The Edge Volleyball Club's Middle School Program

Edge athletes jumping in excitement as a team after a great volleyball play

Train Like A Champion

Unleash the best athlete you can be

The Middle School Program is designed for 5th through 8th graders looking to learn the ins and outs of the game. The athletes will be trained in multiple skills as well as focusing on one to two specific position(s) that suit them. They will be taught overarching game knowledge as well as execution of core skills and techniques. Athletes will get to display their skills in tournaments around the area as well as an out of town travel tournament (8th Only). Athletes will have the opportunity to try again in the spring to be taken to a national tournament. Our middle school program also offers strength training, vertical training, and conditioning throughout the entire season.

The Details

The Middle School Program runs September to March with another tryout in March. This Spring tryout will determine which athletes we will be taking to a national tournament in Phoenix, AZ or Orlando, FL. We will select athletes for one 13U and one 14U team to take to this tournament. Athletes who are not selected for the national teams have the opportunity to play with us for a Spring Season and attend local tournaments.
All athletes must have current AAU and USAV memberships to participate in practices or tournaments.
The Edge Volleyball Club will purchase full season USAV membership on behalf of your athlete. Once purchased you will receive documents to sign to complete your registration. If this is not completed by October 15th (Fall Season) then the cost of the membership will be added to your club fees.

Why The Tryout in March?
As you know, there is a TON of learning and growth at the middle school level. Athletes who may have come into the program in September with very little knowledge or experience may have grown leaps and bounds during the course of the season. On the contrary, some athletes may not be working as hard at practice. These tryouts allow everyone to reset and compete for a spot on a national team. Athletes that are not chosen for the national team can still be chosen for our Spring Season to compete locally. This tryout also allows athletes not currently associated with a club the ability to join our program during the spring. Athletes that played with us during our fall/winter season are NOT guaranteed a spot in the Spring Season.
