Team Levels

How are Teams Determined?

Our tryout sessions are designed to evaluate each player. Players will be rated on 6 basic volleyball skills (Passing, Setting, Serving, Hitting, Defense and Game Play), as well as attitude and effort. Players will be placed on teams according to their age and skill level.

We will offer teams in each age group from 18 & Under down to 11U. We will offer an entry level Ecademy team that will consist of kids 13 and under that will practice twice a week. This team will be made up of kids brand new to the sport of volleyball who want to learn the game.

What does each level do?

No matter what level your child plays, your student athlete will receive the highest quality training. Our team players will be encouraged to reach new heights and new life skills by expanding their personal and team goals.

Ecademy

Our Ecademy team will practice twice a week and may play in one or two non-sanctioned tournaments. This group will focus on the basics and fundamentals of volleyball. This will be our player base, as we look forward to building the future of E3VB.

Regional

Our Regional teams will attend local tournaments and will travel to at least two of the El Paso/Amarillo/Lubbock bid preliminaries. This will give them a taste of what good competition is like. These teams will play enough tournaments to qualify for the Regional Bid Championships at the end of April. Although the travel will not be as much as the National teams, these teams will compete in many of the same tournaments.

National

Our national teams will attend at least 2, if not 3 National Qualifiers and play at a high level of competition. They will travel regularly and will play enough tournaments to qualify for the Regional Bid Championships at the end of April. The focus of these teams will be to qualify for the Junior National Championships. These teams require a greater time and financial commitment. Their practices will be harder and more intense.
