PROGRAMS

Our Programs

While Resilient's founding coaches have over 100 years of combined experience, 2022-2023 is RVA’s first full season as a club in Naples. We currently have enough committed players to field teams, but until we hold our tryouts, we won't know for certain how many teams we will have our first season. Our model below will give you an overview of how our Academy operates at full capacity.

Since we are committed to small team sizes, we may have more than one Elite and Regional Team per age group.

​

Elite Travel

Our Elite Travel Teams have the most competitive schedules with the most competitive players. They play the highest-level tournaments in Florida, seek to qualify and play in USA Volleyball Nationals, and play the June AAU tournament in Orlando. At times they may play one additional out-of-state tournament.

The Elite roster for each group will select approximately 8-10 players, with everyone getting the opportunity for extended playing time in games. These are the players focused on playing at the highest level. We encourage our most competitive players to try out for our Elite teams.

*Cost for Elite Travel is approx. $4650 (price may vary)

​

Regional Semi-Travel (plays AAU)

Our Regional Travel Teams do not play as many tournaments and do not play outside of Florida. They do play the June AAU Tournament in Orlando. They also have smaller-than-average rosters, but may include up to 9 players.

Regional Travel Teams are made up of players who tried out for Elite but did not receive an invite as well as players who want to play travel but would like a less demanding travel schedule.

*Cost for Regional Semi-Travel is approx. $3650 (price may vary)

Practice Squad

There is a need in Southwest Florida for a volleyball program for players who want to play school volleyball, but not travel. Our Practice Squads are designed to give non-travel players an opportunity to train at a high level in preparation for their school seasons.

*Cost for Practice Squad is $1500

Learn to Play 1 and 2
Throughout the year we run weekly 2-hour training sessions to teach the foundational skills to players who are new to volleyball. Learn to Play 1 is for our younger kids, and Learn to Play 2 is for players aged 12 and up.

Adults

We have been overjoyed to see the number of parents interested in playing “fun” volleyball with their kids and friends. We have planned occasional 2-hour training sessions to help adults learn the basics of hitting and serving.

Camps

Resilient Volleyball Academy will host two camps towards the end of club season. The camps are for boys and girls aged 6-18. Our camps are focused on skill development and consist of eight 2-hour sessions. Players will receive instruction on the six basic skills of volleyball: serve receive, serving, passing, setting, blocking, and attacking.



Private Lessons

For players who want to play at the highest level, from starting on their high school team to playing in college, we suggest supplementing their club play with private lessons. Players who consistently incorporate private lessons into their game increase in skill significantly faster than those who don’t. Private lessons are not a requirement for playing at the club, but we ask all parents and players to consider them.
