St. George Aces Volleyball Club

Providing a quality, flexible, and economical volleyball experience for the multi-sport athlete.

Philosophy:

Volleyball should be fun. A great experience in volleyball should not be limited to elite athletes or to those who are affluent. Volleyball teaches teamwork, sportsmanship, confidence, communication, and overall healthy living. Nation-wide, we are seeing injuries to our young athletes that are caused by overuse. One of the answers is to allow them time away from volleyball to play another sport. Studies have shown that multi-sport athletes are less prone to injury, burnout, and often times are in better shape from doing a different sport. We hold practices only once or twice a week, keep teams small, and encourage our players to be involved in other activities. We also have divided the Club Season into three separate seasons to allow for participation in other sports.

Important Dates:

Tryouts: First Week of November at Sunrise Ridge Intermediate School

Commitment Date: Monday after Tryouts

Season 1 Winter: Nov- Feb (Christmas Vacation off for most teams)
