Back in 2005 a number of local girls clubs merged together to establish the Niagara Frontier Volleyball Club. The goal was to expand Junior Club volleyball in the Western New York region by offering a greater opportunity for competitive play and an expertly-guided volleyball training experience to provide additional opportunities for players to train and compete at multiple levels of play. Vision from the club’s group of great volleyball minds, guided the organization to exercise a six court facility in November of 2007, which helped to bring the players and staff closer together. Working together on adjacent courts brought about unity across the club and its members.
Niagara Frontier is a community-based organization that believes in providing a solid foundation of fundamental and technical skills to help participants develop as athletes. However, teaching individuals positive, lifelong character traits, including sportsmanship, leadership, and cooperative teamwork, is an essential facet of the club’s commitment to developing the entire athlete.
After operating solely as a girls organization for twelve years, the club added boys teams to the Niagara Frontier family in 2017.
“We have found that the collaboration between our girls, boys and youth coaches have proven to develop high level educational discussions, better practice plans, and an increase in technical instruction for all of our members. The diversity and experience of the club’s veteran coaches combined with the alternative ideas of up and coming young coaches have fostered an ideal atmosphere for the development of training methods and processes,” said Club Director Rocco Lucci.
The club administrators confidently navigated through the coronavirus pandemic while providing kids opportunities to safely train and develop their individual volleyball skills. In the past year, the club has seen a gratifying increase in 12U participation as well as in camp, clinic and private lesson enrollment. Niagara Frontier’s current structure, which is unique to volleyball in Western New York, still allows both grassroots beginners and elite level athletes to develop an appreciation for the sport of volleyball. The players of the #NFVBnation look forward to embracing the future.
