When North Pacific Juniors club director Adam Ellis decided to start a new club, he had dreams of creating a nationally recognized organization, but more so, a club that showed and shared his love and passion for the game, no matter what level. Fast forward to 2020, and the club's top-level 18's team is arguably the best in all of Oregon and maybe even the Pacific Northwest. They are the epitome of everything NPJ and Ellis are striving for, athletes committed to bettering themselves as players and people, striving for college volleyball careers and excellence. To understand how they got to this point, you have to understand Adam Ellis.
