About the Club

History of the Club

The Stanford Men's Volleyball Club was established in 2005 by Jorge Caballero ('05) and Paul Kreiner ('06) in order to give talented non-varsity athletes an opportunity to compete beyond the intramural level. The team represents Stanford in the Northern California Collegiate Volleyball League, as well as the annual NIRSA Club Volleyball National Championships. The level of competition is very high as Stanford is the only true club team in the NCCVL (none of the other schools in the league have an NCAA men's volleyball program). All enrolled Stanford undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to play. For more information on trying out for the team or getting involved, please contact us.

Funding

The stanford Men's Volleyball Club draws its funding from a variety of sources including membership dues, the ASSU, and fundraising efforts. The annual budget, in excess of $10,000, funds travel, tournament fees, equipment, hiring referees, and our annual trip to Nationals. Of this, the Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU) provides approximately 20%. The remaining 80% is drawn from player dues and extensive fundraising efforts including staffing Women's Varsity Volleyball matches, working school-wide events such as Homecoming Weekend, Commencement, and Parents' Weekend, and letter writing for The Stanford Fund.
