Our Season at a Glance

Evaluations

Evaluations are conducted in alignment with the WBLVA Player Evaluation and Team Placement Policy, which is available for review by all members at the following link: https://www.whitebearvolleyball.org/boarddocs.

Practices

Teams practice twice per week (typically these slots occur Monday - Thursday between 6pm and 9pm) for 90 minutes at a White Bear Lake area school. Practices focus on building and refining the basic skills needed for all volleyball players, and progressing to developing advanced skills, rotations, and positional development, as appropriate based on individual and team readiness. Practices begin the first full week of December.

Competition

Competitions occur on the weekends, primarily in the Twin Cities metro area. Competitions may be comprised of a multi-day tournament format and others will be a single half-day playdate. We try our best to offer all teams one out of town tournament (within a 2-3 hour drive of the cities) so teammates and families can explore a new city, get to know each other better with a hotel stay, and have some good fun. 


2026 Bear Blast Tournament

2026 Bear Blast dates have just been finalized - March 28th & 29th.
