National Teams

 

Our national teams are our highest level teams. They are made up of experienced players who want to play volleyball at the highest level. During the season that means that national teams will compete in the Open division, or the highest division, for tournaments and will attend multiple *national qualifiers throughout the season. Each national team will also attend the Jr. National Championship in June or a tournament equivalent to the Jr. National Championship. Players who play at the national level have the goal to be recruited and to play in college.

 

​National teams are a talent and merit based team. That means athletes are expected to have the mental toughness and discipline to practice, play and be a part of a team that is focused on improving and attaining excellence. In order to do that, athletes must be committed to attending all practices and all tournaments. National teams are not for all athletes. It requires more practice time, a positive mindset, and the desire to perform at the highest level as an athlete.

​

Each national team has a head coach and assistant coach to give your athlete the most feedback and positive reps possible. Our coaches are carefully selected for the national teams.  They have high level experience both as players and coaches. Some are past Division I All-American volleyball players, past professional players or past university coaches. They are highly qualified professionals.

​

National teams compete against teams that are the same level, and travel to various Jr. National Qualifying tournaments with the goal of competing the Jr. National Championship each year. National qualifying tournaments are often on weekends and Sunday play is required. 

​

Athletes selected for National teams will commit to paying and going to all the predetermined *national qualifying tournaments. If a player cannot commit, they will not be selected for the team.
