 Coach Heather Minnis (2005-present) and Coach Don Smith (2005-2015) began the Dynamite Volleyball Club in fall 2005 to offer volleyball players in the Dickson, TN, area an opportunity to continue to play volleyball after their school seasons had ended.  The club has continued to grow and has tryouts for girls from Dickson and its surrounding counties. Also, DVC offers volleyball skills clinics throughout the year for girls who want to learn the fundamentals of volleyball.
