13/Under Boys Volleyball
THE GROWTH OF BOYS VOLLEYBALL WITH EXCELL SPORTS
For years, Excell Sports has been attempting to grow the boys side of the volleyball game. Whether it has been hosting tournaments where the young male enthusiasts could participate, offering samples of both the grass and sand games to the males, conducting private one on ones for the males, and/or networking with other clubs and programs to help encourage the growth of the male volleyball games, Excell Sports has been gradually ramping up for an all-male indoor club volleyball program.
In the fall of 2021, and by combining forces with Homeschool Athletics Association of Boys Volleyball (Guardians), male Coaches from North Greenville University, Greer High School and Chapman High School, as well as resources and shared passions, we were able to facilitate 2 all-male indoor club volleyball teams for the 2021 - 2022 Indoor Club Volleyball Season: a 18/U Varsity team and a 1/U Junior Varsity team.
For the 2022 - 2023 season, we had over 70 males from Spartanburg, Anderson, Easley, Greenville, Simpsonville and Chapin make up our 6 ALL-MALE Travel Teams and one 12/Under Team!!
