ACHIEVEMENT BY COMMITMENT AND EXCELLENCE

ST. LOUIS METRO VOLLEYBALL CLUB

FEES, COACHES

 

Welcome to the St. Louis Metro Volleyball Club.  It is our desire to make this a positive experience for you and your daughter/son.  You will be notified at the end of the try-outs if your child has made the club.

We will field multiple teams based on the availability of qualified coaches and the number of interested girls..  All coaches are volunteers and are generally not compensated for their efforts.  It is a good idea for you and your child to discuss if you wish to accept a position on the team prior to having been offered a position.  There are a few things to take into consideration when making your decision, such as; can this club and team meet my child's needs?  Can we, daughter and parent(s), meet the time and financial requirements of the Club and team.

While the number of practices and tournaments may vary with each team, as a parent and player you can expect practice 1-2 times per week, 2-6 hours per week.  Our teams practice in the South City and South County area.  Attendance at clinics for officiating and scorekeeping are required for each player.  Tournament play normally consists of a minimum of 8 in town tournaments and 2 out of town tournaments.  Tournaments generally run on weekends, one or two days. *Note: It is important to remember that the number and type of tournaments will vary depending on the coach and team.  Our usual sites for out of town tournaments include Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky, Iowa, Missouri and Florida.  Tournament play will begin in January and end in July.

St. Louis Metro Volleyball Club prides itself on the development of players.  Our coaches are dedicated to the betterment of the player and the game of volleyball.  The goal of St. Louis Metro Volleyball Club is to aid players in their pursuit to play Volleyball at the high school and college level.
