SOLD OUT!!!

Our Fall Training Program is full, and our waitlist is closed.

MOCO Volleyball 2025 Fall Training Program

MOCO’s Fall Training Program provides volleyball players of all skill levels the opportunity to improve their skills and play competitive volleyball.  The program runs from Wednesday September 3, 2025 - Sunday October 19, 2025. 

A UNIQUE APPROACH TO FALL VOLLEYBALL

Our Fall Training Program is unique---it is not a recreational league or a clinic.  What makes our Fall Training Program special:

  • Experienced Coaches for Each Team: Teams are coached by our club volleyball coaches.  Our coach-to-player ratio gives players more direct, personalized instruction than a recreational league.
  • Accelerated Skill Development:  Our coaches structure practices to work on specific skill development needs.  Players receive 3+ hours of skill development coaching each week, plus their competition time.
  • Great Competition:  Our Sunday sessions combine skill development led by our most experienced coaches--with more than 75 years of combined coaching experience--with scrimmages and game-like drills. Our games are fast-paced and scored, aligning with our belief that a training program should be challenging while giving players lots of chances to succeed.
  • Low Cost: Our training program provides players with a club-level volleyball experience at a very low cost -- less than $16 per hour of instruction.
  • Teams Organized by Age and Experience: Players of different ages develop volleyball skills at different speeds.  We organize our teams so players of similar ages and experience levels are together.
  • Preparation for Club Volleyball: If your player is interested in playing club volleyball, our training program gets them ready for tryouts.  A large number of our club players got started in our fall programs.

We will email registered/paid participants with CHRVA membership purchase instructions at the as soon as CHRVA makes the 25-26 memberships available.  The cost of the membership depends on your age, but ranges between $20-$55.  The membership cost is paid to CHRVA, not to MOCO and covers the player for the entire membership year (Sep 1 - Aug 31).
