You practice in a gym, it's financed by parents, and you play in tournaments, just like everyone else. It's no different than basketball, softball, soccer, or any other AAU/travel/club team. There are girls that travel 60 miles each way to get to clubs in Lexington, Louisville, and Northern Kentucky. It's a commitment pure and simple, but it does get results. You travel to tournaments to play on the weekends from Jan-June, they are held just about everywhere.

One caveat. KHSAA requires that they not play in a school gym. So that knocks out using any local high schools for games. That leaves UPike, the EKy Expo Center, and the Knott County Sportsplex as the only possible venues for club volleyball within an hour and a half to 2 hour drive of Pike County I know some girls who drove to Huntington and Ashland to play club volleyball because that is the closest they could do it. Not for lack of interest in the area, for sure.
