Frequently Asked Questions
I’m a beginner. Where should I start if I haven’t played volleyball or have little experience?
Our Youth Academy is a great place to start. It is run on Sundays as a camp/clinic where you’ll get to learn the fundamental skills and foundations of the sport!
Which teams require tryouts?
Our National, Power, and Premier teams all require tryouts.
What are the differences between National, Power, and Premier Programs?
Our National Program is our highest level of competition. National teams travel to qualifiers and elite invitational tournaments with the goal of qualifying for Junior National Championships & to provide our athletes with multiple recruiting opportunities. Playing time is not guaranteed to any athlete. Club Fees include Hudl Video Technology (14's & Older), Athletic Training, & Recruiting Support.
Our Power Program is a competitive program that provides athletes the opportunity to compete at a high level of competition with less out of area travel. Power teams also participate in qualifiers & regional events. While playing time is not guaranteed in every match, athletes can expect playing time at every tournament.
Our Premier Program focuses on developing players’ skills and knowledge of the game. The majority of tournaments are local in the greater Sacramento area. Playing time is important to development, so each athlete sees the court during each match, providing guaranteed playing time for all athletes.
When/How long is the club season?
The Girls Club Season starts in December for all levels. Power and Premier teams end their season in early May. National teams may extend their season through USAV or AAU National Championships in late June/early July.
The Boys Regular Season starts in August and runs through December/January. Then, after a break for school seasons, the Summer season starts in May and runs through late June/early July.
When are tryouts for Club Teams?
15’s-18’s Girls Teams Tryouts take place near the end of July. All athletes in or about to start High School should try out then.
10’s-14’s Girls Teams Tryouts are in Mid October
Boys Regular Season Tryouts are in Mid August
Boys Summer Season Tryouts are in early May.
What is the difference between In-House and Juniors? How are they different than National/Power/Premier?
Our In-House and Juniors programs are separated by age. In-House programs are 13+ and Juniors are 12U. These programs are different than our National/Power/Premier Programs based on the amount that they practice and the tournaments they compete in. In-House and Juniors programs will only compete against one another while our National/Power/Premier teams will compete against other clubs in the NorCal Region and beyond.
