U18 Club Team 25/26
Where Faith Fuels the game
FCA Volleyball Club is about a renewed approach to supporting our athletes (heart, mind, body) that leads to confidence. Confidence grows when Christ leads the way.
Our U18 team is a powerful blend of leadership, legacy, and Christ‑centered character. With eight seniors, three collegiate‑bound athletes, and four Huddle Leaders, this group represents the heart of FCA Volleyball—faithful, hardworking, uplifting, and deeply connected.
This team carries the history of FCA Volleyball Club itself. Four players from the program's original launch continued to lead with maturity, joy, and commitment, setting the tone for everyone who follows. Their presence has shaped a culture where athletes feel seen, supported, and inspired.
The U18 athletes balanced extracurriculars, volunteering, jobs, academics, and high‑level volleyball, modeling what it means to lead with discipline and integrity. Their season reflects not only athletic excellence but also spiritual and personal growth.
This team is known for being uplifting, encouraging, caring, and fun—a group that celebrates each other’s victories and carries each other through challenges. Their bond is strengthened through shared experiences that go far beyond the court:
- NEQs tournament memories that pushed them to compete at a higher level
- Team dinners filled with laughter and connection
- Pottery class that brought out creativity and joy
- Clip decorating sessions that became a tradition of unity
- Tournament weekends that turned teammates into lifelong friends
These moments shaped a team culture rooted in friendship, faith, and genuine love for one another.
The U18 team embodies everything FCA Volleyball stands for—faith, leadership, legacy, and love for the game. Their season reflects years of growth, countless memories, and a commitment to uplifting one another. As they step into new chapters, they leave behind a legacy of courage, unity, and Christ‑centered impact that will continue shaping FCA Volleyball for years to come.
U15 Club Team 25/26
Rooted in Joshua 1:9, our U15 team plays with courage, unity, and an unshakeable belief that God is with them in every moment—on and off the court.
This U15 group is a story of growth, grit, and God‑centered confidence. Most athletes stepped into club volleyball for the very first time this season, learning the game together, pushing through challenges, and discovering just how much they’re capable of when they trust the process and each other.
Their journey has been marked by resilience—from mastering new skills to battling through tough matches, including an unforgettable comeback from a 10‑point deficit that showed their heart, discipline, and refusal to quit. That moment became a turning point, proving that courage isn’t just a verse they memorize; it’s something they live out.
Beyond volleyball, this team has built lifelong friendships grounded in encouragement, laughter, and shared purpose. Team bonding events, service projects, and volunteering have shaped a culture where athletes learn to lead, serve, and support one another.
They show up for each other. They grow together. They honor Christ in how they compete, how they treat others, and how they carry themselves.
U13 Club Team 25/26
Our U13 team is a joyful, determined, fast‑growing group of young athletes—some stepping onto a volleyball court for the very first time, including our youngest player at just 9 years old. Their season has been defined by courage, curiosity, and a willingness to learn together in a Christ‑centered environment.
With no prior club or organizational experience, these athletes began the year as beginners and quickly transformed into a confident, competitive team. Their exponential growth showed in every practice, every tournament, and every moment they chose to push through challenges. That growth wasn’t just visible—it was remarkable, leading them to make the playoffs twice in their very first season.
This team embodies what it means to step out in faith, try something new, and discover the joy of improving day by day.
The U13 team didn’t just learn volleyball—they built friendships that feel like family. Their bond grew through shared experiences both on and off the court:
- Escape room adventures that strengthened teamwork and communication
- Clip decorating sessions where creativity and laughter took center stage
- Tournament bonding moments that turned long days into cherished memories
These experiences shaped a team culture full of encouragement, joy, and unity.
