Club Prep

Areté CLUB PREP: 9U - 14U

Club Prep is developmental training in a fun and encouraging environment that will increase athletes' confidence, skills, and court/game IQ.  Club Prep is a SIX month program that provides club level training for families who are not quite ready for the expense or amount of travel commitment of a club team, may have missed the North Texas Region acceptance date for club team placement and want to ensure they are not falling behind, athletes who want something more competitive than recreational volleyball, and/or the multi-sport athlete who potentially can’t make the full commitment to club.

Club Prep is a way for athletes to prepare for next season's tryouts, either Club or Middle School, so they can make their desired team.

Start Date: Club Prep will start the first full week in November and run through the last week of April, including a season ending tournament.
