🚨 Big News: Club Team Expansion for the 2025–26 Season!
Volleyballer Training Academy is growing — and we’re excited to welcome even more athletes and families into our community for the upcoming 2025–26 Club Volleyball season! After a successful season of development, training, and local tournament play, we’re expanding our club team offerings to include more teams, more athletes, and more opportunities to train and compete at multiple levels.
🤝 A New Era: Fusion VBC Joins VTA
We’re thrilled to share that Fusion Volleyball Club — a long-standing program in our area — has officially merged with Volleyballer Training Academy. After 15 amazing years, Fusion’s director is retiring, and we’ve been honored to step in to continue serving their athletes and families.
This partnership allows us to grow our club family and offer club teams for athletes ages 13–16, while maintaining the same development-focused, athlete-first environment we're known for. Our club teams will now operate under the name Volleyballer Academy and are a part of USAV, Carolina Region & AAU.
