South Orange County. Since 2012.

Breakers

Where girls learn the game. And fall in love with it.

A small club
on purpose.

Here is what nobody tells you about club volleyball. Bigger is not better. It just means your daughter is one more name on a longer roster.

We have stayed small since 2012 on purpose. Girls get real reps and a coach who knows their name and their game. More than 28 of them have gone on to make their high school teams.

We are all about competitive volleyball and having a great time doing it. Every team plays a tournament circuit, the 11s in OCVH and the 12s and up in the Southern California Volleyball Association, which opens real doors as the girls get older, from high school ball to college scholarships and national tournaments.

Our pledge

Where players thrive

Thriving is not only about winning. It is a girl who leaves practice a little braver than she walked in.

Every family who joins the Breakers can count on the same five things from us, in every division, all season long.

This is our promise to you and to your daughter.

The record

What a small club adds up to.

28Girls onto their high school teams
2012Coaching girls here since
4Age divisions, 11U to 14U

In the 2022 to 2023 Southern California Volleyball Association Elite championships, our 13U team finished first and our 12U finished second.

First time out

New to
volleyball?

Never played? Perfect. Most of our 11s and 12s are just starting out. No tryout for the youngest players, and no experience needed.

Coach Myers teaches the game from the first serve, and every girl on the court remembers being new once. Come to a practice and see how it feels.

The long game

Where have the Breakers girls gone?

The truest measure of a club is not the trophies. It is where the girls end up. These Breakers players went on to make their high school teams across South Orange County.

We've been so happy with the Breakers program, coaches and the owner. They are a small club with a personal family feeling and quality coaching.

Good to know

Questions
answered

The things families ask most, in one place. Anything not here, just reach out and we will help.

What makes Breakers different?

Small, on purpose. Your daughter is not a number on a big roster. She actually plays, and she gets a coach who figures out what she is good at, then builds on it.

How do I sign my daughter up?

Download your division's season packet, print the last three pages, fill them in and sign, and hand them to Coach Myers at practice, or scan and email them to info@breakersvolleyballclub.com. Want to ask a question first? Send it through the form below.

What divisions do you have?

Right now, 11U, 12U, 13U and 14U. We run two teams at fourteen. A girl can start young and grow up here.

How long are practices, and how often?

Two hours each, three times a week, all season. The 11s and 12s practice Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The 13s and 14s practice Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Does my daughter have to try out?

Returning players do not try out. If she played through the summer program, she keeps her place. New players are placed at a normal practice, October 5th for 13U and 14U, October 6th for 11U and 12U.

Where do you practice?

Home base is Stratford School in Laguna Niguel, on the turf. The 11s and 12s are there all season. The 13s and 14s move to the Laguna Niguel YMCA for two of their three days from mid September.

What does my daughter need to bring?

Water, knee pads and court shoes. No uniform for practice, just comfortable clothes she can move in.

How do dues and payments work?

Dues are the same in every division and split into three payments across the season, so nothing lands all at once. A few one time costs may apply depending on the division. The full amounts and the dates are in your division's season packet.

How do tournament fees work?

Separate from dues, always on their own bill, and only when tournaments come up. The club pays one entry fee per tournament for the team and splits it evenly.

Are dues refundable?

A roster spot is a commitment for the season. Your first payment holds your daughter's place and is non-refundable. Each quarterly payment is non-refundable once that quarter has started.

What if my daughter has to leave partway through?

If she needs to step away for a valid reason, like an injury or a family move, talk to Coach Myers. We will work it out fairly. Keeping the club full is how we keep dues low.

Do the teams travel?

The older teams usually travel once a season, sometimes twice. Lately that has meant Las Vegas and Phoenix. The 11s play their OCVH tournaments locally. Travel and hotels are not included in club fees.

Can I get the schedule on my phone?

Yes. On the Season Calendar, filter to your daughter's team and tap Add these dates to your calendar. Every practice, with its time and venue, plus every tournament and season date, drops into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. Practices repeat weekly, so they set themselves up once and stay put.
