🏐 Volleyball Camp – Parents Get Your Daughter Ready for Middle School & High School Volleyball Try-outs with St. Johns Volleyball Club’s Summer Camp Just Outside Nocatee On US 1!
Welcome to SJVC, the first youth volleyball training facility in St. Johns County—located just 15 minutes from Nocatee Town Center, 15 Minutes from St Augustine and 16 Minutes from Silver Leaf. More than a youth volleyball facility, St. Johns Volleyball Club is a destination.



Our brand-new facility is a five-star, state-of-the-art training environment, easily accessible from Nocatee and intentionally designed from the ground up to elevate athletes, families, and the future of youth volleyball.
From the moment you arrive, the experience is unmistakable. Guests are welcomed by a 200- year-old olive tree, a grand entry inspired by the calm, refined elegance of the Getty Museum, and a massive 6′ by 20′ Art Installation SJVC Sign that proudly marks the home of something extraordinary. Standing at the entrance is an 6’6″ – foot statue of Co-Founder Andor Gyulai, symbolizing the vision, legacy, and standard of excellence that defines SJVC.
From arrival to departure, your athlete and family are immersed in an ideal, first-class volleyball experience—one that consistently exceeds expectations and quickly becomes a place athletes dream of training.
At the entrance of SJVC is a 5,000-square-foot strength and athletic training center, equipped with the most advanced performance and recovery technology available. This is where athletes build strength, durability, and confidence—safely and intelligently—under expert guidance.
Complementing physical training is our dedicated meditation and mindset room, where athlete meetings, small-group team building, affirmation, visualization, meditation, and mindset workshops are woven directly into our curriculum. Here, athletes learn how to focus, lead, communicate, and believe in themselves—skills that extend far beyond the court.
SJVC is already becoming a destination for families relocating from across the country to train with celebrity coach Andor Gyulai, where top national talent trains alongside new athletes discovering the game, all within a culture that values character, discipline, and joy.
At SJVC, we don’t just develop volleyball players. We develop strong, confident, capable young people.

Why Grass Volleyball
vs. Indoor Volleyball
It’s Bigger Than Volleyball ®
Skill Development

VPT– Volleyball Pattern Training ®
Andor Gyulai
World Class Coaching

Leading Innovator
Why Grass Volleyball vs. Indoor Volleyball – Whether your kids are athletes or not, they likely love playing in the park on the grass with their friends. St. Johns Volleyball Club leverages and builds on this outdoor love to help your kids develop as athletes and develop a lifelong love of sports and volleyball. We like to say: “Keep Playing!” Our belief is the opportunity to experience volleyball outdoors, under the sun, with your friends, is one of the best experiences we can offer as a coach or parent to “Keep Playing!”
Grass Volleyball at Nocatee Park Fields offers many other benefits. Grass volleyball tends to only have 2, 3 or 4 players on each team. Our goal is only 2 players per team. Compare this to most indoor practice / teams with 6 players per side (7 with the Libero), this means your child touches the ball many more times with grass volleyball. More touches on the ball means more skill development. In addition, this is purposeful skill development in all the skills which most college coaches would tell you is preferred. More touches most importantly also equal more fun and more “PLAY!”
Grass volleyball also helps us to keep the class cost down which we can pass onto you by not having to pay gym fees, plus the ability to expand our number of courts as needed practice to practice. This provides an extremely high-quality youth volleyball class for the best value for your dollar in youth volleyball coaching. For beginning volleyball players, volleyball at the Nocatee Park fields is a great way to introduce your kids to the awesome life-long sport of volleyball versus investing thousands of dollars to learn indoor volleyball at a club.
It’s Bigger Than Volleyball ® – At Volleyball1on1 we deeply believe volleyball and sports are a vehicle for teaching important life lessons for success in life. We believe most coaches and parents are “like minded” in this pursuit of helping their children develop life and career skills through sports.
Co-founders of Volleyball1on1 Andor Gyulai and Vanessa Summers-Gyulai are deeply passionate about impacting the lives of youth in powerfully positive ways through their Franchise Like, Superior Coaching Systems ®, which include “It’s Bigger Than Volleyball” ®.

