Why Maryland Juniors?
Maryland Juniors Volleyball Club (MDJRS) is a non-profit organization founded by Club Director Xiangrong (Sean) Liu in 2004 with just three teams. Since then, MDJRS has grown into one of the largest and most respected elite volleyball training clubs in Maryland.
Our mission extends beyond providing opportunities to play volleyball. We are committed to developing well-rounded athletes through high-quality coaching, strong technical fundamentals, and purposeful training. By fostering a positive and competitive environment, Maryland Juniors provides each athlete with the guidance, support, and resources needed to build confidence, develop their skills, and reach their full potential both on and off the court.
We understand families have choices when selecting a club volleyball program. We also understand that club volleyball requires a significant commitment of time, energy, and financial resources. At Maryland Juniors, we are committed to exceeding expectations by creating an experience that is:
