Tampa United would like to thank Bob Gries for his support of our organization and our 16Tampa and 17Tampa teams. Through Bob's generosity, each team will attend an extra national qualifier. The two teams have added the Lone Star Qualifier and plan to fight to the finish, making the most of the opportunity. Thank you again, Bob!

Congratulations go out to 13 Tampa, 16 Tampa, and 18 Tampa for qualifying this past weekend to compete at the Girls Junior National Championships in Dallas, Texas.

The foundation is responsible for giving out 28 scholarships consisting of a small amount of money to help get the students to and from school and materials for the year. The athlete can bring the supplies into the United Center where there is a bin to collect. ( If you are a United Player that practices at an off-site, we are hoping to have bins there soon! )
 
United players that bring in 5 or more supplies enter a raffle to win a FREE private lesson!

MISSION STATEMENT 
 
Where every player counts. The Tampa United Volleyball Club believes all players are equally important and valuable and treats all players accordingly.
 
Training the whole player. Tampa United believes in training the “whole” player; that is not only training players in the fundamentals and strategies of the game, but also training players to be determined, disciplined, and morally strong student athletes. We will not only build high school ready and college ready players, but also future CEOs and community leaders.
 
Bringing volleyball to you and you to volleyball. Tampa United believes in good sportsmanship from the coaches and staff down to the players.  We believe in continual growth for both our players as well as our staff. We believe that part of its mission is to help bring more student athletes of various backgrounds and skill levels to club volleyball.
