About Webfoot Juniors Volleyball Club

Who are we?

Webfoot was formed in 1999 to provide a positive volleyball avenue for young athletes in the local area. Webfoot is run by Cathy Nelson and approximately 12 other volunteer board members.  For board members or notes from previous meetings, please visit our BOARD INFO page.

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to provide a positive, collegiate style volleyball experience for student/athletes of all ages and skill abilities in the Willamette Valley and surrounding areas.

Goal Statement:

Our primary goals revolve around the skill development and overall improvement of the student/athletes who participate in our club. Through training and competition each player who is a member of Webfoot Juniors will see a marked improvement in their volleyball skills and knowledge of the strategies and concepts of the game.

Our secondary goal is to field teams that are competitive in our region and in national competitions.

Philosophy Statement:

The overall club philosophy is that more is gained by encouraging young athletes to reach their potential through positive feedback than through any other coaching method. The technical aspects of each skill will be stressed at all age groups, as will game skills that enable each player to succeed on the court.

Another main issue with our club is the fact that no single training device is as important for a player’s development than actually playing the game in a competitive situation. For that reason, we will keep the teams small to ensure each member of a team has opportunities to play during tournaments.

We also believe that nothing takes the place of hard work, and finding players and coaches who embrace that philosophy is a winning combination.

Finally we recognize that volleyball is a game to be enjoyed, not endured. It is our intent that the concept of “having fun” will run through the club, from the elite teams to the developmental squads.
