FEAR VOLLEYBALL CLUB

2021 fall season info

Welcome to AZ Fear, the premier club in AZ for Boy's Volleyball. We are focused solely on the growth and development of boys volleyball in AZ, as we do not have a girls side of the club. we are very excited about some new upgrades and additions this season.

​This page should help to break down information for our 2021 Fall Season Tryout, and help with most of the questions you might have for the upcoming season. There will also be an opportunity to register in advance at the bottom of the page. We are looking forward to another great year at AZ Fear, and look forward to some great things happening for Arizona volleyball.

About Fear

Established in 2006, Arizona Fear began with the goal of training players  with the tools to help them prepare for the next level, and to compete in the highest level of competition in the state.  Now entering our 15th year in the valley, we as a club strive to compete not only in Arizona, but at the national level while preparing athletes for collegiate play.  

Fear began with 3 total teams, and had won only 3 club national bronze medals in its first 10 years;  in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Since 2018, arizona fear now has 12 total teams, 17 nationals medals, and more than 80 athletes who have gone on to play at the college level. Come join us at tryouts and open gyms, and see what AZ Fear is all about.
