Our Story

While many of you might think that Play 4 Him Volleyball is new, this program has actually been around since 2016 — the same year Play 4 Him Academy was founded. What began as a faith-based basketball organization in Fort Dodge quickly grew into a multi-sport community with one clear mission: to help athletes develop their God-given talents and use them to glorify Him both on and off the court.

Volleyball was one of the first programs to join that mission, offering players a place to compete fiercely, grow deeply, and play for a higher purpose. After a brief pause, Play 4 Him Volleyball has now officially returned —with practices now held at The Pavilion in Fort Dodge.

Our Mission

To build athletes who compete with excellence, serve with humility, and honor Christ in every aspect of the game. We believe that playing for Him changes everything — from how we train and communicate to how we celebrate and respond to challenges.

Core Values

• Faith First – Everything we do starts and ends with Christ at the center.

• Character Over Wins – Skills matter, but integrity matters more.

• Teamwork & Communication – Strong relationships make strong teams.

• Effort & Attitude – We can’t control the scoreboard, but we can always control our effort.

• Service & Leadership – We play to serve others and to make an impact beyond the court.

What We Offer

• Competitive Teams – Age-based teams that compete in local and regional tournaments.

• Quality Coaching – Faith-driven coaches who teach both fundamentals and heart.

• Skill Development – Practices focused on growing individual and team potential.

• Spiritual Growth – Devotions, mentorship, and team-building centered on God’s Word.

A Legacy of Purpose

From our first matches years ago to today’s growing program the mission has stayed the same: Play 4 Him. Whether winning, losing, learning, or celebrating, our athletes are reminded that their worth comes not from medals or stats — but from who they are in Christ.

We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited about where we’re headed. This is more than volleyball. This is a ministry in motion.
