Our Mission
It is the Mission of the OBX Wave Volleyball Club to provide a positive, competitive youth volleyball experience for player, parent and coach. We emphasize long-term player development of physical, emotional and social skills. While winning is an absolute priority in club volleyball, winning will not be placed above good sportsmanship (defined as respecting rules and procedures set forth below, teammates, coaches, officials, opponents and one’s self). It is our goal to create an environment that will benefit the individual as well as the team. You have joined a competitive volleyball program. Competitive team athletics by its very nature creates situations where everyone may not be happy all the time. Team success is intimately linked to individual success. Each player will fill a necessary role on the team. Although some rolls are larger than others, none are insignificant to the overall success of the team. Coaches will discuss and define each role with the individual. Players are encouraged to use practices as an avenue for further developing their skills and expanding their role on the team. Players and parents must understand that the only desire of the coach is to assist the team in reaching its full potential. We can only achieve this by encouraging, acknowledging and supporting each other’s efforts in practice, scrimmages and tournaments.

There is teaching and coaching, and if you have a choice, you’d rather be a better teacher than a coach.– Hugh McCutcheon – former head coach U.S. Women’s and Men’s National Teams
