Welcome to the NM Cactus Volleyball Club 2023-2024 club season. This is our sixteenth official season as a juniors program of USA Volleyball and we are excited about the upcoming year. NM Cactus VBC is a non-profit organization that was started in 2007 to help develop and promote the competitive sport of volleyball for athletes ages 8-18. The goal of the program is to teach young female athletes discipline and good sports- manship, while enhancing their self esteem in a safe and fun environment. If your personal goal is to make your middle school or high school team, we can teach you the skills you need. If your goal is to play at the Collegiate level, we have helped 28 athletes in the past 15 years achieve their dream of playing at the college level. The success of our club revolves around athletes that have high expectations, and a strong work ethic along with our highly trained and committed coaching staff.
Based in Albuquerque, we serve the local area and surrounding cities. We have had athletes that have played with our club from Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Belen, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, Los Alamos and Estancia. We also have athletes that represent the Pueblos of Sandia and Isleta. Come visit the NM Cactus Clubhouse at 3201 University Blvd SE, Warehouse A, Albuquerque, NM 87106.
NM Cactus helps to give athletes the competitive edge and we encourage them to pursue as well as achieve playing opportunities that are at a higher level. Whether that level is playing high school or college, we are here to help our athletes achieve their goals.
