Spring Program
(Co-Ed 10U - 12U; Girls 13U - 18U)
---------------------------------------------------------
​
Our Aggression Spring Program is designed as a way for current athletes to extend their club season and/or for new athletes to try an abbreviated season of volleyball in a club environment. Our Spring Program is typically a bit more laid back in that there are fewer tournaments and the season is shortened thus requiring less of a time commitment for our athletes and families. The Spring Program is a great way to introduce an athlete to the club volleyball world before committing to a longer fall/winter season. The program is very heavily geared towards skill and position training so younger athletes can obtain a working knowledge of the game. Unlike the YOUTH Spring Program, this program will utilize the first week of practice to form teams based on skill and athleticism, though tryouts are not necessary. Please note that some athletes will be invited to play up an age level if appropriate.
