Arsenal is an amazing volleyball club that prioritizes the development of its players. The Staff and Coaches are top notch, and pride themselves in fostering an environment that makes the players feel welcomed but also challenges them grow. We are proud to call Arsenal our home Club!!!!

Both of my daughters have had a great experience at Arsenal. My older daughter came to Arsenal for the 23/24 season and joined a 16 National team. It was the best decision we could have made. Her growth was astounding.
My younger daughter played on a 15 regional team this past club season and had a successful season. We're looking forward to playing again next year!

Joining Arsenal Volleyball Academy has been such a rewarding experience for our daughters. The coaches are incredibly supportive and skilled, helping them grow both as a players and a teammates. They have gained confidence, made great friends, and look forward to every practice and tournament. We’re so grateful to be part of such a positive and encouraging environment!

We had the absolute best experience with 9U training team! Coach Jen was amazing and took the time with my daughter to build a great foundation for the sport of volleyball! She is counting down the days until she can tryout for 10U!

Our oldest daughter played for two other local clubs (2017, 2018) before finding Arsenal (2019). She had a great experience and she grew the most in the game during that single season. After tearing her ACL in her senior HS season, Arsenal welcomed her as an assistant coach in the spring, which was also a good experience. Our youngest daughter has only played for Arsenal because we’ve had the best experience with them and weren’t interested in going anywhere else. We’ve had very few concerns, but we felt heard in the one or two issues that we had. We appreciate that Arsenal strives to make all their players better, not just the top players. That doesn’t happen at very many clubs.

This was one of the best experiences we have ever had in any sport that we have been involved in. My daughter was on the 17 National team so we have had many experiences with multiple sports. It would be amazing if the Robinson brothers would coach the 18 National Team next year.

Arsenal has a lot to offer a player who is wanting to grow in their Volleyball knowledge and skill level.

This was my daughter’s first year playing club volleyball, and I’m grateful for Arsenal. From the beginning, the coaches recognized her potential and truly pushed her to grow. It was clear that this program is built on talent and development, not politics or connections, and that was refreshing. Her game improved tremendously over the course of the season. She became stronger, more confident, and even more passionate about volleyball. That was my main goal, and it was fully accomplished. Like most club programs, the cost is significant, but the investment was worth it for the progress she made. If I had to note any downsides, I do wish the program was more diverse, that's something I believe could add even more value and strength to the overall experience. Anything else outside of that felt like background noise. My only objective was for my daughter to grow, play hard, and fall deeper in love with the game. That happened, and I have no regrets.

Multi-Team Parent
Love Arsenal Volleyball Academy. Our daughters have all played there for multiple years and have developed as volleyball players throughout their journeys. They have also made lifelong friends through their experiences. Brian and Kellie are honest and committed to the club. It is apparent they love volleyball and look forward to watching the clubs progress as they now have a permanent home.

Great volleyball academy, very knowledgeable and well run. I like that they invest time with the players on building and improving skills at the technical and fun level but also learning new skills.

Love the club! Couldn't be happier with the growth for both of my daughters. The coaches work hard to get everything they can out of the players.

Our daughter played for Arsenal for her second club season, and we just accepted an early offer so she will continue at Arsenal. From the beginning of our experience, we were impressed with the organization and communication. Then once we met her coaches, the amazing experience continued. At the time that practices were about to begin, i was diagnosed with cancer. Her coaches exceeded the role of a "coach" with their compassion, support, and concern....for our daughter, but also for us as a family. The coaches and other parents stepped up when needed to even help with rides to and from practice. Unfortunately, I had to miss a few tournaments, but again, thanks to the coaches and parents, I was able to watch their live stream from home during my recovery. They even included the team for a pink practice and pink ribbons during a tournament, along with pink bracelets made by one of her teammates. When I was finally able to attend a local tournament, one of her coaches even loaned me a wheelchair so I could come. Not only was I humbled by all of this, my daughter absolutely loved her experience with her team! Her smiles and excitement are the most important, and I am honored to keep supporting this organization! I was blessed with a village throughout my journey, and Arsenal is a part of that village. Thank you for the compassion, in addition to helping with the growth and skills for my daughter as a player, and as a person.

Both my daughters have had a positive experience at Arsenal and have learned so much! They are learning skills as well as how to be team players!
10U/12 national Parent
We love being apart of the Arsenal Family. The Directors are beyond committed to every player and they truly want to see every play grow and develop along with the whole program. The coaches are hands down the best coaches in the tri-state area. They are knowledgeable, committed, and determined to develop your child. Arsenal is a top club and happy for their big move to Monroe.

"Arsenal is like a second family for my daughter. She has grown up in this club and we have seen first-hand the care the directors and coaches take for each individual's success. I know my daughter is not just another player, but someone that everyone in the gym knows by name and is cheering for in volleyball and in life."

10U Schutte Parent
"We fell in love with Arsenal from the beginning at Arsenal’s open gyms and meeting the 10U Coach Jen. Both our girls played for Coach Jen last season and was the best first year into club volleyball. Arsenal’s directors do a great job with communication and making sure each player matters. Overall this club is a high level club that we are happy we are committed to."

"I wanted to let you and the other directors know what a great experience we had at Arsenal this year. This is the first year that my daughters played for you .... The contrast has been stunning. Arsenal is an exceptionally well run club. We have never had a coach and tentative schedule available before tryouts. The communication to teams is prompt and accurate, and the only issue we had come up this year (a uniform problem) was fixed and communicated to us before we even were aware of it. Even in this climate of uncertainty due to quarantine, you have kept everyone up to date and manged expectations very well. We are thrilled with our experience at Arsenal, and beyond Ryan's excellence as a coach, most of that has been due to your administration. Thank you so much for all of the hard work you do. As a family that has had experience at a poorly run club, we appreciate the great work you do!!"

"I just wanted to thank both of you (and Rusty) for taking the time to talk to each team. Your explanations and willingness to be open and answer questions from parents was much appreciated. [Player] is missing a big part of her identity not practicing and playing right now with Arsenal."
