630 Volleyball was founded with a simple mission in mind: to create a space for athletes in the Chicagoland-area to come together to earn National Championships and prepare for collegiate volleyball careers.

The first part of this mission — to earn National Championships — is fairly straightforward. This may sound like a lofty goal for a newer club, but we can’t help but have it. We recognize that stating this goal publicly makes us vulnerable to criticism but, we are not looking for the easy route here at 630 Volleyball. We would much rather be true to ourselves and our passions; competing to be the best of the best is what motivates and drives us.

The second part of this mission - prepare athletes for collegiate volleyball careers. As volleyball in Chicago has grown in popularity, so has the interest in playing volleyball beyond the high-school level. This is fantastic for the sport, and 630 Volleyball is in the unique position to be able to help players with their collegiate playing goals.

Playing with 630 will be a training experience unlike any other in the area — as players will learn to find FUN in self-improvement, discipline, and hard work. Some clubs sacrifice fun in the pursuit of discipline and intensity — often leading to burnout. While, on the other end of the spectrum, some clubs sacrifice discipline and intensity in order to make the playing experience fun for the kids and in doing so squander the potential of their athletes. We argue that there is a false dichotomy present in these philosophies; it is possible for a training experience to be both fun and disciplined!

This is the mission of 630 Volleyball.
