U17 Team Vision for 2021-2022 Season

Vienna Elite will field a team of ten (11)* highly skilled and motivated U17 players.  The team will consist of experienced club players seeking to participate in more competitive tournaments and who may be interested in being recruited for collegiate level of volleyball.  The team is expected to be a competitive "OPEN" level team which will compete in selected multi-day tournaments to maintain the skills and to prepare for college volleyball.  We are looking for players who are committed to playing in college already or who want to play in competitive tournaments with other like-minded players.  The objective will be to maintain and refine your volleyball skills for college volleyball while having fun doing it.  No stress, no drama, just finishing out your last year of juniors club volleyball playing the sport you love!  

The U18 team is expected to practice twice per week.   During the training months of November and December as well as on non-tournament weekends from January thru May, the Club will also hold "Academy" which will focus on specific skills (i.e. serving, passing, setting, team defense etc).  Academy will be run by special instructors or by Vienna Elite coaches.

Our club strives to be the best club in Northern Virginia when considering competitiveness of teams, level of coaching, club fees, number of tournaments and overall access to court time.  Our players love to play volleyball and want to compete at a high level!

* At the discretion of the club one "practice player" will be considered depending on the circumstances of the team
