13-14 Club Information

Our 13 and 14 & Under teams are ideally for those athletes who have been on a middle school team, or have played club volleyball previously. These age groups are mainly focused on skill development, as the foundations are key to successful play.

These age divisions will split up into three teams per age group. Our three teams will consist of local, regional, and national. Please find the following explanations below for the differences in each level. Only register for the HIGHEST level of travel and competition that your family is able to commit to.
