St. Louis Fusion Volleyball

St. Lous Fusion Volleyball Club was established in 2005 and is dedicated to advancing the personal and athletic development of youth through the pursuit of excellence in volleyball.

As a club our goal is to create and support a program that has a profoundly positive effect on young athletes within the context of competitive volleyball. We help young athletes develop “life” skills by teaching them to set difficult, but achievable goals. We assist young athletes to achieve these goals by fostering in them and in ourselves a personal commitment to support each other through positive encouragement and work as a team to build character, self-esteem and a winning attitude, which requires diligence, perseverance and discipline.  We recognize that coaches, athletes, parents and members all benefit from being committed to a progressive club that has a continuity of purpose and that pursues excellence.

The St. Louis Fusion Volleyball Club wishes to compete at the highest levels at regional and national tournaments. Each team is looking for players who are dedicated and committed to the sport of volleyball whose ultimate goal is compete at the collegiate level.  The various STL Fusion teams have finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd throughout the season at various tournaments, both locally and in other regions.

St. Louis Fusion is a 501(c)3 organization and is authorized by the IRS and Missouri to accept tax deductible donations.
