Parkway Lightning Volleyball Club (PLVC) was formed during the fall of 1995 to promote junior volleyball in West St. Louis county.  Beginning with just three junior girls' teams, the club has steadily expanded each year and now includes teams that have successfully competed at the National level.

Parkway Lightning Volleyball Club is a competitive club with a main focus on developing strong people with a good sense of character. While volleyball is the reason the club’s athletes join together, a distinctive focus is placed into growing good humans as well. All PLVC coaches share this mentality and each team works towards developing both skilled volleyball players and empowered people.

The first letters of Parkway Lightning Volleyball Club are also the first letters of the Parkway High School mascots: 

South -    Patriots
West -     Longhorns
North -    Vikings
Central -  Colts
