Welcome to the Swarm
They said we can’t.
So we did.
Lake Norman Swarm is a competitive 13U & 14U girls volleyball club for athletes who are ready to train harder,
dig deeper, and rise above average.
We’re not here for participation trophies. We’re here to build girls who lead, swing big, and learn how to earn everything — through effort, intensity, and team-first mentality.
We support Multi-Sport Athletes and Collaboration Over Competition.
Our MIssion
At Lake Norman Swarm, our mission is to empower girls through volleyball — by developing strong fundamentals, stronger minds, and an unshakable belief in their potential.
We coach for confidence, discipline, and character. We create a space where girls learn how to lead, how to lose, and how to bounce back better — because winning means nothing if you’re not growing.
We believe that when a girl learns to compete with courage, lead with purpose, and own her role, she becomes unstoppable — on the court and far beyond it.
Want your daughter to grow as an athlete and a leader?
The Swarm Mentality
Our mindset sets us apart. Here’s what we live by:
No Excuses
The work speaks louder
than words.
No Playing It Safe
Comfortable doesn’t
win.
Donec urna magna,
dignissim a leo quis, sodales posuere eros. Integer faucibus mi non interdum venenatis.
Push Past Limits
Do the hard thing. Every time.
Lift Each Other Up
Stronger together.
Never Settle
Keep proving them wrong.
Anything is Possible
We fight. Every point. Until the whistle.

For Parents
What This Program Does for Your Daughter
As a parent, you want your daughter to be more than just a player. You want her to grow — through challenges, setbacks, and success. You want her to find her voice, earn her confidence, and push her limits. At Swarm, we coach her through all of it.
We:
• Mentor girls through growth — not just performance
• Expect mistakes — and show them how to learn from them
• Give honest, encouraging feedback that sharpens skills and mindset
• Support multi-sport athletes and create space for all-around development
• Build leadership, effort, and accountability in every player
• Focus on winning and learning — because one without the other isn’t enough
We’re not just training better athletes, We’re raising strong daughters.
