FAQS and Player Levels

We are a USAV affiliated youth volleyball program.  Our program is for boys and girls ages 10-17.  80% of our players are girls and 20% are boys.  Our competitive teams this year are for girls only.  Players Age 10 (5th grade and up) may only play in the younger beginner sessions if they are highly athletic and signing up for the full Fall 1 & 2 Session.  Otherwise, we will add additional age 10 sessions depending on gym availability.

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.

You may withdraw from a clinic a week before it begins for a $50 fee ($75 with less than one week). No refunds once the session begins. We cannot refund for missed sessions. 

We cannot refund for missed sessions.  If you let us know in advance, we can usually offer a makeup session. Makeup sessions are only allowed in the same session, i.e. your child signed up for Fall 1. She cannot makeup a session in Fall 2. 

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 USAV chart.

Please do not overestimate your child's ability.  We frequently have requests from parents to have kids play in older, more competitive groups; however, if your child is not an absolute star, I will then hear from the parents in the older group, that their child wants to move to the next group.  

Use the chart below to determine what level your child is.  If your child cannot serve the ball over the net, they are still a beginner.  

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.
