Junior Club Volleyball is played throughout the United States and we are based on the New England Region of USA Volleyball. Our club plays both AAU and USA Volleyball Events.
Girls Junior Club Volleyball starts in early November for High School athletes and can be played year round. AVA’s programs start with tryouts in early November and run through late April/early May.
AVA Volleyball Club will offer 4 levels of teams: National, High Performance, Club, and House. Levels offered at each age group will vary based on team.
National – National Teams are our highest level of play and require the highest level of commitment from our athletes. National teams will play in a higher level in Boston Volleyball Festival and may travel out of region to 1 or more multi-day events.
High Performance – HP teams are for advanced athletes who want to train at a higher level and are expected to maintain a high commitment to the team throughout the season. The HP team will practice twice a week and play in primarily multi-day USAV tournaments in the New England area. Participating in multiple sports during the season will require approval from the Club Director/Coach.
Club – Club teams are for the athlete doesn’t want to commit to the more intense HP/National program. The Club team will practice once or twice a week and primarily only play in the single day tournaments.
House – House teams are for athletes who are just starting to play volleyball or don’t want to commit to a team but want to continue to hone their volleyball skills. House teams will practice once a week. House teams will not participate in any tournaments.
History
AVA was founded by Greg Geyer as a volleyball academy in 2014 focused on high level player development. In 2015 we added travel and ran two travel teams. Our travel program has grown steadily ever since. After 2017, the number of teams we field each season has been constrained by available coaches. If you are interested in helping out and joining this thriving community, please email greg@avavolleyball.com.
Tryouts involve evaluations by all AVA Coaches. Coaches are typically assigned to teams after tryouts. All teams typically have 10 to 12 players but there may be exceptions to this rule.
Starting in 2023, our travel team program is administered by Coach Ken Chen.
