In recent years, sports club activities have been regarded as a problem from the viewpoint of reform of teachers' working style, corporal punishment, and expectations for local sports clubs have increased instead. In this study, we focussed on a volleyball club of an NPO in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture. The purpose of this study was to introduce the outline and activities of this club team, and to help future junior sports activities by mainly surveying the satisfaction of the players. We conducted an online questionnaire survey of club staff and players. As a result, the club was engaged in various activities with the aim of not only improving athletic performance but also building social skills. The players who belonged to the club responded that they were able to not only improve their volleyball skills but also gain social skills such as communication skills as a result of the club. Furthermore, the players' overall satisfaction with the club was high. In addition, "content of practice" and "coach's instruction" were identified as factors determining the level of satisfaction. In order to increase satisfaction with the club, it is important to focus on these factors. We would like to continue to feature clubs with attractive activities in the future.
