About Us
For the past ten years the Wave Volleyball Club has been dedicated to providing the finest club volleyball experience possible to every player and family involved with the "Wave". We strive to achieve that goal through top quality organization, small teams, discipline and punctuality from our players, reasonable fees, parent support, and most importantly - attracting and retaining an outstanding coaching staff that is expected to teach the fundamentals of the game to each and every player.
WAVE Volleyball Club Director -ED MACHADO
Ed Machado founded the Encinitas Volleyball Club and helped build the Fairgrounds Volleyball Center. Ed is committed to the long-term success of both the club and the center. "We have a great thing going at the center," said Machado. "Our coaching staff is as good as it gets, and we have a great group of players and parents. We're successfully competing at the national level. I'm not going anywhere. It's way too much fun walking into the center during practice. The atmosphere is unreal, and the energy and vibe is contagious. As a matter of fact, my long term goal is to build a permanent, four-court facility and have the best volleyball club in America."

High Quality Volleyball Coaching For Your Son or Daughter
The bottom line for every family is to whom they will be entrusting the welfare of their daughter or son. Our staff is as good as any in the country. We're all friends, and we all share information. Our goal collectively is to pass our knowledge and experience onto our players. That knowledge and experience includes: An Olympic Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medal, 19 years USA National Team experience, 11 NCAA Division 1 Championships, 53 years Division 1 playing experience, 16 years Division 1 Coaching experience, 7 Collegiate All-American awards, 2 Collegiate Hall-of-Famers, 2 "Open" and 3 "Club" Junior Olympic National Championships, 15 CIF High School Championships, 3 NBAChampionships, 8 Teaching Credentials, 7 Master's Degrees and 1 Ph.D.
Following the above formula, the Encinitas "Wave" is now recognized as one of the top clubs at the National level. We believe the true measure of success is the number of teams that can qualify each year for the Junior Olympic National Championships. Over the last three years the "Wave" has been one of the Top 5 clubs in all of Southern California in that regard, sending 21 teams to the Junior Olympics during that span.
