ROOTED IN
COMMUNITY.
BUILT FOR ATHLETE
DEVELOPMENT.
Orange Blossom Volleyball Club began with a simple goal: to create a supportive place where young athletes could develop their skills, build confidence, and feel part of a strong community.
In late 2025, Orlando parents Israel and Ruth Velez were inspired by their twin daughters’ growing passion for volleyball. What started as one team quickly expanded through word-of-mouth, growing from 10 athletes to nearly 40 during its first year and entering tournament competition midway through the 2025–2026 season.
As the club grew, Israel and Ruth partnered with experienced coaches Kevin and Pauline, each bringing more than a decade of coaching experience. Together, they built a program centered on faith, character, community, and volleyball excellence.
Today, OBVC helps athletes grow as players and individuals in an environment where every athlete is valued, challenged, and encouraged to become their best.
OUR MISSION
Orange Blossom Volleyball Club develops skilled, disciplined, and confident athletes through intentional coaching, competitive training, mentorship, and meaningful opportunity.
We prepare athletes to grow in the game, pursue higher levels of competition, and become strong leaders on and off the court.
OUR VISION
We aim to establish a volleyball club that earns respect and positively influences young athletes. Our focus is on expanding their horizons and helping them recognize their potential in education, careers, and personal growth. By creating a supportive environment, we encourage athletes to dream big and pursue excellence on and off the court.
