2024 Velocity Summer Leagues: 11u-15u
Our summer leagues are a great way for young athletes to continue to learn the game, while making good friends, and staying active! The summer league is primarily an indoor volleyball league, but each level 2-4 team will also have a couple beach volleyball introductory practices as well! After registering, each player will be contacted so that we can arrange a placement tryout to determine the correct level for them. The tryouts are for placement only, and nobody will be "cut" from a team. All other details are listed below!
Practice and Game Schedules
Each team will have an average of at least 1.5 games or indoor practices per week (beach practices are in addition to this). This will allow the teams in each level to play different opponents each game. The chart above lists a few possible times for each level. All events for that level will take place within those times. Below is a sample schedule to give you an idea of what this would look like!
Level 1 Sample Schedule
**Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from 4:15-5:30pm**
Week #1: Practice on Tuesday and game on Thursday
Week #2: Practice on Tuesday
Week #3: Game on Tuesday and practice on Thursday
Week #4: Game on Thursday
etc
As you can see in the sample schedule above, the schedule will vary from week to week, but all events will be during the times listed in the chart for each level.

REGISTRATION + PLACEMENT TRYOUTS
There are two options for registration. One option is to pay the tryout fee only, and the other is to pay the tryout fee and a deposit. We highly recommend paying both the tryout fee and the deposit, because that will guarantee your child a spot on one of the teams.
Tryouts can sound intimidating, but these ones won't be. Our tryouts are there to determine the best level for each player. We are not looking to "cut" anyone from a team, instead we are going to place each player at the most appropriate level.

TRYOUT FEE + DEPOSIT: If you choose to pay the tryout fee and the deposit, then your daughter or son still has to attend a placement tryout, but they are guaranteed a spot in one of the programs. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this option. In the past, we've had athletes miss out on a spot because they only registered for tryouts, and didn't accept their offer in time
|
TRYOUT FEE ONLY: Signing up for tryouts gives your son or daughter the chance to be evaluated and placed in a program. However, when a spot is offered, it is on a first-come, first-serve basis and the spot is not guaranteed. This is a good option for athletes who would only accept a spot if they made it into a certain program. For most players, we recommend paying the deposit as well to reserve a spot in one of the programs.

TRYOUT DATES
Once you register, we will work with you to find a tryout time that is convenient. The first couple dates are listed below, and another 1-2 dates will be added in late May.
- May 6th. 6:15-7:30pm
- May 6th. 7:45-9:00pm
- May 14th. 6:15-7:30pm
- May 14th. 7:45-9:00pm
PAYMENT PLAN
The payment plan allows each parent to have a lower upfront cost to allow more players to be able to participate.
Tryout Fee Only: If you have selected this option, if your son or daughter gets a spot on a team, then you will need to pay the full Fees Payment #1 that is listed for each level in the chart above. Again, we recommend paying the deposit as well because we've had players miss out on spots before because they didn't register fast enough after tryouts.
Tryout Fee + Deposit: If you have selected this option, then your son or daughter is guaranteed a spot on one of the teams. The tryout determines which level of team they will be assigned to. Once their level has been assigned, then the remainder of Fees Payment #1 is due. The deposit amount is $190, so if a player is assigned to level 1, then their Fees Payment #1 is fully paid. If an athlete is assigned to level 2, 3, or 4, then they will have to pay $85. The Fees Payment #1 is $275, and the deposit is $190, so the difference is $85.

FINANCIAL AID FOR FAMILIES IN NEED
Funding is available either through organizations such as KidsSport, or through our scholarship fund for families in need. Between our scholarship fund and through KidsSport, we will be able to cover part or all of the fees for families in need. We will not let financial barriers stop any young athlete from participating! Email us for more info.
