Common Questions

Common Question?

Who will be my child's coach and what are their qualifications? We do our best to get coaches that have been coaching (See Volleyball: Coaches page for qualifications on the coaches listed). After your child is selected for a team you will have X amount of time to accept the commitment letter.

Parent Coaches: In the event we use a parent coach (coached at the Y or somewhere else besides a public school/private school) we will list their qualifications. New coaches get a mentor coach that helps them plan practices and practices at the same time.

We want our program to be successful and therefor we will monitor new coaches and provide training as needed.

Who is a Junior? All kids 8-19

Our teams try to practice twice a week. 1.5 hour practice during the week and a 1.5-2.0 hour practice on Sunday. We use North Middle School gym; some times we have to cancel a practice due to school programs. Tournaments are a minimum of 8 sets. Season Starts in Dec. with a break during Christmas, picks back up in Jan. Some teams try to practice over the break but that just depends on the team. Tournament play begins in Dec.-Jan. Most teams play in 5-8 tournaments. Again the number of tournaments is determined by the team and coach. We try to play in 2 Tournament a month.

We try to break it down as follows but it doesn't always work this way.

1-Jan (sometimes this Jan tournament is hard to get in)

1 or 2-Feb

2 or 3 March

0 to 2 April
