Fall Launch Teams (Grades 5-8)
Fall Launch Teams (formerly Fall Club) are a great stepping stone into more serious club programs, as athletes get the experience of team training and tournament play with less time and financial commitment. All athletes will learn fundamental skills, how to be a great teammate, and how to play the game of volleyball in a fun, encouraging environment.
Athletes who register for the Fall Launch Placement Day will receive an automatic placement in the Fall Launch Skills Program. If they are not placed on a team, you will get to choose which day you wish to participate in the skills class.
Winter/Spring Launch Teams (Grades 5-12)
Our Winter and Spring Launch Teams (grades 5-12) are a great stepping stone into more serious club programs, as athletes get the experience of team training and tournament play with less time and financial commitment. All athletes will learn fundamental skills, how to be a great teammate, and how to play the game of volleyball in a fun, encouraging environment.
