parents/guardians. This statement will include base fees listed above for each
team and any additional optional clothing or equipment ordered by player. Once
teams are formed, the first payment will be due at the parent/team meeting.
Traveling:
Colleges do most of their recruiting at Junior National Qualifiers.
Playing in National Qualifiers also
provides the opportunity to compete against some of the best teams in the
country. All of our teams, except the 12 and 13 Black teams, will play in the
Crossroads Junior National Qualifier in Denver.
The cost of these National Qualifiers are estimates, you will be billed based
on actual cost for each team. POST SEASON: It is every team’s goal to win a bid to the Junior Olympic
National Championships. Our secondary goal is to be in the top 10 of each age
group after Regionals .Any team that gets a bid to the National Championships must participate. Approximate cost
for travel, tournament fees, 12 practices and coaching salaries is
$875.00. Top 10 teams will go to a post season tournament if the majority of
team members agree to go; the cost is approximately $875.00. You will only be
billed for actual cost.
Fundraising:
Opportunities for fundraising will be available to all players.
Merchandise sales, and other fundraisers will occur throughout the
season. Sponsorships may also be used as fundraising. Scholarships are
available from Premier Volleyball Club for up to $200.00 per player based on
financial need. RMR/USAV will also have scholarships available to those
who qualify based on financial need. We also have a program where local companies
and organizations can provide financial assistance. All required
paperwork for individual hardship assistance must be submitted to Premier VBC
and the RMR office by January 15.

Team Structure:
Premier Volleyball Club coaches will look for
certain qualities when selecting teams. There will be 10 athletes on each team.
Athletes are chosen to create the most competitive team possible. Tournament playing time
is not guaranteed.
Tryouts:
All athletes will be evaluated on these basic skills:
passing, digging, setting, blocking, hitting, serving, and game play. Premier
Volleyball Club’s directors and coaching staff will do the evaluation and
make the final team rosters. The first tryout sessions are the most
significant for the athlete’s evaluation. You should try to attend both sessions
if at all possible. Some athletes can be offered a place on a team after the
first session. We know that some athletes will be trying out for other clubs,
if we offer you a slot on one of our teams; we will need a commitment within
24 hours. If you receive an offer from another club, check with a Premier
club director to see where you stand with us. Cuts are a difficult part of
competitive volleyball. Coaches will inform each athlete where they stand with
Premier VBC by letter or phone at the end of day two of tryouts.
Practices:
All teams will have 3 practices per week (may
change on weeks with travel or tournament conflicts). Practices will be held at the Arena Sports Facility.
Practice days and times will vary. Position specific clinics will be offered
by the coaching staff and guest coaches throughout the season for all teams.
Recruiting:
Premier Volleyball Club will actively showcase players who
are interested in college recruitment. Player information will be
distributed at all National Qualifiers that player participates in, as well
as direct contact with schools of interest.
A recruiting package has been developed and is available to any athlete who requests it.
Uniforms:
Mizuno and Switch Designs will be the official
outfitter for Premier Volleyball Club. The club registration fee will include the following for each athlete:
2 Mizuno Jerseys and 1 pair of spandex. For 12's teams: two jerseys and one pair of spandex.
Additional items may be purchased at additional costs. Supplementary club items for sale include: jackets,
duffel bags, socks, shoes, sweatshirts, and club T-shirts. Prices TBA.
Insurance Information:
It is the responsibility of each family to make sure that
their Premier Volleyball athlete has medical coverage. Your USA
Volleyball membership includes supplemental insurance. As with any
sport there are certain risks associated with participation. Premier
Volleyball Club will minimize these risks with proper sports equipment and
facilities. Premier Volleyball Club staff will maintain a safe
environment for your athlete, however, these risks cannot be eliminated
completely. All athletes are encouraged to complete a medical
examination prior to the volleyball season.
Playing Time:
Playing time is one of the top issues in all youth sports.
Premier Volleyball Club offers a competitive volleyball program
that tries to showcase its athletes on a national level. When
teams are selected it is based on putting the most competitive
team possible on the court. Every one on a team contributes to
the team’s success. Our practices are designed to help each
athlete develop and improve their skills as the season progresses.
It is the coach’s responsibility to put the athletes on court that
will produce positive results. Playing time is not guaranteed,
and is not always even. Team substitution and positions played
also impact playing time.
Sportsmanship:
Premier Volleyball Club takes pride in its staff and participants.
Sportsmanship is a strong part of that pride. Premier Volleyball
Club participants and spectators should show good sportsmanship at
all times. Parents, athletes, and coaches should not disrespect
any other clubs players, parents or staff. The coach and team
captain will be the only ones to address the officials regarding
calls and decisions. Spectators should only be respectful and
positive when cheering. Cheering loud is great but keep it positive.
Premier Volleyball Club includes more then one team, support and
cheer them all.
