These are our highest level boys volleyball teams. Most of our U15-U18 Open athletes are stand-out varsity level players who are making huge impacts for their high school programs. Athletes in contention for these roster spots typically display impressive physical capabilities (i.e. height, vertical jump, lateral quickness, etc.) and an understanding of systematic volleyball, especially at the U16-U18 levels. Many athletes from our prior Open level teams are currently playing college volleyball at the NCAA Division I, II, III, or NJCAA levels. Many of our current Open athletes are pursuing opportunities to play volleyball in college or are actively speaking with college coaches. Open Teams will be traveling out of the region on numerous weekends throughout the season, as well as competing in the highest division within our region in order to provide the most exposure to high-level competition. Team rosters will be limited to 10-11 athletes in order to enhance each athlete's experience, so this program requires the highest level of commitment.* *We are flexible with our U14-U15 athletes playing multiple sports, as we know it’s extremely beneficial to your athletic development. Playing multiple sports can work for the U16+ athletes but only with very good upfront communication and planning. Any U16+ athletes who are considering playing a high school winter or spring sport MUST consult with the Club Director before making the commitment to a Club or Open team. The expectation is that club volleyball commitments, especially tournaments, will be prioritized over winter or spring high school sports, and we will require you to meet with your high school coach to ensure your commitment to your NEVBC team can be upheld.
