CLUB VOLLEYBALL

Prime fields club teams for players of all ages and experience levels from first time players to college bound student athletes on nationally competitive teams. Prime's adidas teams have been ranked among the top teams in Southern California and have medaled at multiple USA Volleyball Junior National Qualifiers. Prime Alums have gone on to be named NCAA All-Americans and NCAA National Champions! Please visit our Hall of Fame page to see some of our Prime Fam's accomplishments!

Prime's focus with all of our club teams is to create a positive learning environment where our highly qualified coaching staff provides the training and feedback athletes need to become their best.

HERE'S SOME ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR PRIME CLUB TEAMS

  • How often do Prime Club Teams practice?

    Prime's teams practice 3 times a week for 2 hours each session with the exception of our youngest developmental teams which practice twice a week for 2 hours

  • When is the club season?

    The club season runs from late October through early July for our 11s, 12s, 13s, and 14s teams and runs from late November through early July for our 15s, 16s, 17s, and 18s teams

  • What age can athletes join a club team?

    The youngest athletes we have on our club teams are 4th and 5th graders and the most common age that athletes start playing on a club team is 6th grade.

  • When are club tryouts?

    Club tryouts are in early October for our 11s, 12s, 13s, and 14s teams while tryouts are in late July for our 15s, 16s, 17s, and 18s teams

  • What's the best way to prepare for club tryouts?

    All of our youth development programs and summer camps are a great starting point and then we highly recommend attending multiple Pre-Tryout Skills Clinic sessions as they are a great opportunity to work with our Prime club coaches and play with potential club teammates

  • How often are tournaments and where are they?

    Our teams compete in tournaments 1-2 times a month and local tournaments are rarely more than an hour away and are often in the Orange County area.  Please consult the region tournament schedule for local tournament dates for each age group. In addition our teams may travel to out of state USAV National Qualifiers with our adidas teams travelling more than our Molten, Blue, and White teams.

  • What is included in club team fees?

    - Weekly strength and conditioning

    - Beach training

    - Prime Mentality Program

    - Equipment

    - Training (2-3 practices a week)

    - Uniform package (3 jerseys, 2 shorts, 1 pair of leggings, adidas volleyball shoes, 2 pairs of socks, 3 practice shirts, warm up top, backpack)


    For high school adidas level teams our comprehensive college recruiting services are also included!


    TRAVEL COSTS AND FEES ARE NOT INCLUDED (tournament cost, housing, transportation, and food for athletes and coaches) 


    Travel fees will be charged seperately at the start of the season. Each 3 day tournament fee is $400 while 4 day tournaments will be charged at $500 and this covers the tournament entry fee and housing, transportation and food for all coaches.


    Player transportation and hotel costs are paid by families independently as flights and housing are booked by families directly with families booking through the tournament housing systems we are required to use.  All families must stay at the team hotel for all travel tournaments.

  • How many players are on each club team?

    Prime team rosters are typically 12 players but sometimes a team might have one more or one less player depending on the makeup of the team. Rosters with at least 12 athletes allow for better training opportunities during practice sessions as it allows our teams to play 6 on 6 volleyball to best prepare for competition.

  • What can my daughter expect in terms of playing time?

    Prime VC does not offer any guarantee of tournament playing time to any athlete. Our purpose is to compete and be successful at the highest levels locally and nationally. While our coaches will do their best to get all team members on the court to gain tournament experience, our coaches’ priority at tournaments is making decisions that are in the best interest of the team as a whole and its success.  Our developmental teams (our youngest teams and our Molten, Blue, and White level teams) will rotate all athletes into the lineup more frequently than our more competitive adidas level teams.


    Players will be expected to earn their starting position or playing time every day in practice. Factors that can affect playing time are: attendance at practice, attitude and work ethic, leadership skills, team chemistry, statistical analysis, and performance during practices and matches. Players on the bench are expected to encourage and show their support for players on the court. Poor attitudes or negative behavior will not be tolerated. All athletes will have equal opportunity to play, compete, learn, and improve during all practice sessions which is where the majority of learning and progress occurs, assuming their attendance at practices is consistent.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

We have multiple opportunities for young athletes who are just getting started to athletes with some rec level experience but aren't quite ready to join a club team. Prime Volleyball League is our primary youth development program during the school year but Summer Camps and Clinics or Pre-Tryout Clinics in the fall are also a great introduction to volleyball for young athletes!

SUMMER CAMPS

During the summer we offer multiple sessions of our 4 day Camps that are tailored to three different levels of experience. These camps are a great opportunity for athletes of all ages and experience levels including first time players. Athletes will learn and work on technically sound fundamentals, improve their skills, and have some fun!

CAMP PROGRAMS

Foundations: These camps are for boys and girls ages 7-15 who are brand new to volleyball or beginners - athletes trying volleyball for the first time to players with limited rec level or camp experience who want to learn or refine their fundamental skills in a fun, fast paced environment.


All Skills Camps: These camps are for boys and girls ages 8-15 who have participated in beginner level programs and have learned the basics. Examples: athletes who have participated in Prime Volleyball League (rec level) or previous camps and clinics to players with a year or two of club experience on 14 and under teams or younger (10 and 11 adidas teams or 12s-14s Molten, Blue or White level teams at Prime) who want to improve their skills and raise their level of play in preparation for higher level club teams or high school volleyball.


High Performance Academy: For club and high school players with competitive club level experience who are looking for ways to elevate their game and play with and against other competitive athletes.  Designed and run by top Prime VC Club Coaches.
