REC:

FULL as of 11/08/2024 @ 9:05 pm

REC teams will consist of players who want to train and scrimmage internally and compete with teams that come to our location. During the rest of the time, they will train and scrimmage our Travel teams with mixed balance teams to keep the competition fair.

We will have 4 teams that will be divided by SKILL LEVEL, not age. This is because we will be accepting grades 8-12 and will not know how many per age group we will have until practice starts. We have our first few practices to assess which team your athlete belongs to and they may be moved to different teams throughout the season based on progress. 

The pricing is very competitive:

$1700.00 for REC LEAGUE

Pricing includes coaches’ stipends, gym rental, and two T-Shirts for each player. Players must provide their own spandex, proper footwear, and kneepads.

TRAVEL:

Players MUST register and attend tryouts to be considered for Travel teams. Players who want to participate in REC volleyball if they do not make a Travel team should sign up for REC now and then register for tryouts. We will move those players if they make a Travel team. 

Travel teams will scrimmage internally against REC as well as attend one major tournament a month. We will attend tournaments up to 4-5 hours away max. Players and their families must pay for their own hotel rooms during travel. Athletes must stay with their parents in the hotel. 

We will be running four teams this year: one 14s, 15s, 16s, and 17s team. 

$2200.00 for TRAVEL

Pricing includes tournaments, coaches’ hotel, coaches’ stipends, gym rental, and 2 uniforms and a backpack for each player. Players must provide their own black spandex, proper footwear, and kneepads.

Parents or guardians must travel with their players and are responsible for booking and paying for their own hotel rooms. Players must stay with their parents/guardians and parents/guardians will be responsible for their players on travel tournaments.

We will travel under the AAU banner, not USAV. As usual, if it is in your purview, we encourage you to try out for travel club, especially if you want to compete at more tournaments across the region. The beautiful part about our program is that if you want to participate in other sports or activities, you can! Here are some real-world examples from last year: You want to play basketball? Cool! You want to be part of the debate team? Awesome! You want to be in the school or community play? Amazing! If you can balance the schedule, we will be flexible. With a lower level of tournament commitment, kids can do other things during club season especially if your child is not looking to play in college.

In reference to scholarships, Coach Floyd is our recruiting coordinator and if anyone is interested in playing at the club level in college (community college or division II or III), he can help guide you. This is a free service we offer as part of your club fee. There are no guarantees, but you can get the experience from Coach Floyd & our staff - having coached college volleyball for 10 plus years as well as having helped to send 50+ kids to school on scholarship including our own players, we know a thing or two about the process :)

We hope this gives you an overall view of what we are trying to achieve this year with this hybrid program. As stated before, we are all about developing well-rounded young adults. We will develop a great volleyball player, and, in the process, we will mold them into amazing people with the help of our awesome coaches/mentors.

If you know you would like to play for us this 2024-2025 season no matter what, please register for our REC program to GUARANTEE your spot within our program. If your player makes a Travel team, after registering for REC, we will collaborate with you to switch your registration over to the Travel Team they have made and how you can pay the difference. 

For any additional questions you may have about our programs, please reach out to our Club Director Imani Gabrielle a.k.a. Rainbow at evolutionvb360@gmail.com

Take care and see you on the court!
