What is Arizona East Valley Juniors?
Arizona East Valley Juniors is celebrating its 18th year as a girls' volleyball club. In that time, East Valley Juniors has become one of the strongest clubs in Arizona. Last year we were home to 190 girls from more than 50 different schools. Athletes from Ahwatukee-Foothills, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe and more come to East Valley Juniors for the excellence of its coaching, facilities, and history.
Arizona East Valley Juniors strives to provide the best over-all experience for every young athlete, whether she is a potential scholarship athlete or a hopeful for her school team. Every coach at East Valley has extensive volleyball coaching and/or playing experience and believes in the worth of each individual athlete.
