Silver Team Program
Overview
The goal of the SILVER teams is to provide a team setting for the beginner to intermediate level player. League games will be played on the weekends at the South or North Sports Connection locations. Playing time will be equal in all league games and at practices.
The Silver Level does not require tryouts, but there are space limitations, so please register early. Teams will have 9-12 players per team.
Teams will practice twice a week and compete in a series of local league competitions or mini tournaments on the weekends over a span of 6-9 weeks. The weekend volleyball matches are designed to provide a fun and competitive environment with no out of town traveling. Having games played locally will not only give all players great practice and competition, but also save time and money on travel, and allow the players (and their families) to participate in other sports or activities on the weekends.
Upcoming Seasons
Tryouts are not required for the Silver Team Program, but space is limited. Players will be divided into teams after the first few practices.
Spring Practices
Each Level will have 1-2 practices per week for 1.5 hours each. Practice times and days will vary based on what location you are playing at. Please see the chart below for the current season’s practice dates and times. South teams will practice at the Sports Connection-Granite Street and North teams will practice at Sports Connection-Northlake.
