RVC Serves Richmond

We're a non-profit 501(c)3 growing a vibrant community of volleyball lovers since 1981.

Our goal is to create a safe environment through access, diversity, and inclusion for a lifetime of community. We aim to reach more individuals each year through partnering with various organizations/causes within the area.

If you or your organization would like to partner with Richmond Volleyball Club in an outreach event, please email us!


 

OUR MISSION:

We create community, wellness, opportunity, and belonging for all people through the sport of volleyball.

We Believe...

  • Everyone can be an athlete.
  • Everyone deserves a safe, inclusive space to play.
  • A healthy body, healthy mind, and healthy social life all go hand-in-hand.
  • Good sportsmanship on the court leads to good citizenship off the court.
  • We find strength in community, and we must serve ours.


Volunteer with Us!

We can’t accomplish all we do without our volunteers. We have more than 500 volunteers who donate approximately 19,000 hours annually! The value of those hours is more than $600,000! 

 

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, volunteers are very important in helping us achieve our mission.

 

Robison Fund

Established in 2005 in memory of Roger Robison, one of RVC's first board of directors, the Robison Fund was created to carry on his belief that young athletes within the Richmond-area can play volleyball without financial burden.

 

In 2023, the Robison Fund raised $65,000!

 



Testimonials From RVC Players and Partners

"Over the past 2 years, this fund has given our family support and made it possible for our kids to play at levels we could not provide for them before. We are grateful for what this fund has blessed us with and other families like ours who love volleyball and want to see our kids love it too. We are grateful to all who contribute to this cause and when our kids are grown, we plan to continue our volleyball journey and give back to the Robison Fund helping others in the same way we ourselves have been helped."
- The Atherholt Family

"This place was like my second family. If I ever needed something, I could go to RVC, and they would help me. My experience playing at RVC has helped me grow as a player, leader, and individual. RVC has also prepared me to play collegiate-level volleyball. I play on Widener University's Men’s Volleyball team and am pursuing an electrical engineering degree. I’m so glad to be part of the RVC family and happy to say it has helped me.”
- Kian S., Former Juniors Player

"Over the past year, RVC has facilitated volleyball fundamentals to over 200 youth and provided summer instruction to our Teen Workforce Program. Because of the generosity of RVC, our teens were given the chance to facilitate volleyball instructions alongside experienced RVC Coaches. We received exceptional feedback from staff, parents and participants about the instruction provided, as well as how impressed all were with RVC staff."
