Why Rise?


RISE CULTURE | RISE VIBE | RISE TRIBE

At Rise Volleyball, our mission goes beyond just teaching the game. We’re dedicated to building a culture where challenges are embraced and growth is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it's our players, coaches, or teams, our top priority is fostering an environment that encourages improvement, both on and off the court.

To reach these high standards, we’re always working to create an atmosphere that nurtures growth. From the leadership down to every player, everyone at Rise is fully committed to personal development and helping others rise to their fullest potential. That’s the essence of the “Rise Vibe” and what it means to be part of the “Rise Tribe”—a community where we lift each other up and grow stronger together.

Mission Statement

 The mission of Rise Volleyball Club is to use the sport of volleyball as a vehicle for teaching young athletes how to maximize their potential both on the court and in life. We seek to develop their skills with top-notch instruction, giving them the potential for immediate and future success in the sport. We also seek to mentor and provide an environment that teaches the life lessons that are so available to be learned through sports and competition. The goal is to develop a player’s skills on the volleyball court in tandem with developing them into positive, responsible young athletes. Teaching them how to have a “Growth Mindset” and giving them essential life skills revolving around a solid work ethic, self-discipline and camaraderie is a the forefront of what we do. To learn that hard work and commitment pay off in whatever life’s challenges may bring you, that how you deal with failure is crucial, and that how you treat people, including yourself is instrumental to your success.

Passion for Indoor and Beach Volleyball!

At Rise Volleyball, we’re committed to the growth and development of both Indoor and Beach Volleyball players. While Indoor Volleyball is where most junior athletes start, we’ve also seen a surge in interest for the exciting and dynamic world of Beach Volleyball, especially in recent years.

Rise first launched our Beach Program in March 2015 at our Ventura Club, becoming the first club in Ventura County to offer Beach Volleyball. We had over 50 participants in our inaugural year, and since then, our Beach Program has continued to grow year after year. This year, we’re excited to expand and introduce Rise Beach to Huntington Beach at our new hometown club!

Our dedicated Beach staff brings specialized expertise in the unique demands of Beach Volleyball, ensuring every player gets the focused coaching they need to excel. The Rise Beach Summer Club season runs from May to August, providing players the opportunity to compete in high-level tournaments throughout Southern California.

While Indoor Volleyball remains a core focus at Rise, the skills developed on the beach translate directly to improving Indoor play. With our experienced coaching team and resources, we’re here to help athletes excel in both sports—independently or side by side.

"Whatever your weaknesses are, you are forced to develop them and you learn to read and anticipate much better. Player height is also less important outdoors – ball control and skill is more important. . . . Most top level coaches encourage their players to play as much as they can on the beach. . . .”
