About Central Ohio Volleyball Club

The Central Ohio Volleyball Club was formed in the spring of 1988 by Vince Speciale as the Central Ohio Volleyball All-Stars with the purpose of taking Central Ohio High School volleyball Players to California to compete against high school/club players on the west coast

    In 1989, the organization became known as the Central Ohio Volleyball Club and competed for the first time in the Nike Volleyball Festival in Davis/Sacramento, California.  The club continued to grow and started to compete regionally as well as continuing to participate in the Volleyball Festival.  During the early and mid 90's the Central Ohio Volleyball Club reached its maximum size with over 400 athletes trying out for 22 teams in those years.  

  The 21st century has seen some changes to COVBC.  Some are new and some are renewed.  Starting in 2000 COVBC decided to down size.  In 2007 Vince left for Arizona and Dave Holtsberry and Doug Mace took over as the directors of the club to continue what Vince started in 1988.  Central Ohio Volleyball Club has also reconnected with California to bring to Central Ohio the latest in volleyball techniques used by the top pro players in the world.

    As we start this season, the coaches and staff of the Central Ohio Volleyball Club will continue to strive to provide the best possible junior experience for the players in the club.
