ABOUT THE TEAM
Lunar NYC is on the rise.
We train with intensity, compete with pride, and support each other with a commitment to bring our best to every play. We show up ready to push past our limits and grow into the kind of athletes, teammates, and young women who lead with strength, courage, and kindness, both on and off the court.
We bring a fresh energy and a ton of enthusiasm to the club volleyball scene. That’s our edge. In June 2025, our 14U team traveled to Volleyball Festival in Phoenix, AZ and came back Divisional Winners. That tournament was our first, and it set the tone: we’re here to compete, and we’re here to win.
Lunar NYC is a program for serious athletes, coaches, and supporters with big dreams and a heart to match. We work hard, we play hard, and we celebrate every step forward — together.
Every practice, every match, every moment is a chance to shine.
We believe in the power of sport to shape character. Our mission is to empower girls through volleyball — teaching them discipline, resilience, and teamwork while celebrating their individuality. Both on and off the court, we want our girls to become the best version of themselves and be an inspiration to others.
Lunar NYC is committed to access. Most club programs cost thousands of dollars, creating barriers for talented athletes who deserve a chance to play. We’re different. As a 501(c)(3), we use donor support to subsidize club fees, provide pro-level uniform kits, and assist with travel expenses. Our players contribute, but the cost is measured in hundreds instead of thousands. No one is excluded because of financial limitations.
We’re here to build a team that reflects the strength and diversity of our city, and to give girls with the drive to compete a place to do it.
Anyone can fill a roster. We build teams that believe in each other.
We offer seasonal tryouts, weekly practices, and tournament play throughout the year. Teams are formed based on skill level and commitment, with opportunities for growth and movement.
Lunar NYC Girls Volleyball practices 2–3 times a week starting in mid-November. Tournament season begins on 12/13/25, when we’ll compete in Phase 1 qualifying matches for the Open Division. Phase 2 takes place on 1/10/26, after which we’ll lock in our local schedule. The 2026 season will include 6–7 local tournaments and six regional/national events. We’ll close the season at AAU Nationals in Orlando, where our athletes will compete against top teams from across the country.
Teams are formed based on skill level, commitment, and chemistry. We’re building rosters that reflect our values: focus, drive, and mutual respect. Every athlete earns her spot, and every team builds its identity together.
We believe in coaching that builds character and confidence.
Led by experienced coaches who care deeply about both performance and personal development, our staff brings a mix of competitive expertise and mentorship. They’re here to challenge you, guide you, and believe in you, even when you’re still learning to believe in yourself.
