What is Recreational Volleyball?
Recreational volleyball knows the basics of volleyball, but is just beginning to bump, set, and spike.
What is Club Volleyball?
Club volleyball provides a competitive level of play for girls who are interested in improving their skills and gaining the experience necessary to play in high school or middle school-sponsored activities.
Families pay to join a volleyball club that arranges for team practices, coaches, uniforms, insurance, and other items, and also for tournaments that the team will play in, competing against other clubs.
A club may have one total team or many, and may have one team per age level, or multiple.
A tryout is an assessment of the athlete’s ability and skill level, how well an athlete learns from instruction, and how well they play with others. Each club determines its own teams and members as well as tournament and travel schedule; some travel a great deal while others stay more local.
