, During and After of Club Volleyball."

1. To establish an environment where dedicated coaches and supportive parents help young athletes to realize their full potential in the sport of volleyball.
2. To set the standard for quality in teaching, administration and professional responsibility
3. To prepare and then promote athletes for college and their next level aspirations for volleyball.
4. To cultivate pride and tradition in the program by creating a place where athlete will return to play after their high school years and develop into the new teachers of the sport.

Coast offers five types of club volleyball team programs for 2009-2010: elite, regional, local and leapfrog.

Elite - In the 2008-9 season Coast had five elite teams qualify for the Junior Olympics. These teams are travel teams for high school players that practice usually between eight to ten times a month and compete in the Southern California Volleyball Association Junior Olympic qualifier and all regional events. Players who are on the elite travel teams represent Coast by participating in the Junior Olympic qualifiers or the Volleyball Festival.

Coast VBC elite teams include two 18s, two 17s, three 16s, three 15s, three 14s, two 13s, and one 12s.

Regional - Regional teams compete against all the volleyball club teams in Southern California, an ideal option for families with junior players looking for a lower cost program that still provides the experience of traveling and playing against top competition. With 8 practices a month, Coast had 10 regional volleyball teams in 2008-2009. The following age brackets have regional teams this year: 16s (three), 15s (four), 14s (one), 13s (three), and 12s (two).

Local - Local "non-traveling" teams offered to volleyball players, usually 16 and younger as a launch pad for high school volleyball team and future travel team participation. Players practice eight times a month and compete in all six local volleyball team tournaments which are held in San Diego County. This year there's one 12s and two 14s local teams.

Leapfrog - Designed for beginners and younger volleyball players in third to eighth grade, Leapfrog was created with the intention of providing a stimulating, fun environment in which young players begin to develop proper technique and skills needed to advance to the higher levels of the volleyball game. Leapfrog participants do not tryout but they have eight practices, every Sunday for two hours and they compete in six tournaments held in San Diego County. The program runs from January to the end of May. In 2008 - 2009 Coast had five Leapfrog Teams and they typically produce two 12s, two 11s and two 10s teams.

Coast VBC offers its players, assistance in the college volleyball recruitment process and to date has placed over 100 volleyball players in college programs. Assistance comes in the form of digital editing and taping services, a dedicated staff interested in promoting Coast's players interests and a recruiting web site providing crucial player information including athletic and volleyball stats, bio, photos and contact data.
