AP Lite is designed for both the "new to club" and multi-sport athlete and is considered more of a local program. This allows players to balance other sports, activities and academics while continuing to play longer than their school seasons. Club volleyball can be a huge time and financial obligation between travel and time commitment and our goal is to provide an avenue for anyone seeking to improve their skills without giving up other activities they are involved in. It also serves as an excellent entry program for girls just beginning their volleyball passion.

14, 15, 16 and 17u Lite Program:
A 1 day tryout to evaluate and place girls on teams according to skill and position. Typically 2-3 teams are made at each age group depending on how many register. We try and find a place for everyone, however, it is possible not everyone makes a team.
10 , 11, 12 and 13u Lite Team Selection:
For the 10U - 12U and 13U programs, AP Lite offers an extended evaluation series called WINTER CAMP. You must be enrolled in the program to participate in Winter Camp. We know that at this age some girls have had minimal experience with the sport, mostly in recreational leagues. The 3-4 week pre-season practice/clinic will be used to train and evaluate the girls to place them on teams based on skill. Please note: Some athletes will be placed in a league instead of a tournament team to further develop their skills.
10s, 11s & 12s Tournaments
10s, 11s will participate in 2-3 and 12s will attend 1-2 "In House/Developmental" Tournaments designed to teach them to prepare for larger tournaments. These will comprise of pool play only, but run just like a regular tournament. The idea is so the some teams can learn to score/ref, how to call lines and potentially have modified serving lines so that the players and teams can be set up for success for later in the season.
What does this mean for the first day of Tryouts ?
On day 1 we will run each participant through a series of physical testing and evaluate each player, however, we will not place anyone on teams. Day 1 consists of contract signing, registration and uniform try-ons. Contracts and Registration for the program must be completed and a deposit paid to participate in the 3-4 week program. There will be no fees for the clinic, they are included in your club dues.
Do I need to stay for tryouts?
All Parents: There will be a parent Q&A at the beginning of the session that you will want to hear if this is your first Lite experience. For the younger age groups (10s, 11s, 12s and 13s) we will try to release the girls in waves to try-on uniforms and you may get started on the registration forms immediately after the Q&A.
What is the evaluation schedule?
Please see WINTER CAMPS for details
Does my daughter have to make every Winter Camp date?
If your daughter has to miss, that is OK, however, the more times she attends, the better her skills will become and we will better evaluate her.
What do we have to pay to join?
The total due for the season is $2,000 - $2495. The deposit will be $500 - $695 due upon signing in November.
See PAYMENT DETAILS for full season cost information
What do our dues cover?
Your dues cover Winter Camp and all expenses for the club season; backpack, socks, spandex, uniforms, practice shirts, tournament entry fees, coaches pay and facility fees. What they do not cover is food at tournaments or any travel expenses including hotel for the final tournament.
My daughter is younger than 11 years old can she tryout for 11u?
Yes! There is not a 10u tournament series so depending on her skill level and knowledge of the game, we will be offering a club and/or league format for our younger players to properly learn how to compete before entering them into club tournaments.
