Polk County Volleyball Club bigger than ever entering sixth season

3 min read

Polk County Volleyball Club is set to swing into its sixth season of competition with a record number of teams.

PCVC will field seven teams during its 2020 season, including two 12-year-old teams and two 13-year-old teams. The seven teams include some 60 local players.

With the expansion also comes a handful of new coaches. Polk County Middle School assistant coach Amber Styles will lead one 12U team, assisted by Ansley Lynch and Ashley Self, with recent Polk County High players Meadow Becker and Sydney Waldman leading the other.
