Front Range Volleyball Club
Front Range has been serving the Denver metro area since 1981 and is a nationally acclaimed junior Olympic training club. Its impact is evident in Rocky Mountain Region, collegiate and national volleyball programs.
Front Range has achieved a record that is unparalleled in Colorado and ranks with the best of the elite clubs in the nation. In 2007, Front Range medaled at AAU National Championships twice, winning bronze medals in 16 Open and 18 Open. In 2006 the club won a Gold medal in 18s and a Silver medal in 16s at AAU Junior National Championships; in 2005 the club won its third and fourth Gold Medals at USA Volleyball's Junior Olympic Championships - this time in the 16 Open and 14 National divisions and a Silver Medal in 15 National; in 2002 the club won the Gold Medal in 18 Open; and in 2001 Front Range Amber won the Gold Medal in the 14 Club division to become the first team in the Rocky Mountain Region to ever win gold at JOs. To date no other club in the Rocky Mountain Region has won more than one Gold Medal at JOs, let alone 2 in one year. Only four other clubs in the country have won three medals in one JOs, and none other than Front Range has won 2 Gold in the same year.
In addition to the five Gold Medals in national championships, Front Range has had 24 Top Ten finishes at JOs and 7 at AAUs; has won 68 RMR Championships.
Players from Front Range have amassed an equally impressive array of awards. At the national Olympic program level, four have been or are on the National Team, four have been on the pro tour and three players in 2000, four in 2001, six in 2003, one each in 2004, 2005 and 2006 have been on the Junior or Youth National teams. Many more have been in the national High Performance camp.
Since the club's inception, more than 250 of its athletes have gone to college on volleyball scholarships; 30 have been chosen as All Americans at the USAV Junior Olympic Championships (three of them being the MVP); 18 selected for Volleyball magazine's "Fab 50" list and 4 named Colorado Sports Woman of the Year in Volleyball. Its alumni include four collegiate All-Americans.
Since 2000 Front Range has qualified 50 teams for Junior Olympic championships - a feat only a very few other clubs in the entire country have matched.
Front Range has garnered more honors and awards than all the rest of the teams in the Rocky Mountain Region combined, a tradition of which the players and staff are justifiably proud.
