Who is this program designed for? This is for girls who are either:

• new to volleyball and need to learn the basic skills
• need or want more game experience (play time is guaranteed, and players will play all the way around)
• cannot commit the time or financial resources for full time club
• want to be part of the Colorado Juniors program, but did not make the 14's or 13's traveling team/or are still young but want to make a team in the future
• want to get experience now (and before HS) so they can make their school teams

What is the program? Currently the program is planned to have THREE (we might add a fourth) teams of eight players only on each. They will practice twice a week (Tues and Fri nights, 5-6:30pm - starting Dec 4th (with a break over the holidays) starting after tryouts, through the Colorado Springs United League Championships, at ACES. They will learn the basic skills (serving, passing, defense and attacking) from top Colorado Juniors coaches, learn team concepts, and learn life skills such as time management, timeliness, and sportsmanship. They will compete in the Colorado Springs United League (CSUL) - a local league which competes 7 times/ 2 x month, Jan - Mar. Each team will have their own coach, but practices may be run together at times. League matches are on Friday nights 6:00-9:30pm - and held right at our own ACES facility, in Monument. On league nights, the teams will play instead of practice.

What is the cost? The cost for the entire season is $650 (tryout fee included). So, at tryouts - you bring one $50 check for tryout fee, and your $600 separate check for the season fess. If you accept a spot in the program - your checks will be cashed and you will have no further payments for the season. If you choose not to accept a position - your $600 check will be torn up.

What does the cost include? For your fees you will receive:

• 3 hours a week, for roughly 23 weeks, of solid fundamental coaching and training
• entry fee for CSUL
• exposure to strength and conditioning for volleyball
• uniform jersey, spandex and socks
• team picture and roster on Colorado Juniors web site
• a fun time and experience!

When do I "tryout" for this program? You will tryout alongside the regular 14's or 13's tryout on Oct 28th. You will do everything they do and be evaluated alongside them. If you do not make the 14's or 13's traveling team (or choose not to accept a position), we will ask you if you want to be part of THIS program. These spots will be offered up and filled as girls make commitments. If you want to go to another tryout instead - great - and then decide you want to be a part of THIS program - no problem as long as all the spots are not full. If there is demand (and there is!) We really want to encourage the 11 and 12 year old that is ready to also tryout for this program - great exposure to this sport - without all the time, travel and expense of full time club!

WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROGRAM, WE HOPE YOU ARE TOO!
