HISTORY OF THE ESSEX VOLLEYBALL CLUB

The South Orange Maples Volleyball Club was founded back in 1978 by Mr. Eugene Chyzowych former volleyball coach at Columbia High School. The Maples was initially founded to keep the members of the Columbia High School Volleyball Team training year round. Due to this training the Columbia High School Volleyball Team was the most dominant team in the State during the 1970's through the 1990's.

In the 1990's the Maples opened their doors to other neighboring schools in the area to give other girls a chance to train year round.
 
In 2000 the club expanded into the Bergen County area and the Essex Volleyball Club was founded to incorporate both the Maples and Essex Volleyball teams under one club name.

Distinguishing itself as one of the oldest programs in the State the Maples have enjoyed a rich tradition of success in training high school volleyball players. During the season the teams compete in regional tournaments as well as the East Coast Championships.

The Essex Volleyball Club is a non profit organization that specializes in technique and skill training. It is an alternative to the many clubs in New Jersey that play a National schedule and are more expensive and time consuming.

The clubs philosophy allows the athlete to receive exceptional training and coaching in the sport of volleyball while still allowing them to experience other interests while as a member of the club. It is our goal to improve each individual players skill level and knowledge of the game.
