864 Elite Volleyball Club was founded this fall by three local friends and volleyball coaches who share a passion for volleyball and the youth in the surrounding communities. Coach Mellie Crumpton, Coach Ken Vanderhoof, and Coach Tommy Crumpton have years of coaching experience, but came together as a coaching trio in the fall of 2019. They coached their first year of club volleyball together and have remained together since then coaching club ball. They make an amazing coaching team, complimenting each other’s coaching abilities. They share the philosophy that each practice should consist of fundamentally sound techniques and believe that incorporating ball handling is a must.

After finding out their previous club was moving locations, they decided they wanted to keep giving back in their own local communities, so they decided to start their own club, 864 Elite! Their goal is to offer competitive volleyball locally for all players, hence how the name was created. Their belief is that players can find superior coaching and competition here in their own community without having to drive an hour or more for volleyball.

864 Elite was created to bring together the athletes in the area, train them from a young age, and help develop them into a well-rounded, student athlete with a strong work ethic. We want our athletes to learn to be great leaders, accept responsibility, and learn discipline and commitment.
