U16s Information for 2022-2023 Season 

We are beyond thrilled with the potential to be offering TWO U-16 club team opportunities to local players looking to prepare for the higher levels of High School Volleyball and who are interested in playing collegiately.  The goal will be to have one team playing in the Open/National Division and the other team playing in the National division but those decisions will be dependent on the quality of players trying out.

Both teams will play several qualifiers to attempt to earn a bid to AAU or USA Volleyball Nationals.  Brand new to Pinnacle, our goal will be to send both 16s teams to AAU Nationals whether a bid is won or not.  Costs for Nationals includes extra expenses that are not included in club fees.  The club is working on several ideas for subsidizing the costs to help families but there will be additional travel fees for each family.

 

Please see the open gym and tryout information below for more details on the dates and times!  Club Prep clinics registration and information can be found on the "Registration Page"
