The Boston Volleyball Festival is one of the largest annual volleyball tournaments held in New England, hosting over 600 teams – junior boys, girls, and adults – on 80 courts over two weekends. We have chosen this tournament as a benchmark because 1) it takes place approximately halfway through the boys’ club season, and 2) it allows teams from Massachusetts to compete against other teams from New York and New England.
The following rankings are based on each club’s highest team result in the Boston Volleyball Festival in February/March of 2022. Full results of the tournaments can be found below the rankings.
NOTE: These are the results of one tournament and should only be used as a reference point. Do your research when choosing a club – what is the club’s philosophy? What are the resumes of the coaching staff? What is the cost and the commitment for each team? Have other players had good experiences with the club/coaches? There are many more important factors to having a successful volleyball club season than just tournament results!
