The tuition of each team includes promised practice time. The Red (National) teams are promised three practices a week. The Blue (State) teams are promised two practices a week, this year we are working to create space in our schedule to add a third practice to our Blue team's schedule, stay tuned.
The Red (National) teams practice times and amounts may change in late May/June to two practice a week as we share court time with other AVC leagues that begin in May/June. Also our Beach league is in full swing and it allows our indoor players to do both. If there is more time court available and the coaches are also available then we grant more practice time.
Each season we offer a practice only player option to a limited number of players for the indoor season. This program is available by coaches or the club director's invitation to join the club team practices and is limited up to two players per team. Includes the same basic practice hours as the club players each month for the season. Includes: Coaching for the indoor practices.
