ABOUT US

OXFORD HEAT VOLLEYBALL CLUB is a competitive youth program that provides athletic opportunities for female amateur athletes ages 13U - 18U in the Oxford and surrounding communities.  Practices are held twice a week and are typically two hours in length.  There are three levels of teams within our program: State, Regional, and National; each level varies in commitment, cost, length and ability.  Teams are composed of 8 - 10 players/team.

We are dedicated to promoting the volleyball skill development of each individual while also pushing our athletes towards becoming the ultimate Team player. This is done with experiences that lead to exposure to the game at State, Regional and National levels.  We want athletes who have a passion for the sport and enjoy playing competitive volleyball.  The Oxford Heat program is for athletes that enjoy a challenge, have a willingness to work hard, understand commitment to the Team and like to have FUN!
