PRACTICES

11-1s will practice Monday and Wednesdays 5:00 – 7:00.
11-1s will travel locally and regionally to find “matched event competition.”

We will be working with other local and regional clubs to learn which clubs and events will create 11U teams.
The team will travel upwards of 1.5 hours for “matched competition” and may need to play in 12s division at select events.

Our 11s and 12s teams and coaches will be supervised and mentored by Rhythm Volleyball Academy Youth Program Coordinator, Dee Freise.

COACHES

We are pleased to share that each Rhythm team will have 2 coaches on each team. At the 11s age division, RVA will be offering 1 team (111)

CLUB DUES

Rhythm fee structures vary based upon commitment level. The financial responsibility of team operations are distributed equally within the team roster of 10 or 11 players. The “all in” fees offset the following operating expenses…


Coach Compensation – salaries for coaches, background checks, USA Volleyball Safe Sport training and professional development.
Court Time – all team practices, competition and all other team court activities.
Event entry – club dues pay for ALL teams’ tournament entry fees.
● Custom REN Uniform Package and practice attire.
Administrative Related Expenses – Those fees are shared in proper proportion depending on a team’s length of season.

Club dues are paid in installments over the course of each team’s season. Upon a team commitment,
athletes will be expected to make a non-refundable deposit towards their fees by established commitment day

SCHEDULE

11-1 will play in 4 local events which may require travel upwards of 2 hours. The process of creating the 11U schedule will be an on-going one throughout the fall of 2024 as RVA will need to discover which clubs and events will host 11U teams and divisions.

We would prefer to enlist our team into 11U events but may have to schedule 12U events to find suitable competition in a fair distance from RVA. The 12U division is traditionally the youngest age division most event hosts provide. But many times, club programs try to work together to align a synergetic approach to building 11U divisions and event
