About Team Blue Crab:

of USA Volleyball. Our main purpose is to provide quality training
and competitive opportunities for young athletes at all levels of

social development, contribute to mental and physical health, and
teach the values of teamwork, responsibility, self-discipline, and
self-motivation. As we seek to promote and develop youth volleyball
in the New Orleans area, we focus on our players’ interests and
enthusiasm, as well as, their volleyball skills and athletic
abilities. Our mission is to promote youth volleyball at all age and
skill levels.
Commitment to Blue Crab Volleyball:
Playing volleyball for Blue Crab requires a strong commitment to the
game and teammates. We expect all players and parents to read this
website along with policies, rules, etc. in its entirety.
Participation in Blue Crab requires much time and effort. We are
committed to the work ethic and the rewards it can reap, not just in
volleyball but in life as well.
About Our Local Program:
Established by Don Landry in 1998, the purpose of the Blue Crab
local program is to provide a less expensive club volleyball
experience. The format for our local program is simple. We provide a
minimum of three hours of skills work two to three nights per week.
We will begin with a parent meeting sometime in November. At this
early meeting we will talk about the local tournament schedule,
pertinent club topics, and answer any question you might have about
our local program.
