Teams will consist of 9 - 11 players.  Teams are kept small in order to amplify their skill sets in every player.  Our coaches will select teams that are based on skill level, and/or team positions on the court (Setters - MB/OH - Libero/DS, etc. and communication).  We assign players within teams that they will have the best chance of individual/team success. 

Opportunities for playing time at tournaments will always be given at practice where most of the athletes' learning is taking place.  Everyone on the team will not have equal playing time.  Playing time will be earned and will be the discretion of the coach.  Playing time is also evaluated by the commitment of the player, if too many practices are missed, this may lead to less playing time in tournaments.

If there is a question on playing time, please contact Keith Leon our Asst. Director & Communications Coordinator.  You are always welcomed to discuss issues with the Club Director, also.  We will set up a time to meet after the tournament and can setup an appt with the team coach.
