We want to thank you for having an interest in our program.  We think it only fitting to share a few items 
       of interest with you, items that will tell you a little about us.   

       We are entering our sixth season as a girls & boys volleyball club registered with the Southern California 
       Volleyball Association (SCVA) with a staff of well-trained coaches and administrators working hard behind
       behind the scenes.  

       MISSION STATEMENT:

       The goal of Protégé Volleyball Club is to provide excellent training, which will give our players the 
       opportunity to access a higher education through the sport of volleyball. Although we believe in the 
       value of winning accolades and championships, our main focus is to develop the moral and physical 
       character of each individual. Among the attributes we value are discipline, dedication, hard work, 
       integrity, respect and volleyball skills in each player.  By maintaining a steadfast commitment to our 
       focus of developing sound moral character and strong physical skills in the individual, we strive to achieve 
       our desired goal.
