FAQS and Player Levels

This year we are continuing to expand our options from last year. In addition to our clinics, we are offering a developmental team—a more accelerated option for players who want to learn position play and to improve faster. We will try to arrange at least one competition per month from October to May against a local volleyball club.

The team is a low-competitive option that helps players develop their skills faster than just clinics. We will practice three times a week and will function as a regular team. Throughout the year we will scrimmage against local clubs and focus on learning positions and rotations. At this point, we do not plan to travel for competitions outside of Montgomery County. 

Clinics and teams are coed (though if we end up playing any official tournaments, age and gender restrictions will apply). Players would then also need to pay for uniforms, travel, and tournament fees.

Players who want to play on the team should register for one of the weekend team clinics and both the Tuesday and Thursday team sessions.

The main factor in pricing is our coaches. Our team consists of coaches who are certified teachers and experienced coaches in MCPS. We do not hire high school students as coaches.

While other clubs frequently have one coach for every 24 players, we are proud that we typically have at least one certified coach for every 12 players, and our early bird rates are still 20% lower than most clubs in our area.

You may withdraw from a clinic a week before it begins for a $50 fee. No refunds once the session begins. We cannot refund for missed sessions or because your child believes he/ she is better than the other players in his/ her group.

We follow the MCPS weather cancellations.  If we have to cancel a clinic due to inclement weather, we will try to schedule a makeup session. We cannot offer refunds of single sessions due to inclement weather. 

Please consult the following chart.

Please use the chart below to determine what level your child is.  We often will combine multiple levels together so we can move players when appropriate.  We cannot guarantee that a clinic will have multiple star/ varsity players. We do not issue refunds because your child thinks he/ she is better than the other players.
