About the Olympia Volleyball Club

The Olympia Volleyball Club is the longest continually operating Volleyball club in the South Puget Sound region. We have been in existence for over twenty-five years. Club founder and Coach Randy McIntosh continues to serve as a club coach. The club currently has six teams in the twelve and under to sixteen and under age groups.

The Olympia Volleyball Club is a member of the Puget Sound Region of the United States Volleyball Association. OVC is a non-profit organization designed to provide interested athletes with an opportunity to play competitive volleyball and receive quality training. OVC serves the greater Thurston County area and surrounding communities. Last year OVC served roughly 100 girls from Thurston, Pierce, Lewis, Mason and Grays Harbor Counties.

OVC strives for a very high quality volleyball program experience with strong coaching and dependable practice schedules and facilities. We have a program that allows volleyball players of varying abilities to continue their development past the fall school season.
