Frequently asked questions
The questions parents and athletes ask most often. The full list is on the FAQ page.
What age groups and skill levels do you train?
We offer regional teams from 12s to 18s, so athletes compete at the level that fits them. Development clinics and camps are open to athletes before and between club seasons. Our 2026-27 season is built around girls' teams, and we'd love to add boys' volleyball. As soon as there's enough interest, we'll form a boys' team. It can start at any point in the year and will be a local team focused on player development.
What governing body is the club affiliated with?
Club volleyball in our region is sanctioned through the Columbia Empire Volleyball Association (CEVA), the USA Volleyball region for Oregon and south-west Washington. We also take part in AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) and JVA (Junior Volleyball Association) events. Academy Nuʻu is a CEVA member club.
