Where the journey begins - building a strong foundation is our number one priority.
In the TAV Houston Developmental Program, success starts with the basics. Designed specifically for new and developing players, our program introduces athletes to volleyball in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate environment. In our Tots Program, our youngest players learn the fundamentals through active, game-based instruction that keeps training enjoyable while building essential skills and confidence. In our Volleys Program, as athletes progress, they will move into more structured training focused on learning the game, understanding team concepts, and refining fundamental techniques. For players interested in taking the next step, our Club Prep program provides advanced instruction and competitive preparation designed to help athletes transition successfully into club volleyball. Club Prep players will compete in tournaments against other Club Prep teams and surrounding programs. Through expert coaching and a positive learning environment, players develop the skills, knowledge, and passion for the game that will serve them for years to come.
