Mission: At DCVA we have one mission: “Leverage youth Sports to prepare young athletes for adult life”. The lessons that are learned as an individual and as a team player will provide our athletes a head start on dealing with personal challenges throughout their lives. We do this through maintaining strict adherence with our club philosophy of “balance”.

We are committed to teaching the fundamental skills and strategy of volleyball while focusing on discipline, drive, unity, creativity and trust. We strive to provide an atmosphere where our student athletes understand the value of competition and teaming towards a clear goal, giving them the ability to excel on and off the court.

Our club philosophy is simple. Success is a result of confidence, drive, and breadth of knowledge, as well as affording a little patience. Success does not result from a focus on winning. However, winning is surely a result of a focus on success. Our focus is on success. To accomplish this, we focus on the players themselves and on their confidence, drive, and breadth.

We strive to teach through example, many perspectives on leadership, confidence, and humility, and how breadth of skill and balance in life’s priorities are keys to success. We stress the use of creativity and how to accept failure as lessons for success. We strive for a goal of perfect execution of skills, balanced with the creativity to experiment and make mistakes along the way. We encourage drive and dedication, balanced with room for fun and freedom. We encourage our coaches to challenge themselves and strike a balance between the success of each player and the success of each team as a whole. We strive to teach, balanced with our desire to learn.
