Our Mission
913Athletics’ mission is to be an elite Kansas City Volleyball club dedicated to creating and sustaining a culture of high level, dynamic, and competitive volleyball players. We are committed to working with athletes who are motivated to compete and succeed. Our team aims to equip athletes with the tools for success on and off the court and to develop a never ending love for volleyball. Our Athletes understand the commitment to the team and are willing to do/play in whatever position is necessary for the success of the team.
For their 3rd club season (2025-2026), 913Athletics offers a total of 15 teams ranging from U12-U17 - 2 of which have qualified for USAV Nationals. 913Athletics plans to add U11’s and U18’s for the 2026-2027 season.
How We Operate
(2026-2027 Club Season)
From November through January/February, our teams train at a high level with three two-hour practices each week at Olathe South High School or Radiant Church. One of those sessions is dedicated to position-specific skills training, where athletes break out by position for an hour to focus on detailed, game-impacting reps. Teams then come back together to apply those skills in fast-paced, game-like play.
National teams will maintain this three-day training schedule through the end of February. Black and White teams will shift to two practices per week following the MLK Tournament.
Beyond the court, each team will come together once a month from January through March for film sessions and team bonding—building not just smarter athletes, but stronger, more connected teams. During these sessions, as well as at practice, athletes will utilize their 913Journal (included in the gear kit), which features weekly pre- and post-practice check-ins along with a 14-part Mental Toughness program designed to develop confident, resilient athletes who can learn, grow, and perform through adversity.
Throughout the season, our teams take part in 3–4 fun, fast-paced, themed All-Club Scrimmages. These events bring the entire club together to compete against fellow 913 teams in creative, themed outfits—adding energy, excitement, and a strong sense of community. To top it off, prizes are awarded for the best dressed (athletes and parents included!).
Our competition schedule is built to challenge and showcase our teams: National teams will travel to two Qualifiers, Black and White teams will attend one Qualifier, while our 11–12 teams will compete locally.
Every athlete will receive a gear kit, which includes a backpack, three jerseys (black, white, and pink), knee pads, and socks. In addition, athletes will receive three practice shirts, a crew neck, a windbreaker warm up, and a 913Journal.
