Syracuse Volleyball Club

Syracuse Volleyball Club (SVC) was founded in 2020 by Jim Nichols, owner of Sharkey’s Restaurant and Volleyball Facility. With a wealth of experience as a 15-year professional beach player, NCAA men’s volleyball coach, high school coach, and club coach, Jim serves as the SVC Director, guiding the coaching staff and playing an active role in player development.

Based in Syracuse, NY, SVC offers comprehensive volleyball programs for boys and girls, with teams spanning from 12 & Under to 18 years old. The club is dedicated to creating an environment where athletes not only sharpen their skills but also forge lasting relationships, underscoring their philosophy that the experience truly matters.

SVC’s approach is centered on its core pillars:

• Players Matter: The club prioritizes a strong and consistent foundation, emphasizing fundamental volleyball principles at the youngest levels. These skills are progressively refined and cultivated as players grow within the program.
• Coaching Matters: SVC’s coaches collaborate to ensure consistency and quality throughout the club. Each coach brings a depth of knowledge and a passion for teaching, fostering the development of players at all skill levels.
• Experiences Matter: SVC believes that volleyball is about more than just the game. Teamwork, tournaments, and travel provide opportunities for players to learn, grow, and enjoy unique life experiences within the club sports culture.

At SVC, athletes are empowered to reach their full potential both on and off the court. By focusing on skill development, teamwork, and character building, the club provides an environment where players become not just better athletes, but also well-rounded individuals. SVC is more than just a volleyball program — it’s a family united by a passion for the game and a commitment to excellence.
