Dunes Volleyball Club Review

With the motivation to give club volleyball a makeover director Rick Ashmore created the Dunes Volleyball Club in 1989.

In 21 years, Dunes VBC has produced an impressive number of junior volleyball players who've gone on to continue playing volleyball in higher education institutions. For 2010 players have signed letters of intent to attend West Point Academy, Bethel College, Saint Francis College, University of Indianapolis, Trine University, St. Francis University, and Indiana State University.

The Dunes Volleyball Club practices are in eight different locations with the primary location held at the impressive Dunes Operation Center located in Rolling Prairie, Indiana and also serves as the site for the Dunes May Classic. With over 60 teams in all age brackets the 2010 May Classic will be on Saturday May 15 and Sunday May 16.

Speaking of tournaments, the various Dunes elite volleyball team players garner significant experience playing from January to June in the Lake Michigan Power League and traveling to volleyball tournaments all over the country including the President's Day Tourney in Bloomington, IL, the Indy Juniors Classic and Team Indiana Classic in Indianapolis, Sports Performance in Aurora, Wisconsin Dells Invitational, Best of America in Kalamazoo, Michigan, National Junior Classic in Aurora, the Sports Performance President's Day Tournament in Schaumberg, the Team Indiana Exposure Event, the Sports Performance National Junior Classic, the MVA Showcase in Grand Rapids and of course everyone's at the AAU Nationals in Orlando Florida.

Dunes VBC has grown into a very large junior volleyball program, which this year in the elite team category hosts four 18s, two 17s, three 16s, four 15s, four 14s, three 13s, two 12s and one 11s volleyball teams that have coaches with significant experience playing the game and also coaching on the high school level.

In the Dunes local and regional category the club sponsors five 17s, four 16s, two 15s, thirteen 14s, three 13s, six 12s, one 11s and two 10s volleyball teams. Dunes offers the local team volleyball option to athletes not yet ready to make a six-month commitment to volleyball and who often play other sports that keep them from six-month volleyball participation. These teams "play five play dates and practice once a week and then either practice or play on Sunday."

2010 Summer High School volleyball camps are held in July. For varsity, junior varsity and freshmen teams. The cost per team is very economical and hasn't changed in a couple of years which probably explains why in 2009 over 25 schools with 65 teams participated. Teams camps are three sessions-a-day and team drills against other teams, controlled scrimmages and tournament play is what participants can expect.
