Junior Elite is designed for athletes moving into a higher level of competition. This program introduces players to more advanced events, including both AAU and USAV-sanctioned tournaments.

From August to October, athletes will participate in preseason training with:

• 2 practices per week
• 1.5 hours per practice
• 2 numbered practice shirts included
• 5 mini tournaments during preseason

Beginning in November, the regular season starts and includes:

• 2 team practices per week
• 2 hours per practice
• Same location and coach
• 1 additional weekly strength and agility session at Lake Nona Performance Club in Lake Nona

This program includes 10 regular tournaments, most of them 2-day events, plus AAU Nationals in June.

At this level, athletes must purchase two memberships, both separate from registration fees:

• AAU Membership — approximately $26 (registration opens August 15)
• USAV Membership — approximately $70 (registration opens September 1)

These memberships are required for athletes to practice and compete. Please make sure to purchase them within the correct registration window to avoid buying the previous season’s membership.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Uniforms are not included and must be purchased separately through our online store.
