Because boys start playing volleyball when they are older, we need your help in getting more younger players participating. Many of our players play just 1-2 years with us before they graduate. It’s up to all of you to help recruit your teammates (especially the younger ones) to play club volleyball this year.
Tournaments are either single-day events on Saturdays or multi-day events that span a weekend with tournament locations typically up to 1-2 hours from Hartford (1 way). Each team practices approximately 3.5-4 hours per week (depending on the availability of team members and gym time). Some practices may be cancelled due to weather or by discretion of the coach (usually right before or after a multi day tournament for "load management")
Boys teams will mostly be practicing at our 6 court facility in Newington however some team practices or strength sessions (if applicable) may be in our Windsor facility.
We also have a boys in house program that starts in December for players that are either not selected for a team or that prefer a lighter commitment (no tournaments, once a week practices). Registration for the in house program begins in November.
