Beach Elite Volleyball Club

A letter from the staff regarding the upcoming 2009-2010 season

It is the club’s intent to abide by the Old Dominion Region’s new tryout rule and not host a tryout under any organizational umbrella until the mandated dates for USAV tryouts in November. The later tryout dates will result in a shorter financial payment period (December to April/May versus the current August to April) and a larger initial payment once a player is selected for a Beach Elite team.

The staff is currently planning for the club's expansion and will have details in the very near future, including the coaching assignments and age groups that will be offered for the 2009-2010 season. Beach Elite will continue to provide the highest level of training in the area and maximal competition exposure. Beach Elite will be working with the administrators of VBVBA and TVA to coordinate tryout schedules that will afford players the opportunity to attend multiple club tryouts. The current consensus of these organizations is for all players to be able to find the right club that fits your goals and budget for a positive club experience.

Good luck to Beach Elite 15’s and all ODR teams competing at Nationals in Miami.
