SC Midlands History

SC Midlands Volleyball Club formed when the directors of South Carolina Juniors (established in 2002), and Midlands Volleyball (established in 2009) united their clubs. The leadership consisted of longtime directors of South Carolina Juniors, Cynthia and Glen Dimapan, as well as former USC Head Volleyball Coach Ben Somera, and former USC and Oregon State University Head Coach Nancy Somera. The team joined forces to provide a club experience that would surround players with the values that have brought them success as players and coaches.
