2021-2022 GIRLS CLUB TEAM PROGRAMS
|
Club volleyball is a way for young athletes to learn the skills, mental drive, and love for the game of volleyball. Pioneer Valley strives to challenge its athletes to achieve their goals and provide a fun, fair, environment to learn the game. Pioneer Valley Volleyball Club is open to all interested players of all ability levels. Teams will be formed based on player ability and commitment levels.
We are excited to announce a revamping of our Club Team Programs based on feedback of our members! See a breakdown of our team levels in the table below that includes our new Girls National Elite team option along with updated Open, Hybrid, and Regional team offerings. |

CLUB TEAM PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
GIRLS NATIONAL ELITE
National Elite teams are the most competitive team option and made up of the elite and more experienced players in the area. These teams will practice twice weekly and will play against the highest level of competition. Girls National Elite teams will have access to speed, agility, and strength training opportunities along with additional position-specific workshops.
GIRLS OPEN
Open teams are geared toward the more serious player. Open teams will practice one to two times weekly and will play against a higher level of competition and in more tournaments than the Girls Regional level.

GIRLS HYBRID
Hybrid teams practice once per week like our Girls Regional teams though they attend many of the same tournaments as our Girls Open teams. The skill level is generally more advanced than our Girls Regional level and can be a good fit for players that have other schedule commitments or may not be fully ready for the Girls Open level.
