About Club Level Teams
This program is for boys 14-18 years old. Previous volleyball experience is not required, but will certainly be an advantage for you at tryouts. Our coaches are chosen based on volleyball experience and coaching technique. All of our Coaches are former (and mostly current) volleyball athletes. Most of them currently play multiple times per week all year round! Come to SLAM and learn from coaches with experience!
