g.r.i.t.t. beginning

was originally created as an early gateway for athletes to begin playing competitively prior to their seventh-grade year in school. During those early years, Skye Doty was coaching at the high school level. The school team was successful and the younger athletes longed for their future as they watched their role models win championships. Doty knew she had an opportunity to start a program that allowed athletes to appropriately develop at a younger age, thus helping maintain the tradition of winning seasons as current athletes graduated.

The passion for the sport and inspirational growth of the athletes turned into what was at that time an out-of-season developmental program benefitting the future of Coach Doty's high school program to what it is today: a program that is open to all aspiring student-athletes throughout the entire year. 

G.R.I.T.T. has grown into not just a club volleyball program but also a training avenue for many athletes from various locations. Our coaches have teamed up with school coaches to run tryouts, skills training, individual training, and team training. Our goal is to grow the sport of volleyball and bring the enjoyment of the sport through hard work.

Athletes who train with us are given a unique experience by uniting individuals who do not play for the same school team. During our training sessions, athletes are required to adapt, learn, play, scrimmage, and provide communication with individuals they've never played with. The result of this odd pairing leads to tremendous growth in the athletes - pushing them out of their comfort zones and requiring them to rise to the occasion of competition and partnership. 

We strive to attain each letter of our name:

Gratitude - Resilience - Intention - Tenacity - Transform in every aspect. 

We are excited about our journey and we encourage you to be a part of it with us!
