2011 MAV Club Tryout Info

Manatee Area Volleyball Club sent 5 teams to National Qualifiers last year. Our club has been in existence for over 10 years and the majority of our teams finish in the top 10 or higher in the state. Players who participated with MAV are currently playing on the Varsity or Junior Varsity level for their high school or middle school teams and most of those players are starters. Many players have moved on to play in college or are even coaching for us now. Our program is designed for the experienced player who is serious about improving their play and working to get a college scholarship (especially at the Elite team level).

The season begins in December for about 2 weeks, with approximately 20 practices a month for the elite level athlete and 16-20 hours a month for the travel teams. The season ends in May with the exception of our teams who may qualify for Nationals. The experience with MAV will improve your game.
