Program Overview: Synergy Multi-Sport & Development League (Grade 6-9 Girls)

Welcome to the Synergy Multi-Sport & Development League for girls, an exciting 20-week program that meets once per week. This league is ideal for athletes who are passionate about volleyball but cannot commit to a full "Club" volleyball season due to other commitments. The Synergy league offers a balanced approach to skill development and gameplay, providing a competitive yet fun environment to grow in the sport. Teams will play in 3-4 playdays. Select players may be asked to participate in other events or tournaments(cost of event will be billed).

Tryouts/Selections: For our Synergy Multi-Sport & Development League for girls - NO TRYOUTS are necessary. Simply proceed to registration. Teams of eight athletes will be formed. Athletes can register as individuals and will be placed on appropriate teams, or they can register as a group and be placed on the same team(Teams must be groups of eight athletes. Groups registering together with less than eight athletes will have additional athletes placed in the group to form a team of eight).

Synergy offers a chance to stay involved, improve skills, and experience competitive play without the time demands of a full club season. The difference between our Synergy and Wolfpack programs is based on the number of training opportunities per week, and the level of competition that the athletes will compete against. Athletes will be evaluated based on current skill level, potential for development, coach ability, a positive growth mindset and their ability to compete as a team.
