Elite team:
- 6+ month commitment (December-June)
- mixed age-group team comprised of the most position-competent athletes
- will play in front of college scouts at the AAU Volleyball Nationals in Orlando, FL in June
- HUDL for analyzing video, creating highlights, and stat keeping
- (2) 2.5 hour, elite level trainings a week in Oscoda (December-February) (likely Wed. evenings/Sunday afternoon)
- (3) 2.5 hour, elite level trainings a week in Oscoda (March-June) ( 2, TBD weekday evenings/Sunday afternoon)
- 30 minutes of jump and agility training is incorporated into each training
- multiple pieces of high-quality training equipment
- (3) local West Branch tournaments, 18U division (Jan-Feb)
- (6) Sat. or Sat./Sun. open division tournaments in Mt. Morris, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Orlando (April-June)
- (2) jerseys, (1) Mizuno spandex, knee pads, and game socks, protective training gear
- projected cost will be broken into winter and spring payments (fundraising opportunities available)
Competition Team Member Estimates (based on 10 team members):
- Winter "Competition" Team Member: no more than $650 (depending on team configuration, tournament cancellation, protective training gear previously purchased by current members, etc., cost may decrease) * cost includes everything except travel, food, and spectator admission
- Spring "Competition" Team Member: no more than $600 (cost decreases if we do not go to AAU Nationals and/or another tournament) * cost includes everything except travel, food, and spectator admission
Training Team Member Estimates:
- Winter "Training" Team Member: $300 - purchase complete training gear, practice alongside competition team, potential tournament substitute for absent competition team member
- Spring "Training" Team Member: $300 - purchase complete training gear (if new to LHVBA Spring season), practice alongside competition team, potential tournament substitute for absent competition team member
**There is a high level of commitment for this team because most members aspire to earn a college scholarship. However, we are willing to work with winter/spring sport athletes if a player is a good fit for the team.
***If we cannot attract enough serious players to be able to compete at this level, we will become a 17U Regional team with a similar schedule minus a 2-day tournament and the Orlando, FL National Tournament. Our season will end with the AAU Grand Prix State Tournament in the Grand Rapids area June 4-5.
