Open House Schedule
- Below is the open house schedule for 2024. We are allowed three total open houses per age group. Be sure to attend the correct age group so our coaches can evaluate you appropriately. This process will help with the tryout process so we have a better idea of what team best fits your skill set and volleyball goals.
Use the Age Calculator to know what age group you will tryout for.
- This season, The AZ Region of USA Volleyball has restricted up to three sessions (three hours each) per age group. So, be sure to sign up for the appropriate time for each age group. You cannot participate in multiple age groups this season.
- For reference, if you sign up for the Alpha/Premier open house, you are signing up because you have interest in the travel component of club volleyball. If you sign up for the Regional open house, you are NOT interested in travel. You may play in the full 3 hours for each age group, but only need to pay for one sessions. Just stick around and play the whole time!
- $10 each session. MUST sign up online. Below is the schedule
***If you do not make an Alpha or Premier travel team, you will still be considered for our non-travel teams regardless of what open gyms you attended
Open Houses run from August 2nd to August 9th
Alpha Initiative
What is the Alpha Initiative?
Alpha Initiative is a program for individuals who love to play, train, and work with like-minded athletes and coaches to dominate in high school and learn to play at a college level. Alphas know that nothing is given and everything is earned. Alphas don’t back down from anyone, or any situation. These athletes are never satisified and seek out the best competition knowing that iron sharpens iron. Nothing is guaranteed, nothing is given. Everything is earned!
***This program applies to any athlete talented enough to be selected to our top 15U-18U teams.
- Compete at the highest level of club volleyball in practice and around the nation.
- No more promises. Positions and playing time is all earned.
- Win National Championships!
Club Dues
At Aspire, you are getting a more comprehensive club experience than anywhere else in Arizona. Ultimately, you get what you pay for. We will help your son, no matter the level of play, to chase and achieve his dreams. Unfortunately, as you may have felt in other areas of your life, inflation has hit the club world as well. We have worked tirelessly to keep costs as low as possible. Below you will find how much it costs per team, and what you will be getting for your money!
