CLUB INFORMATION

CLUB VOLLEYBALL (11S - 18S)

Texas Tornados Team Structure

At Texas Tornados Volleyball Club, our teams follow a structured progression based on skill level and competition:

• Adidas (1st Tier) – Our highest-level teams, consistently ranked among the Top 3 in Houston in their age groups.
• National (2nd Tier) – Highly competitive teams, typically ranked in the Top 10 citywide.
• Black (3rd Tier) – Strong teams, often ranked in the Top 25, and frequently surpassing other clubs' top teams.

TTVB is fortunate to be in a talent-rich area of Suburban Northwest Houston, with elite coaching and unrivaled training that develop players at every level.

Competition & Development

• National Travel & Success:
• All 12-18 Adidas and 14-16 National teams compete on a full national travel schedule and have consistently qualified for USAV Nationals.
• Black teams may play a national or regional schedule, depending on the depth of talent within the age group.
• Training & Growth:
• Players from teams of similar capability train together regularly.
• Black teams challenge National teams, and National teams push Adidas teams, fostering high-level competition within the club.
• Due to our club’s talent depth and player development, it’s common for athletes to progress from Black to Adidas within their careers at TTVB.

At Texas Tornados, we are committed to developing elite athletes, competitive teams, and a winning culture—all while providing a pathway for growth and success at every level.
