National Level Teams
Age Levels 13 - 18
Season: December-June
Training
National/National-Lite Teams:
3 practices a week. 2 of them are 2 hours each, the third is small group positional training with national coaches.
​​
​
National level is for athletes wanting to play on a 6 month team and who are wanting to train to play in college, High School varsity or a higher level. We will work with two- sport athletes, but we may ask players involved with our National teams to limit their participation to one additional activity or school sport outside of the travel volleyball season. This is to limit scheduling conflicts.

National/National-Lite Teams:
Uniforms will be ordered directly through Mizuno on their website this year. Cost of the required items in the package will be $TBD.
​
Players will be required to order the following:
​
2 long sleeve jerseys, 1 short sleeve jersey, 2 pairs of Mizuno spandex, backpack, hoodie, joggers.
