EVO Athletics is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Suncoast Volleyball Club. EVO’s vision is to provide the community with a world-class yet welcoming athletic training facility for all skills levels, ages and interests.

Volleyball is a key strategic acquisition for the continued realization of EVO Athletics’ desire to provide a family friendly destination for youth, families and adults and we are pleased to have the opportunity to welcome a leading and respected club in the volleyball industry.

Suncoast provides something for all athletes, whether you’re a beginner participating in one of the Jump Starters Programs or a highly trained Elite Volleyball Player with collage sponsorship aspirations.
