What are training groups?
Training Groups are our "stepping stone" program for athletes that are just getting started in their volleyball journey. Training group athletes are selected through tryouts which means that there is a high baseline level of play amongst each group.
As opposed to our travel teams, the training groups train twice a week and only participate in local San Jose tournaments. This minimizes the program costs but maximizes the athletes training experience.
Local Training Groups (Aug - Dec)
-
Practice 1x a week (Saturday or Sunday)
-
Participate in two local tournaments
-
In-House tournament (late Dec)
-
The Grass Man (September)

What is the schedule for club volleyball?Boy's club volleyball is one season that is split into two different parts: the "Fall" portion and the "Summer" portion. There is a break in the club volleyball season because boys high school volleyball is a Spring sport. FALL: Fall season tryouts are in early August. The season runs from August - early January. Teams practice 2-3 times a week as a team during the Fall season. In addition, coaches send 2-3 players from their team to club run 2-hour Setters practices, Pin Hitters practices, and Middles/Liberos practice on weeknights. Teams compete regionally in the Northern California Volleyball Association (NCVA) Power League (5-6 tournaments in the Nor Cal area). Teams compete in 1-2 National Qualifier tournaments in varying locations during the month of January. SPRING: There is a break in the club volleyball season during the boy's high school season (February - Mid May). High School age teams (15's - 18's) will not practice during this time frame. Our middle school teams (14's - 12's) will have clinics and periodic team practices during this time frame. SUMMER: Summer season tryouts are mid May. The season runs from May - early July. Teams practice 4-5 times a week and compete in two National tournaments. A 3-day tournament in Anaheim, and a 4-day tournament in Orlando, Florida for the 2023 AAU Junior National Championships.
