The Volleyball Club

The Volleyball Club at the State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz, seeks to create a welcoming environment for all players of volleyball, adept to novice levels, to condition and scrimmage together with a common goal of improving individual skill and teamwork. We are working towards becoming a competitive sports club, which would allow our club to compete against other schools’ club teams. The Volleyball Club provides members of our college community to explore an athletic medium that celebrates diversity among other sports, and among the members themselves. It encourages team-building among people of many different levels and backgrounds, securing a strong foundation of community among the members of our organization. We referee ourselves, and learn to trust each other’s judgment. We internalize what it is to empathize with members of our team, as well as the rivaling team by being team players. We support one another through all plays; we encourage our teammates. Volleyball is an exciting, fun way to stay active, and will challenge our members to improve their skill. Members take on these challenges, but are well-aware of their personal physical limitations. The Volleyball Club is open to all members of the SUNY New Paltz community. Players of all levels are welcome to join our organization, and we will work to improve each player’s skill. Our organization has already doubled in size compared to previous semesters, and is continuing to grow. The Volleyball Club meets in Elting Gym, located inside of the Athletic and Wellness Center (AWC) on Friday 7-8:30pm and Saturdays 6:30-8pm.
