Boys Youth
League Tryouts
Saturday, September 7th
Our Boys Youth Program competes in most of the NCVA Boys Power League Tournaments. This is a 3 1/2 month club season for 5th to 8th graders that are not ready to make a year commitment. This program promotes the basic fundamentals, skill development, team strategies and proper tactics of the game. Our goal is to provide a rewarding opportunity for our young players to learn self-discipline, team work, motivation, perseverance, and work ethic. It's our belief that these qualities will benefit our players throughout their lives
MVVC Youth League runs from Saturday, September 7th to Sunday, December 22nd. The program is designed for players of varying skill levels and for players playing multiple sports who can't commit to a year long season. This is perfect for players and parents who are just getting involved with the club experience. Whether it is your son's first time playing volleyball or he has past experience he will have a place to learn and compete at an appropriate instruction level.. Each team will have at least 10 players with one to two practices a week. Our goal is to place all players on a competitive team or a practice team.
MVVC has a dedicated practice facility with a TaraFlex™ floor. The floor system will be of the same material used at the National level training center. The flooring material has a 30% shock absorption to further protect our athletes from short and long term injuries, and a performance which more closely mimics collegiate hard wood surfaces.
We look forward to seeing you on September 7th!
