Nickel City Volleyball

The NCV 15u and 17u teams concluded their tournament season this weekend at the WEVA Rally III in Brockport, NY.

Our 17u lost in the Gold bracket semi-final to Paradigm Hot Shots 17s, while the 15u lost in a close 3-set Silver bracket quarterfinal to the Pride 15s. Both teams played hard and should be proud of a great season!

The Nickel City 16u team finished their season with a strong finish at the Penn State Behrend Tournament in Erie, PA on April 7th. The team finished second overall in the tournament losing to the Club Ashtabula 16-Fowler team in the final of the gold bracket.

Congratulations and great work this weekend and this season overall to the players and coaches and thank you to the parents and family/friends for your support!!

Team practices officially conclude this week and our final travel team tournaments are on April 14th. To officially close out the season, we are offering several position and skills clinics through the end of the month (no clinics over Spring break). All clinics will be held at Waterfront Elementary School from 6-7:30pm.

As the clinics are geared toward specific positions, registration is limited to 15 participants so be sure to register soon.

View the CLINICS tab for details or to register. We are considering additional clinics and will send out a notification if we do add to the list. https://www.nickelcityvb.com/clinics

Nickel City does not currently offer any of our own club-run camps, however we do post information and links to summer camps available throughout WNY. If you are in need of camp options check out our Summer Camps page!

Thank you to Coach Maria Roberts of Buffalo State College for a great offensive skills clinic! Everyone LOVES hitting, so it was great to learn some new techniques to make our offense more effective.

Congratulations to the NCV 16u players and coaches as they won the Silver Bracket of the Digfest Tournament on March 17th! The team went 4-0 in playoffs, beating the Lakers 16u in the final. Way to go Nickel City!!

Thank you to Coach Stephanie Albano of Daemen College for an awesome team defense clinic!

Thank you to Coach Lenika Vazquez of Canisius College for a great first clinic! Our players and staff learned some great new techniques and drills to continue improving our volleyball fundamentals.

Buffalo Public Schools are closed for the day so there will be no team practices this evening (Mon, Feb 25th). Normal practice schedules will resume on Tuesday.

Congratulations to the NCV 16u players and coaches who went 6-0 in pool play and advanced to the Gold final at the LAVA Valentine Challenge on Feb 17th. The team lost in a close 3-set final to the LAVA Scorch. Great job team!!

We are looking forward to a fun and exciting 2019 club season! Wish all of our players and NCV families a safe and happy New Year!

It's been nearly a month since many of us have touched a volleyball, so to get back into the groove before teams practices begin we are offering "Serve & Pass" nights for our teams! These are optional practices that will consist of serving, passing and other mini games to help get the dust off before team practices begin the following week!

Wednesday, January 2nd: 15u team & Practice Squad

Thursday, January 3rd:16u & 17/18u teams

Both Serve and Pass nights will be held at Waterfront Elementary from 6 - 7:30pm. So that we may plan accordingly, please email to let us know if you will be attending by Monday, Dec 31st.

Congratulations to the Nickel City 15 Orange who won the Sapphire bracket of the Irish Rumble this past weekend. NCV swept the three opposing teams 2-0 in each round. The team came together with strong serving and defensive plays through each playoff round. Great job girls!
