Description The program is for adults age 19 and up. We are planning for a rolling 6 week schedule. With one 2 hr practice per week and 2 weekend tri-match competitions. Individuals can join as "free agents" or groups of 8 may join as a team. Free agents will go thru try-outs and selected for groups of 8 for practice and teams. This is a "serious" but fun program. Keep it fun, we intend for this to be good volleyball at the right level. The seasons are short just 6 weeks and it might take a season or two to find the right team or group of people. $145/person.
Individuals Individuals who do not have a team may join as free agents and be placed with a group to practice and play together. You may also want to organize a team. Individuals can select time slots that are available. Let us know if you are interested in being a team captain! Teams will have 2-3 Outsides, 2-3 Middles and 2-3 Right Sides (Op/S).
Teams: Teams may join as a group. 8 players to a team is optimal. Two teams will practice and scrimmage together. Teams can select time slots that are available.
Level of Play The level of play will range from B, BB, A, AA and we will have both Men's and Women's teams. For a point of reference A level should be a good collegiate level of play, perhaps a low NCAA division I team.Keep in mind this is graded on a curve. Two teams will be paired to practice of similar levels. So well have B/BB practice and BB/A practice courts. We will start with B/BB groups and advance to form higher levels as the season continues.
Schedule The season will start ASAP. And will continue with a rolling 6 week schedule. This means individuals and teams can sign-up for 6 week at a time. With the 6 week schedule we can offer more options. Additional time slots and teams may be offered as needed. Levels and Men/Women teams may also change as needed. Competitions will be on Saturday mornings or afternoons. Additional times may be available especially if teams are formed and are looking for a specific time for practice.
