If you are new to JO/club volleyball, it can be confusing when shopping for the best fitting club. Just make sure when you are comparing our programs--match them against appropriate area programs, so you're comparing apples: apples.

Our top level program is called "BLACK" and is $800. (Compare it to an area ZONAL program which is $1800 or an area Level 1 program which is $1487). Our BLACK teams will attend 4 Regional tournaments, a Regional Champs tournament and 3 larger regional tournaments (Quest, Queens City & Shamrock). Our BLACK teams will practice 2-3x/week for two hours (on non-tournament weeks).

Our 2nd level program is called "TEAL or WHITE" and is $550. (Compare it to an area REGIONAL program of $1000 or an area Level 2 program which is $1148). Our teams will attend 5 Regional tournaments and a Regional Champs tournament. Our Teal and White teams will have 2 practices/week for two hours (on non-tournament weeks).

Both of our program prices include facility fees, coaching, 1 jersey (BLACK receives 2 jerseys), 1 practice t-shirt, back pack, referee training & certification, Strength & Conditioning with a certified trainer, ALL tournament entry fees & ALL of the coaches travel fees associated with tournaments! (Confirm if other club program fees INCLUDE all tournament entry fees & your coaches' travel/coaching fees, as these are large costs!)

Our players are required to have a Y Membership (from Nov 1-Mar 31) which is $24/month or $120/season.
