The Howard-Suamico Inferno Volleyball Club The Howard-Suamico Volleyball Club is a program dedicated to creating a positive and rewarding athletic experience that promotes lifelong fitness and team work. Each coach pledges to organize, conduct, and maintain the highest quality of volleyball, and promises the most valuable experience to the players in the Howard-Suamico volleyball program. Why is our club so successful? Practices are during the week instead of on weekends. This allows our girls to play in more tournaments on the weekends. Practices are twice a week at local schools in Howard- Suamico. Girls will receive top quality instruction from experienced coaches. Volunteering to help out at our home tournaments is appreciated but not required. Limited fund raising. Affordable club fees with payment plans. Tournament locations are usually less than 90 minutes from Green Bay. Team size is small to ensure good playing time for all players. Our 16s /17s team will experience tougher competition by attending tournaments in the Milwaukee area. We will be starting a skills and drills class for 5th and 6th graders in January - 9 weeks.
