HISTORY OF THE ESSEX VOLLEYBALL CLUB

We know there are many clubs out there to choose from, but no one can provide the level of instruction that we provide at Essex Volleyball Club. ·Our coaches are trained by some of the best coaches in the country.· Players will receive a solid foundation of the fundamental skills and then learn to transfer these skills to the game.

What separates us from the other clubs is our top down management style.· All levels are being taught the same mechanics and methods and run many of the same drills. This leads to consistency within the club.· We are not a club that teaches the current or latest fads.· Our teaching is based on sound fundamental principles.· If you want to become a better volleyball player you must become mechanically proficient.· We feel that we are the best around at teaching the mechanics of the game.

The South Orange Maples Volleyball Club was founded back in 1978 by Mr. Eugene Chyzowych former volleyball coach at Columbia High School. The Maples was initially founded to keep the members of the Columbia High School Volleyball Team training year round.

Due to this training the Columbia High School Volleyball Team was the most dominant team in the State during the 1970’s through the 1990’s. In the 1990’s the Maples opened their doors to other neighboring schools in the area to give other girls a chance to train year round. In 2000 the club expanded into the Bergen County area and the Essex Volleyball Club was founded to incorporate both the Maples and Essex Volleyball teams under one club name.

Distinguishing itself as one of the oldest programs in the State the Maples have enjoyed a rich tradition of success in training high school volleyball players
