About

At Church & Dodge, we believe volleyball is more than just a sport, it’s a way to build connections, grow confidence, and strengthen community. Founded in Evanston, our club was created to make high-level training accessible to kids in a supportive and positive environment.

Our coaches, directors, and volunteers are all proud ETHS alumni, many of whom first learned and honed their volleyball skills in these same gyms. Still deeply connected to the Evanston community, they give back by sharing their passion for the game and creating opportunities for the next generation of athletes.

We introduce players to the fundamentals of volleyball while guiding them to develop the skills, discipline, and resilience needed to succeed. Through consistent training and mentorship, our athletes grow into confident competitors prepared for high school varsity, collegiate play, and the challenges that extend far beyond the court.
