17U Girls Club Volleyball in Wood Dale, IL
2026-2027 season. Tryout Saturday, November 7, 2026.
Team Illinois Volleyball is a small, family-first girls club volleyball program at Wood Dale Park District. Families drive in from Elgin, Streamwood, Carol Stream, Bartlett and Hanover Park, and some come all the way from Evanston and Chicago, because they want a club where their daughter is known by name, gets real coaching and still loves the game in March.
