About WPVBC

Woodland Park Volleyball Club (WPVBC) is dedicated to helping Woodland Park, Colorado; athletes achieve their volleyball goals and aspirations. All the programs are designed to help each player understand the game of volleyball and develop the skills to compete at the middle and high school levels. WPVBC is led by high school and middle school coaches, WPHS volleyball alumni, and parents, which partners with Woodland Park School District to instill work ethic, leadership and teamwork among our athletes. 

The Club offers the expertise of some of the best coaches in the Woodland Park area. All the coaches are devoted to making each player the best they can be. Many former players with high school, college, and post-college playing experience. A number of the coaches have also coached in middle school, high school and college programs. 

WPVBC allows each player to learn and apply new techniques in practice and competition. We have fun while learning, practicing, and playing in tournaments. 

Each team within the Club is limited to 9-12 players at the director's discretion; to ensure adequate coaching and playing time. Teams will have one head coach and one assistant. The commitment of the players is crucial to the team and the Club. All players are expected to participate in each practice and competition. The final number of teams depends on the number of players trying out and the number of coaches available to coach a team. 

The club season starts in November and continues through April. A typical season can be described as 1-2 months of practice followed by 2-4 months of tournaments and practices. During the tournament season, each team will try to get into two tournaments each month, with a total of 4-8 tournaments a season.

From Howard Lau, WPVBC Founder: The Woodland Park Volleyball Club began in 2012 as a way to introduce the Woodland Park community to the Club Volleyball world.  Watching and coaching my daughter’s Park and Rec and middle school teams I saw the potential for a competitive club.  With the cooperation of the school coaches and the school board we were able to establish a great team.   I am grateful to the families and girls that stayed with the club from Freshman to Senior year and turned it into a team that challenged at every tournament.  I was especially proud when our tiny club would knock off the big clubs from Denver or Boulder.  We were the “short” team that kept beating them! Now, I’m excited with the new group of girls playing for WPVBC.  I see a bright future for WPVBC.
