PARENTS

"Our daughter began playing with the Blazers 3 years ago. Our experience with this club and their coaches has been amazing and we couldn’t ask for better mentors on and off the court. This club and its coaches have instilled so many values in our daughter. Their belief in her and the time they spend making her a better player and person has meant so much to our family. We are so fortunate to be a part of the Blazer family. If you’re looking for a solid volleyball club, look no further. This club and their coaches make such a positive impact in their players’ lives."

"I can’t say enough good things about SVBC! Our time with Sandhills volleyball club wasn’t near long enough! When we met the Director, he immediately became a friend even though our daughter was playing with a different club at the time. When our daughter decided to make a move to SVBC we were welcomed into the family and it was a truly wonderful experience. They treat the players with respect and truly care about their well-being and teach them techniques. When our daughter was offered a chance to play in college, it was proof we had made the right decision by moving to this club. The support didn’t stop after the club did, as there were texts checking with my daughter and us about how the college games went. And the director even came to the college games when he could. The SVBC led to friendships with players and parents that will last a lifetime! I’m so grateful our daughter’s volleyball career led us to SVBC. She’s even a part of the wonderful coaching staff now and will be sharing her memories with future SVBC players in the years to come!

"The first year of club volleyball I didn’t know what to expect. The coaches 110% love the game, but most importantly they love coaching and mentoring the kids. I saw so much improvement in my kid’s skills as well as her team's. I can’t wait to see what improvements are to come after seeing the accomplishments in one season."

"I have been a part of the Sandhills Volleyball Club for the last 5 years. The coaches not only care about the players on the court but off the court as well. I am thankful we made the decision to become a part of the Blazers. This organization helped my daughter become a skilled player. We have spent many hours together at practices, tournaments, and team dinners and have become family. I am also a local high school coach and the growth I have seen in several of my players that played one year of club is remarkable."

"Being a part of the Blazer family has been a blessing. Like a lot of children, when Sierra was younger she was involved in almost every activity possible. She would have dance, gymnastics, and softball practice in the same week and sometimes on the same day. Sierra found herself in volleyball. When my daughter first started playing for SVBC, we had no idea what a huge impact Chris and Calin would have in her life. My daughter has had many coaches in her 17 years, but these guys are more than coaches. Chris and Calin truly care not only about volleyball but about their players. Through the Blazers, I’ve seen my daughter not only love the sport of volleyball but also love a team. Although the players on her team change, she’s been taught to love and support each player as a family. She’s developed a bond with teammates and coaches that will last a lifetime. These guys provide an environment for our girls that generates friendships and eagerness. As parents, we constantly worry about our children. We worry about their health, education, friends, and everything. The Blazers have created a safe space for our girls. I truly can not thank the Blazer family enough for what they have given to my daughter and family."

"My daughter played for Sandhills Volleyball Club her Junior and Senior years of high school. We were welcomed with open arms! Logan had previously played for a club team out of Florence and for whatever reason, this just wasn’t the right fit for her. So she decided to try out for SVBC. This was the best decision we ever made! They made us feel like family. You improve your volleyball skills and have fun doing it at the same time! I could never thank them enough for everything they did for my daughter!! Our only regret is not finding them sooner!

"Sandhills Volleyball Club has been an extremely positive and rewarding experience for both of my daughters. Their love of volleyball and skillset as players has grown tremendously, but more importantly, they have enjoyed being a part of the Blazer family and have made life-long friends with their teammates and coaches. They push each other to succeed and value relationships. The girls are respected by coaches in wins and losses, and all levels are celebrated. My daughters are stronger, more confident girls because of their Blazer experience."

"Blazers volleyball is a family made up of amazing coaches, outstanding girls who love the game and each other, and one-of-a-kind parents! From the first time my girls showed up for tryouts, we knew we made the right choice. The Blazer coaches are there for the girls year-round to be a listening ear or to help figure out why the ball isn’t going where it needs to during school ball. The skills and confidence my girls have gained by becoming part of the Blazer family speak for themselves. #WEAREBLAZERNATION"
