Coed Select Club Program ​

4th - 5th Grade Girls & Boys
---------------------------------------------------------

​

The Select Program is very similar to our Premier Program but is designed for younger athletes with shorter practices and lesser tournament dates. It is a great program to introduce a young athlete to what club volleyball is all about while introducing the sport and it's fundamentals in a fun and interactive way. This program is geared towards younger athletes who want to both learn and excel at the game of volleyball at a competitive level. A Select athlete is typically an athlete who is brand new to volleyball or may've played at their elementary school or in a park district camp.a seasoned veteran with years of experience as there are oftentimes different team levels per age group determined by skill. If a Select athlete chooses to continue their season through June, they are welcome to register for our Spring season which many athletes choose to do.
