Evaluations

We initiate our season with an evaluation/tryout process. At that time, the coaching director and board determine the teams that the organization will carry for the season, and a thorough tryout process leads to team placement.

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.
