Recap of the 2026 season! 🏐

In only FIVE years as an organization, SUVA has made tremendous strides. Our number of athletes has continued to increase every season, our teams keep getting stronger, and the number of gold finishes, bracket wins, and tournament wins continue to increase year after year. We were blessed with amazing families, incredible athletes, and a very knowledgeable & experienced coaching staff this spring.

Next season, we'll be adding AMERICAN teams to our rosters for the first time! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

BIG things are happening here at SUVA. Thank you to everyone who's been a part of our family at any point during the last 5 years! We couldn't have done it without you! ☺️

Our last team to conclude their season is our 13 Pendleton team! This group continued to show improvement and success throughout the spring and we enjoyed watching them do so!

Below is what Coach Pendleton had to say about her team.

As this season came to an end, I want to say how proud I am of this group and for all of the improvements they’ve shown this season physically and mentally.

This season, I watched this group become stronger mentally, emotionally, and physically. I watched confidence grow, leaders emerge, and teammates become family. I watched these girls transform into teammates that picked one another up after a mistake and learn the grit that it takes to come back in a game instead of giving up or getting discouraged.

In our regional tournament, almost every pool play game we had we were down at some point in time or had to go 3 sets. I watched these girls decide to stay positive and fight. They were able to come back each time from those big point deficits or after losing a set. Instead of giving up, they came back out on fire and fought, which is something that they had struggled with earlier in the season. They ended up coming out undefeated in their pool play games that day because of that mental growth. That’s what these seasons are about, not just about growth in the physical part of the game β€” it’s about the mental growth and teaching them to believe in themselves the way everyone else believes in them. Watching them show that growth on the court made me so incredibly proud of them.

I hope every player leaves this club season recognizing their growth they showed in all areas of the game. I know every single one of these girls has a bright future ahead of them that I am thankful I get to continue to watch happen. I will always be thankful and proud for the opportunity to have gotten to be their coach this season.

This was my first year coaching club volleyball after years of coaching youth and high school volleyball, and they made the experience better than I ever expected.

From day one, these girls just clicked. Every practice, tournament, and road trip was something we all looked forward to. From Secret Sister surprises, decorating volleyballs, side-by-side rides, team games for prizes, hotel door posters at OVR tournaments, and future outings already being planned, this team created friendships and memories that will last long after the season.

Our team motto quickly became β€œNext Play = Best Play.” It reminded us to move on from mistakes, stay confident, and keep pushing forward. No matter what happened, these girls always found a way to reset and support each other.

We also battled injuries and sickness throughout the season that were completely out of anyone’s control, but the girls still showed up wanting to do whatever they could for their team. One player came limping into practice with a knee brace and said, β€œCoach, I can still practice.” Another player dealing with tendinitis practiced one-armed because her legs still worked and one arm would do. That toughness and heart defined this group.

I started the season with only 8 girls, most of them mainly hitters or setters. By the end of the season, every girl could confidently play back row, and several expanded into new positions. Some hitters started setting. Some setters became strong hitters and smart tippers with great volleyball IQ. It wasn’t anything special I didβ€”it was simply a group of girls willing to believe me when I told them, β€œYou can and you will.”

This team competed in five tournaments and made Gold bracket in every single one. They finished 1st in one tournament, 2nd in two tournaments, and 3rd in two tournaments. I know I probably made some people nervous watching our games because my girls would get down 5 or 6 points and I wouldn’t always call a timeout. But I knew my girls, and I knew it only took a matter of seconds and one momentum-shifting play before they were right back in the lead. They knew how to fight and dig themselves out of sets where the score seemed impossible to overcome. More importantly, they represented themselves with toughness, intelligence, sportsmanship, and heart every time they stepped on the court.

