Development Beyond the Game
Age Groups
A pathway that grows with the athlete.
Playing time is earned, not guaranteed. Athletes are evaluated on effort, preparation, coachability, execution, and team needs.
Foundation & Development
Skill development, learning rotations, confidence building, and foundational volleyball IQ. Development is emphasized as athletes learn the game physically and intellectually.
Competition & Leadership
Competitive execution, role accountability, situational decision-making, and leadership development. Athletes earn captain and mentor roles through effort and team-first behavior.
Tryouts
Come strike with us.
Venom runs a USAV/AAU-style competitive season. Tryouts open in late summer. Bring your best effort, court shoes, and a coachable mindset.
One-on-one development.
Sharpen your game outside of team practice. Book private and small-group training through Total Development with certified personal trainer Taneki Mayes. Build strength, refine technique, and train the mental game.
Every session is built around your goals: not just a workout, but a plan for better decisions and better results.
About the Founder
Taneki Mayes
A lifelong athlete and certified personal trainer, Taneki founded Venom Volleyball Club to build more than players. She develops disciplined, confident competitors who think the game at a high level and carry themselves with integrity on and off the court.
"Health is wealth. Each day we get better physically, mentally, and emotionally." Venom coaches are held to the same standard as the athletes: teach fundamentals, model sportsmanship, and put long-term development first.
Giving Back
Community & YMCA partnership.
Venom is committed to the game and the community that develops young athletes. In the off-season, seasoned Venom athletes assist as youth coaches, skills trainers, and referees in local YMCA recreational leagues, deepening their understanding of the game while building leadership, communication, and mentorship.
