Mission and Philosophy

Memphis Juniors believes deeply in the fundamental, grassroots development of volleyball. Building the sport requires a sustainable bottoms-up effort over time, beginning with the youngest players and working up through high school athletes and beyond. We seek to get players involved at young ages to develop both their love for the sport and solid fundamental skills for later success.

Like many team sports, volleyball is a microcosm for life. However, volleyball is also unique in that every single play requires the successful action of more than just one person; no team can sustainably be successful without a high degree of teamwork. Developing both individual and team skills is therefore very important.

At Memphis Juniors, we seek to provide the best possible volleyball instruction in a fun, competitive, supportive environment. Our mission statement is:

Memphis Juniors trains for a strong fundamental style of play with a competitive and sportsmanlike attitude. We believe in coaching positively. Competitively, we want to be a leader in taking Junior Olympic volleyball in Memphis and the Delta Region to the next level.

We field both competitive/travel and developmental/limited travel teams at nearly every age level to best provide the appropriate training and match play for our athletes.

We have a history of producing athletes who have gone on to play collegiate volleyball and providing the training to take players' skills to the next level, whether for high school varsity teams or beyond. Our long term competitive goal is to win on a sustainable basis at a national level and turn out Division I quality athletes.
