The Elite Program is designed for athletes who are ready for a higher level of commitment and competition. This program is for players we believe have a strong future in volleyball and who can balance academics, training, and travel responsibilities throughout the season.
This level includes a preseason from August to October, with two 1.5-hour practices per week. During this time, athletes will also receive 2 numbered practice shirts for use in the 5 mini tournaments included in the preseason.
Starting in November, the regular season begins and includes:
The Elite Program includes 10 tournaments, including AAU Nationals (4-day event), along with other 2-day and 3-day tournaments, qualifiers, and higher-level events. There is also a possibility of participating in USAV Nationals if the team earns a bid. Please note that USAV Nationals is not included in the program price and may cost approximately $250 per player.
Tournament schedules will be released later. Once provided, families are expected to block those dates and be available. At this level, many tournaments are Stay and Play, which means families must stay in tournament-approved hotels. This is a normal part of the Elite level. We also offer a VIP housing option. Hotel reservations for the season should be completed by the end of October or the beginning of November at the latest.
Please note that many 3-day tournaments take place during holiday weekends. For this program, those dates are considered competition time, not vacation time.
Uniforms are not included and must be purchased separately through our approved vendors.
