2026 Spring Advanced Volleyball - Concord - Carondelet High School
Welcome to the 1st season of Next Level Advanced Volleyball in Concord at Carondelet High School! We are excited to bring our program to Concord this spring!
Priority Registration opens for all returning participants from the 2025 Next Level Fall Volleyball Season at De La Salle High School on Wednesday, November 12th at 9:00 AM PST!
General Registration opens for all participants on Wednesday, November 26th at 9:00 AM PST!
The Next Level Girls Advanced Volleyball Program has been developed to provide more development opportunities for aspiring volleyball players. The program will have more direct focus on competitive play while also allowing for on-court technical instruction. While our traditional Next Level Volleyball program provides an opportunity to learn the basic skills and functions of competitive volleyball - the Advanced Program takes it up a notch! Our program is aimed at the youth athlete who wants to push their development level further along while building towards game competence!
The program will be limited to 4 teams per group session with a maximum of 12 participants per team. To maximize the competitiveness of the program, effort to create equitable rostering will be made so that teams are comprised of as close to a 50/50 split between younger grade and older grade players. The objective at the roster level will be to maintain a maximum of 6 participants from the same grade level and school per team. Naturally, there will be some fluidity with this rostering approach.
On a weekly basis, each team will play three 30-minute timed matches (all 4 teams play each and every week). Matches will be split into two 15-minute sets. Players will rotate during the sets within each match. Student-Coaches will set lineups and coach from the sidelines but will not be directly involved in the game play unless where needed to continue game-facilitation. Scores will be kept for all competitions. The 5th/6th grade division will play with a volley lite ball, while the the 7th/8th grade division will play with an official leather volleyball. All teams will compete in the semi-finals during the final week of the season, with the chance to bring home the 2026 Next Level Volleyball Championship.
