This year, as a result of COVID-19, the High School and Club Volleyball seasons will run simultaneously for the second half of the season. This impacts the coaching staff and the players, as most of our Head Coaches also coach High School programs. Although we have met with many of the local High Schools, to a large extent, it is unknown how the two entities will work together. It is also not clear if there will be a High School Volleyball program this year. As a result, we are scheduling our U15-U18 season in two parts- a first half-season, which will run from November through February 15th, and a second half-season that will run from February 15th through May 31st. We anticipate the second half-season to look and feel much different from the first half-season. At this time, Player Fees for the U15-U18 programs will be for the first half-season only. We will reevaluate in January and set the format and fees for the second half-season when more information is known.
