NorCal Juniors teams are designed to give young girls an opportunity to get introduced to club volleyball at a young age, for a lower price, and have a shorter season. These teams are strictly for player development and for that reason, modified rules are used at tournaments and playing time is not decided based on performance. The skill development of each player at a young age, in a low intensity environment, is the ultimate goal of these teams.
2026 NorCal Juniors teams will be for 3rd graders – 6th graders. Practices will run January-April and there will be a total of 5 tournaments.
Although there is no tryout, all players who sign up to play’ must attend a mandatory evaluation day on Sunday, November 16th. We will be building teams based on age and skill level this year. We anticipate having 8-10 teams for the 2026 season.
*We expect our Juniors program to fill up quickly so please be sure to add yourself to the waitlist if it says sold out. We typically pull numerous kids off of the waitlist to form as many teams as we can. We will be in touch with those on the waitlist prior to the Clothing and Eval day to confirm if there are any available spots.
Our NorCal Juniors Training Season cost is $1,680. When you register, you will pay 50% of the fees ($840) with the remaining balance due in two increments of $420 on Jan.15 and Feb.15.
Each NorCal Juniors team will practice once a week either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday from 4:15-5:45pm at the NorCal Facility.
Similar to last season, we’re aiming to schedule one grade level per day. For larger age groups, practices may be split across different days. The schedule below is tentative and may change based on registration numbers, but we’ll do our best to keep it as close to this as possible.
NorCal Juniors season is a WCVBA sponsored event. Tentative tournament dates are below and locations will be announced soon.
