2025-26 ACADEMY SESSIONS

The Youth Academy holds a Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer session during the USA Volleyball season, which begins September 1 of each year.  All sessions are held at the Sporting Chance Center. 

 

Each session during the school year offers 12 practices and meets twice a week.   The summer session offers 6 practices, meeting twice a week for the first three weeks in June.  While each session works on improvement from the previous session, athletes are not required to register in all of them.  Breaking the season up into smaller sessions allows young athletes to try out the sport and continue training if they enjoy it.
