Imagine your future
Join the movement in Clay County, Florida
WHO WE ARE
Clay County Boys Volleyball is an independent program created with the spirit to ignite a spark in the Clay County community.
BUILDING THE FUTURE
Intended for young men ages 11 to 18, we hope student-athletes and the community join us in advocating for boys volleyball as an officially sponsored sport in their middle and high schools.
MISSION
Our mission is to advocate for the inclusion and development of school-supported boys volleyball programs in middle and high schools in Clay County, fostering a culture of athleticism, teamwork, and personal growth.
SEASON
Our prototype is three months long, mirroring the season of boys high school volleyball in St. Johns County, Fla.
LOCATION
An independent entity, CCBV is not affiliated with the School Board of Clay County. We are grateful to St. Johns Country Day School and Lakeside Junior High School in Orange Park for their hospitality in granting us access to lease space.

UPDATES
Since our inaugural season in spring 2024, the boys volleyball landscape in Jacksonville has changed drastically!
Cool in School
While boys volleyball is a staple in St. Johns County, two schools now offer the sport in Duval — Global Leadership Academy, a charter school, and Harvest Community School, which is private. We continue to advocate in Clay County; please encourage your coaches, athletic directors and principals to offer the sport for our young men in spring 2026.
Our involvement this season
With two schools offering the sport in Duval, we’ve learned that boys in Clay County can play for Harvest Community School. Since the sport is growing, we’re supporting Harvest with players. Thus, we will not be creating a team in Clay County this season. Please note that all information must be submitted by Feb. 12. Please note that tryouts moved to 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 19.
The Club Scene
Two clubs began offering boys volleyball summer 2024 — North Florida Elite and Jacksonville Skyline. NFE practices at UNF, and Jax Skyline has its own facility in Southside. The largest concentration of boys volleyball teams is at Jax Skyline. If playing for a school isn’t in the cards this season, please reach out to these clubs. There’s no better time to get involved!

Paving the way
Although boys volleyball is the fastest-growing sport in high schools across the USA, it’s just sprouting in Jacksonville, Fla. For example, St. Johns County School District was a trailblazer in offering the sport in its middle and high schools. However, Clay, Duval, Nassau and Baker counties don’t yet have it available in schools. We want to change that in Clay!
Women’s volleyball is a staple in many colleges and universities around the country. However, men’s volleyball is growing, along with scholarship opportunities. We found Scholarship Stats to have insightful information.
We’re aiming to add boys volleyball as a school sport in Clay County.
