The club is still in its growth stages as overseen by the steady and capable hand of Director Michelle Gansert, a long-time and respected figure on the local club volleyball scene. LAVA East houses an exceptional coaching staff with deep ties to the Corona area and its adjacent communities.
The program fields three to five teams annually across the range of age divisions, as well as youth and juniors non-travel training programs. We use various gyms around the Corona, Norco and Riverside areas.

YOUTH LITE - FOR 3RD-5TH GRADERS
The Lite Program is the official youth training and development program of LAVA East, designed to give young athletes a taste of volleyball in a encouraging environment that mixes quality skills training with lots of fun games to build a passion for this wonderful sport. The program is coached by professional, paid coaches; it is not volunteer-based and, as such, the training value and player growth is significant.
