Our teams travel all over the Southeast to places like Atlanta, Loiusville, Knoxville and others to compete against high level competition.
XSV Volleyball is excited to announce we expect to field teams 1-2 boys teams for the 2024 season.
The expected committment level is different than in our girls program. Boys practice 2 times a week and have 4-5 tournaments. We understand that our boys athletes may miss some practices do to other sport commitments, however, we do ask that each athletes commits to attend all tournaments so that we are at full strength.
Practices start around November and are typically 2 times a week. The regular season finishes in late April with the SRVA Regional Championships.
During the season, our teams travel all over the Southeast to places like Atlanta, Knoxville and others to compete against high level competition.

- Most of the costs associated with a team are fixed costs (they don't vary with the number of athletes). Addtionally, athletes are difficult to replaced once the season has started. It is unreasonable for the other families to bear the financial burden of an athletes portion of the team budget. Therefore, once you commit to a team, you are responsible for the entire season fee and these fees are non-refundable.
- Athletes that cancel 24 hours prior to the event cut off will be refunded 100% of the registration fee.
- If XSV cancels an event at anytime, we will refund 100% of the registration fee.
Our tryouts for the 2024 season will be in early July. We will broadly announce dates on our social platforms and this web site. Also, you can sign-up for our email list to make sure you get our latest information.
The purpose of tryouts is to evaluate each athlete to determine if she has the skills necessary to make one of our teams. We will be running general, positional and game-like drills to make these evaluations.
When athletes register for tryouts they will designate a primary position (outside hitter, middle hitter, setter, ds/libero). If an athlete wishes to show two skills (e.g. setting and hitting) they need to let the evaluation staff know at the time of tryouts. Athletes will be given tee shirt with a number on it to identify them to our staff more easily.
At each tryout session, there will be an open discussion period with the parents to provide more information and to answer any additional questions they may have. We will also post our required 2024 Season Information Presentation online for you to review at your convenience.
Selected athletes and alternates will be notified via email and posted online as soon as possible once evaluations are complete. Parents/Athletes will have a limited amount of time to accept or decline the offer to join the team. If a selected athlete declines to join the team the first alternate for that position will be given the opportunity.
XSV strives to provide many opportunities for athletes to participate, unfortunately not every athlete will be afforded an opportunity in a particular year. Athletes who do not make a team should not be discouraged. With hard work and determination, improvements can be made over time. Every year is a new tryout year and all athletes must earn an invitation each season regardless of prior involvement.
Practices typically run for 2 hours three times a week.
Being in volleyball shape is as important as knowing the skills of the game. Strength, conditioning and plyometrics are built into our weekly practice schedule.
At practice, athletes will train on general individual skills, positional skills and team skills. Most practices will progress to game like drills and scrimmages that reinforce the goals of that day's practice plan.

Parents or a guardian are responsible for getting their athlete to and from the tournament location. Some tournaments will require an overnight stay or two at a hotel close to the tournament site. Travel costs are not included in the Club Fee.
We believe that preparing for and going to Nationals is important for athletes that want to continue their training, see what the best teams in the country look like, and for the opportunity for a recruiting coach to see an athlete play live.
Our teams that extend into the post season will play additional events and attend the AAU Nationals Championships in Orlando (mid-late June).
Practice is mandatory and your attendance is expected. If a player will be missing a practice or tournament, that player must contact the head coach before the scheduled event by TEXT or EMAIL.
Academics are a priority, however, homework should not be an excuse for missing practice.
Our athletes are encouraged to play other sports, however commiting to our teams is a serious endevour and the team's events should be a high priority.
Players who repeatedly miss practice will be subject to reduced playing time at tournaments.
Parent volunteers help the club run smoothly and efficiently.
Team Building
Coordinate meals and team activities that are inclusive and help to build team unity and bonding.
Travel / Carpooling Coordinator
Coordinate carpooling to practices and tournaments as well as working with club on hotel accommodations for your team.
HUDL (not needed for boys teams)
Set up and record our tournament matches so they can be processed by HUDLs statistics service. Create video highlights for social media.
Social Media / Photography
Take pictures and make posts to our social platforms throughout the season.
We believe in open and honest communication with our parents and athletes. Our coaches will meet with each athlete and parent to discuss the athlete's role on the team and development roadmap that will help the athlete attain their goals.
XSV is a competitive club that provides elite training with the goal of competing at the highest levels. In the practice gym, all athetes will receive the same amount of attention and training.
You are paying for practice time not playing time at tournaments.
At tournaments, our goal is to try and perform at the team's highest potential. Our coaches will play the team in a manner that best gives us that chance while doing their best to balance player development.
Starting athletes that play more significant roles on our teams have earned that right through their past performance (often over a period of years) at practices and tournaments.
If you have concerns about playing time, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Questions about playing time should be addressed between the coach and the athlete before a parent meeting is scheduled.
- Wait 24 hours after the conclusion of the event to email the coach and director to set up a meeting.
- Athletes will be included in all meetings and on all correspondence regarding playing time.
- If a parent approaches a coach at a tournament regarding playing time, the athlete in question will sit for the rest of the day. The club director will address the issue before they are allowed to play in future matches.