These girls came from different schools and communities, but this season they became one team and one family. I’ll forever be a fan of every single one of these girls and will always be cheering them on no matter what school jersey they wear. β€οΈπŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ€ŽπŸ©Ά

The girls have shown so much improvement this season, and I couldn’t be more proud of them. Seeing their progress has been amazing. I’ve loved having this group and am so proud of what we accomplished this season. It’s truly been a memorable journey, watching them grow and succeed together. Their hard work and dedication have paid off, and I'm excited to see what they'll achieve in the future. This season will always hold a special place in my heart, not just for the wins, but for the bonds we’ve formed and the lessons we’ve learned. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of their development. Specifically, their growth as volleyball players has been remarkable; they've improved their skills, teamwork, and strategic thinking. It's been rewarding to see them evolve both individually and as a cohesive unit.

As our 14 Regional season comes to a close, we want to recognize the incredible growth, effort, and dedication this team showed throughout the year. From the very first practice to our final tournament, these athletes continued to improve not only their volleyball skills, but also their teamwork, confidence, and resilience.

This season was filled with exciting moments, tough competition, and valuable learning experiences. The team showed determination during long tournament days, supported one another through challenges, and celebrated successes together. Their hard work in practice translated onto the court as they developed stronger communication, improved fundamentals, and a deeper understanding of the game. In turn the team won many medals this season!

One of the biggest accomplishments this season was the growth we saw individually and collectively. Players stepped outside of their comfort zones, embraced new roles, and consistently gave their best effort. The commitment from the athletes and support from families helped create a positive and encouraging team culture that made this season special.

We are proud of the way this team represented our club with sportsmanship, hustle, and heart. While wins and losses are part of the journey, the character, friendships, and memories built throughout the season are what truly matter most.

Thank you to all of the players and families for your dedication and support this season. We are excited to see what the future holds for each athlete and cannot wait to watch them continue to grow both on and off the court. We love our SUVA family πŸ’•

I could not be more proud of my team this year! They have endless talent and above that they are great teammates and so enjoyable to coach! This team went 41-3 this season!!! WOW! So impressive for 11 and 12 year olds! They won 6 out of 6 GOLD championships, one being a two day regional challenge! They only went 3 sets in a total of 4 matches this year and finished 3rd in overall rankings out of over 200 teams before regionals!!! At Regionals it just wasn’t their day in the morning but they made a choice and chose to finish strong winning every game in two during bracket play! This group of girls LOVE the game and each other! I know they have formed relationships with one another that will last their lifetime! I am so thankful to have been blessed to coach these girls and be a part of their lives. I hope they know just how blessed they are to have the ability to play the game they love and have their parents support them! Our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even their friends were such great supporters! I appreciate them also very much!! I am looking forward to watching them do great things in Junior High next fall! GO SUVA!!!

This was an amazing group of young ladies and athletes. I have truly enjoyed coaching them this year! As a coach, you always hope to see growth and development in your players. This team far exceeded that. For our tournament record, we made it to the gold bracket twice, placing 3rd and 5th and we placed 2nd and 3rd in silver in two tournaments. In Regionals, we won first place in the Mercury bracket. It was a long day, but these girls played hard and consistent and earned that gold medal. The girls went undefeated for the day and had only one game that went 3 sets! They did an amazing job and I couldn’t be more proud of them.
As individual athletes, these girls always carried themselves with poise and grace both on and off the court. Their personal growth and development has hopefully laid a foundation that will benefit their teams and schools next year. I have no doubt we will be seeing their names in the future in newspapers as they will become the elite athletes in southern Ohio. Again, I want to say I am so proud of the hard work and effort these ladies put into this season. Their accomplishments were well deserved.
I’d like to give a special shout out to my parents. You’ve made this season very enjoyable for me as a coach. You came and supported, not just your child, but our team. You have raised a group of amazing kids. THANK YOU so much!

Our 16s wrapped up their season last weekend and we couldn’t be more proud of them! They battled more injuries than we can count but always found a way to pull through! Congratulations girls on a great season and we look forward to watching your success this fall!

I was so proud of my team. They've battled many obstacles this season, but remained mentally tough and faced them all head on. We accomplished our pre-season goal of making the gold bracket at every tournament! They finished the season on a very high note, not dropping a set in pool play and going to the overall GOLD bracket, finishing 5th out of 124 teams‼️ They played with grit all day, I couldn't have asked them to work any harder. The team that beat us in the gold bracket was by far the best team we've played this season, and they went on to win it all. Already looking forward to next year!
