Phoenix Volleyball : Powered by TeamLinkt

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide the highest level of dynamic coaching to athletes as possible across all our programs, while fostering and growing their love of the game in a fun and motivating environment. We want to challenge and inspire our athletes to succeed not only on the court as players but, also mirror the same integrity, sportsmanship, and empathy our coaches try to instill into their daily lives.

We have continued to grow and expand at a controlled pace that benefits our players first and foremost. We don't make teams just to have a team - we scrutinize and ensure our coaches meet a high set of standands to ensure our players continually develop and have a positive experience. If we do not have a coach that can meet our standards and expectations then we will not form a team for that age class - we would rather not have a team than have a team with a bad coach.

Season Duration

Our club season officially begins with practices early January and finishing with Nationals in May. Our awards banquet is held shortly after Nationals late May or early June.

TRYOUT INFO

Tryout fee is $30.00 for any one age-class session.
You are only required to register for one session per age-class; However, an evaluator may ask you to return to another session at no cost.
Athletes trying out for 16U and older should have previous playing experience.

Tryout sessions will be scheduled for early to mid December with additional sessions to be announced if required. 13/14UG tryout sessions may be scheduled to start late November.
