Volleyball General Program Operations
Season Structure
The Next Level Volleyball season runs with various program dates over the schedule. Schedules vary by location based on facility and staff availability.
Grade-Based Organization
Players compete within their designated grade level. We do not allow participants to "play down" by any grade level.
Practice & Game Schedule
All practices and games are on the SAME DAY. This consolidates commitment to a single 2-hour weekly window, with practice occurring immediately before the game.
Coaching Structure
Each team receives a high school or college student-athlete as Head Coach/Mentor. Parent volunteers assist rather than lead, enabling student-athletes in their coaching role.
Uniforms & Equipment
Uniforms ship via USPS to home addresses provided. All volleyball equipment will be provided. Players should wear athletic shoes appropriate for indoor or outdoor play depending on the venue.
Program Philosophy
No prior volleyball experience is required. Next Level is always a "one trophy" league, believing competition balanced with player/character development better serves youth athletes.
