Gold Team Program
Overview
The goal of GOLD teams is to provide a team setting for the intermediate to advanced level player with more specific team training and individual development. Playing time may not be equal in all league games, but each player will play in each league match each weekend.
There are no special “Tryouts” for Gold Level Teams. Teams will be selected during the first few weeks of practices.
To REGISTER for a Gold Level Team, players must have a Player Rating of GOLD or Higher. Your current Player Rating can be viewed on your CourtReservce APP under your “Personal Information” section. (Current Player Rating Levels Are: SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM, or TRAVEL). Please visit our website or contact the CJV Office for more information.
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, depending on the season. 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.
