Club History

The Triad Volleyball Club and the Piedmont Volleyball Club have agreed to work together under the Piedmont Triad Volleyball Club.  When it comes to tradition & success, it is hard to beat the Piedmont Triad Volleyball Club. We are proud of our very competitive program that has been in existence since 1988. The Piedmont Triad Volleyball Club began as Central Carolina Juniors in 1988 with a girls 18s team and a boys 14s team.  Since then, the club has been known as the Quest Volleyball Club. In 1996, in an effort to provide a better experience for their more experienced and committed players the club became the Piedmont Volleyball Club when it affiliated with the CCAVA program in Asheboro, North Carolina and in 1997 when the Rockingham County Volleyball Club program became affiliated.  Those programs have grown to the point that they are stand alone club programs.   Since 1988, the club has qualified a team to compete at the USA Junior National Championships in 11 of those years. Our philosophy focuses on the ability to teach advanced volleyball techniques, as well as to provide numerous competitive opportunities for people in the Piedmont area. The Piedmont Triad Volleyball Club is committed to pursuing excellence in junior volleyball as demonstrated by the competitive record and the performance of our alumni.

Founded by Chuck McCracken, an active member of U.S. Junior Olympic Volleyball on the Regional and National Level, the program has striven to provide an environment of fundamental skill development and solid team competition to players 18 years of age and under.

The Junior Olympic program is designed to establish teams by age and skill categories so that competition is balanced and challenging.  The club is open to boys and girls and each player will be carefully evaluated and placed on a team that closely matches their ability level and age group.

Coaches for Piedmont Triad Volleyball Club are knowledgeable and experienced in the sport.  Several have coached or played on the collegiate level, as well as directed teams who played at the Junior Olympic National level.

Along with teaching the skills of the game, recruiting guidance will also be provided for players who aspire to play on the college level.  Former players from this organization have played in colleges and universities such as Duke, N.C. State, UNC,  Appalachian State University, UNC-A, UNC-G, Davidson, Guilford College, Greensboro College, Catawba, Western Carolina, Emory, George Washington, UNC-Pembroke, Wingate, Grove City, Peace College, Hollins University, St. Andrews and UT Chattanooga.