“Excellent goal-setting, communicative, self-directed, critical thinking, lifelong learners who thrive in competition and under pressure, who know how to work as individuals and / or with a team as a member
or a leader while being fair and considering others.”
These same Franchise-Like, Superior Coaching Systems ® will be applied at St. Johns Volleyball Club and discussed often with you through our ongoing parent meetings of youth players who attend Nocatee Park field location classes so parents can reinforce these systems at home.

VPT– Volleyball Pattern Training ® – Regardless of the sport we as humans function best when we use good “Movement Patterns. “Bad Form” or a “Bad Movement Pattern” is either unsafe, inefficient or both. Bad form can lead to injury plus does not help maximize use of the body’s full potential.
VPT– Volleyball Pattern Training ® overcomes this by teaching good movement patterns while also teaching volleyball skills. Examples include a squat while passing, or good throwing form while hitting. Players will also learn how to identify and solve injuries as they happen for long-term overall body health and fitness.
Our Monday and Wednesday fitness class from 3:45 – 4:30 pm will be built around the education of VPT– Volleyball Pattern Training. ®

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Living in Florida, rain is an inevitable part of life when planning outdoor events. Depending on the rain level, volleyball will often continue during very light rain or after it has just rained. We use https://www.weatherbug.com/weather-forecast/hourly/ hourly forecast to predict if class will or will not happen. We let parents know via email 1 hour before class if canceled. We run our Flex Volleyball Camps over 6 weeks to allow for rain days and changes in the schedule.
All camps are non-refundable and non cancel-able. Flex Camp options allow for changes in your schedule for maximum flexibility.
Being prepared for outdoor sports activity is key for success. This includes: Hat, Sunglasses, Sunblock, Water / Gatorade and Snack.
“Winners Stay On!” – This is an important part of our team culture and something we teach in our classes. Our belief is that competition makes everyone better, and in our practice / classes we compete, and teach kids to compete. That said, part of our practice will involve players competing against other players. Better players will go up in courts and lower skilled players will go down in courts. With newer players, we will try keep them close to players of their own age first before focusing on just their skill level. Boys and girls will also often mix and compete together. We find until age 14 girls can compete physically on the same level as boys. After age 14 we find girls often have such an advantage from starting earlier than boys, they still beat them. Many girls still want to compete with boys all the way until 18 and after.
We believe that the net height should change for younger players in order to promote good form. This means lowering the net so your child can spike over the net even at a young age. The net height will change based upon the skill level and age of the court on which they train at NocVolleyball. For most players we will adjust the net height at about the bottom of their hand.
Our goal is between 8-10 players per court, but this will change to as low as 4 players per court depending on the day. We will often divide the courts in half so that we can play two games simultaneously on the same net so that we can maximize contacts on the ball. We also encourage newer players to play on a smaller court. This encourages more touches and this type of play is better for skill development.
Yes, we already offer many resources and Andor Gyulai is a sought out expert in the Youth Volleyball Coaching Space. Andor is available before and post practice to answer quick questions to help support your players growth. We can also recommend additional steps based upon needs and have resources in these areas.
Andor Gyulai will make himself available briefly before and after each practice. Please be thoughtful and courteous by keeping questions short and to the point. If you are interested in bigger questions about the long term future of your daughter or sons volleyball career or getting a scholarship, please understand that we could possibly help within the following framework: 1) We need to first build a working relationship together over the course of at least one season. 2) Thoughtfulness matters, quick questions are fine, but longer discussions need to be put on pause until the appropriate time. 3) Andor can set up a paid consulting call at $500 / hour if you want to take your time and get answers to your full satisfaction.
