About WVE

Willamette Valley Elite Volleyball Club (WVE) was founded in 2023 by coaches Morgan Lemen and Mel Baughman with a vision that extends far beyond the court. Our mission is to empower athletes to excel and grow not just in their sport, but to become confident, respectful, and resilient individuals.

At WVE, we believe every athlete has unique potential. Our coaching team is dedicated to providing individualized support, celebrating progress at every level, and creating an environment where players feel motivated and valued. Our coaches are also dedicated to being a mentor to every player, and each practice offers athletes the chance to improve and achieve success.

We’re proud to offer a high-quality, affordable club experience that develops strong volleyball skills while instilling life values like teamwork, discipline, and leadership.

WVE currently offers competitive teams for 12s, 14s, 16s, and 18s, along with summer camps, private lessons, and both indoor and beach volleyball training.

WVE is a proud member of CEVA (Columbia Empire Volleyball Association), the USA Volleyball region that serves all of Oregon and Southwest Washington.
