How many teams can I have in one club?

This is pulled directly from the 2009-2010 LoneStar USAV handbook. I'm not sure why the restrictions on two teams in a division other than one club probably doesn't need to be that big ;)

Clubs or associations having more than one registered team must designate one person to serve as its representative. This person will be responsible for all matters concerning the entire organization. Adult clubs/associations may have no more than two teams registered within each division of play, I.e., two men’s ―A‖:, two women’s ―A‖, two women’s ―BB‖, etc. [Jr's info redacted] In either case, each team may not exceed twelve active players without prior approval of the commis-sioner. Upon registering the thirteenth player, a new team must be formed.

There are definitely advantages to having two teams in one club.  A single person does most of the organizational work, so you can leverage someone that is administratively competent.  You can buy uniforms in bulk (usually) to get discounts. It is possible to split court costs for practices, if your team has them.  Teams can lend players across each other, as long as they're in the same division, so that both teams can make a tournament -- or even that one mixed-bag team can have enough players to make a tournament.
