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. Now entering our 19th year in the valley, we as a club have established ourselves as the home of elite boys volleyball players in Arizona.

AZ 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 40+ national-level medals, and more than 115+ 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!

Tryout & Start Up Fees

There is a nonrefundable $20.00 tryout fee.  If your son makes a team, you will be responsible for paying the start-up fee, and setting up the remaining season's monthly dues. 

Depending on the team you make, at tryouts you are committing to either the entire fall season (August 2025-January 2026), or for the entire club season (August 2025-July 2026). If you are committing to the club season, there will be a season contract at tryouts which will outline the cost breakdown/commitment. For a full breakdown of season dues, please click here.
