Welcome to Eastview Juniors Volleyball!
We are looking to field five teams of 9 players each for our upcoming season. Our teams will include:
One or Two teams at U12s (4th/5th/6th grade)
Two or Three teams at U13/14s (7th/8th grade)
One team at U15/16s (9th/10th/11th grade)
Our teams practice twice each week for 1-1/2 to 2 hours preferably on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday evenings between 6:00pm and 9:45pm. The practice facilities we use are in Apple Valley, Eagan, Bloomington, and Burnsville.
Included in our program we offer positional clinics for setters, outside hitters, middle hitters, and liberos. These clinics are held one to two times each month from December to April on Friday evenings between 6:00pm and 9:30pm for 1-1/2 hours. Our positional clinics are led by coaches that either work in our JO program or have experience with college level volleyball for the position they are instructing.
The program fees for the upcoming season will be $675 for U12s and $800 for U13s and older. The fees cover tournaments, coaching, gym time, equipment, and uniforms. The fees are collected in four installments between November and March.
New this season are player owned uniforms - more to come about that at tryouts.
Our season starts with tryouts in November (dates to be determined). Players will be asigned to age groups after the initial tryouts and placed on teams after a few group practices. Practices will begin after tryouts in November with tournaments starting in January and continuing until the middle of April. Each team will compete in the power league at the Midwest Volleyball Warehouse and in four to six tournaments depending on age group.
We do NOT do individual fundraising with our club. Instead we host our Spring Dig tournaments in March. We require each player to provide 6 hours of volunteering at these tournaments. These hours can be fulfilled by the player and their parents or siblings age 12 and older.
