Volleyball for All
Orange County Volleyball Association (OCVA) is a nonprofit volleyball association serving Orange County, dedicated to expanding access to the sport through high-quality programs, professional coaching, and a positive, athlete-centered environment.
OCVA was founded with a clear purpose: to ensure that every athlete and family has the opportunity to participate in volleyball, regardless of financial or structural barriers.
We believe access to sport should not be limited by circumstance, and that every athlete deserves the opportunity to pursue the game they are passionate about.
Two statements anchor everything we do - how we train, how we hire, how we welcome families, and how we measure success.
To make the sport of volleyball accessible to all athletes and families while delivering high-quality training and a positive, structured experience at every level.
To build a volleyball community in Orange County where every athlete has access to safe, inclusive, and development-focused opportunities - from their first introduction to the game through long-term participation.
At OCVA, we believe access alone is not enough. We are committed to providing athletes with strong technical foundations from the earliest stages of development. When fundamentals are not properly developed at a young age, it becomes significantly more difficult to correct them later.
OCVA provides a clear pathway for athletes at all stages - from their first introduction to the sport through competitive participation - supported by coaching that prioritizes long-term development.
We also recognize the lasting impact that coaching environments have on athletes. For many, negative or unstructured experiences have led them to step away from the sport entirely. OCVA was built to set a different standard.
Every session prioritizes how athletes feel and how they grow.
Technical foundations built correctly - from the first whistle to elite play.
Consistent standards held across every program, every session, every coach.
We develop careers, not just wins. Sport should be accessible, structured, and positive.
The leadership behind OCVA brings over two decades of experience in operating volleyball programs and organizations. That experience supports the development of structured systems, consistent program delivery, and high standards across all levels.
As part of our commitment to expanding access and strengthening the volleyball community, OCVA has undertaken the licensing and management of the United Volleyball Club brand. Beginning in the 2026 season, the program previously known as United Volleyball Club will operate as United OC under the management of OCVA - a shift from a for-profit model to a nonprofit structure aligned with OCVA's mission.
We believe this transition will have a meaningful and lasting impact on athletes and families in the region.
