2025 Boys Spring League Info

What is Spring League? It is a league designed for the 14 and under boys (5th-8th grade) to be able to continue their development in the spring when the high school boys are all playing for their high schools

Why would I particiapte in the Spring? One, because it is fun! And two, it is another opportunity for you to improve your volleyball skills!

When is Spring Leauge? It starts January 25th with an evaluation day at Aspire…see below and ends on April 5th with the last Spring League tournament.

Isn’t this basically the same things as club in the fall? No! There are some important differences. One, in preparation for our 2025 Boys Spring League, we are holding an evaluation day! From 4-6pm at Aspire gym, come and showcase your skills so we can get organized for another exciting spring! Two, everyone makes a team, NO MATTER WHAT! And three, we approach Spring League with a more developmental mindset. We focus more on the fundementals and individual skills rather than the competition. Does that mean we don’t care about winning? No way!! Winning is fun. All it means is that we are dedicated to making you a better volleyball player!

When and where are practices? ***Practices will be held at Chandler Gilbert Community College on Monday and Wednesday starting on January 27th from 7-8:30pm. These practices will be a clinic style practice where we will use two courts to run all the boys through skill work, fundemental drills and some game play. Each boy will receive coaching and feedback from all of the spring league coaches during the practice period. We believe this will all for maximum growth of the players, and a more unified spring program.

What do tournament days look like? On gameday, we will then break out into teams of TEN boys per team for region tournament play. We think TEN is a good number to increase playing time on those tournament days. We understand that teams were formed during the fall, but want to make sure it is understood that these spring league teams will be just for the spring and will allow for more individual growth. Once the spring league is over, the original fall league teams will reunite for the summer tournaments.

How much is it and what do I get for my money? Throughout the spring, we will have four total tournaments with three matches per tournament. The indidivual cost for the spring league is $595 paid in a one time installment on Jan 27th at our first practice. You will also receive a special spring league practice t-shirt and two new spring league uniform shirts.

Please contact Coach Tolman if you have any further questions.

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.

What is the goal of ALPHA 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!
