Progression Summary
Loudoun Elite Elevate teams are designed for athletes who are eager to experience competitive volleyball but are not yet ready for the full commitment of travel volleyball. This program provides a structured and supportive environment where players can develop their skills, gain game experience, and build confidence on the court. At U12, the focus is on fundamental skill development and teamwork. At U13, players refine their abilities and begin exploring positional roles. By U14, athletes are introduced to team systems and strategies to prepare for future opportunities in travel volleyball. Throughout all levels, Elevate teams emphasize skill growth, game understanding, and a passion for the sport.

Loudoun Elite Volleyball Regional teams provide a competitive volleyball experience for athletes looking to develop their skills and compete at a strong level while maintaining a balanced commitment. These teams participate exclusively in local competitions, primarily at the club level, without the demands of extensive travel or national events. With a practice schedule that falls between our Travel and Elevate programs, Regional teams offer a structured training environment where athletes can refine their abilities, gain valuable match experience, and continue their growth in the sport.

Formed on a demand basis, Regional teams may be available for age groups ranging from U12 to U18. This level is ideal for players who seek a competitive setting with a strong emphasis on development but prefer a season that allows for greater flexibility with other commitments.

In addition to our indoor volleyball pathway, Loudoun Elite Beach offers a competitive and dynamic program for girls and boys in grades 6-12. Beach volleyball operates independently from our indoor teams, providing a unique opportunity for athletes to develop their skills in a fast-paced, two-player format that enhances all-around ability, court awareness, and decision-making.

Our main program is the Travel Beach Volleyball Team, which mirrors the goals of our indoor travel teams. This program provides training for athletes looking to start their journey in beach volleyball, as well as for those who wish to play at the highest levels, including college recruiting. Players will refine their ball control, adaptability, and tactical thinking while receiving the necessary guidance to compete at major beach volleyball events.

Loudoun Elite Beach is perfect for those looking to diversify their volleyball experience, complement their indoor training, or fully commit to the beach game. Whether an athlete is new to the sport or aspiring to compete at the next level, our beach program provides a high-level training environment that fosters growth, competition, and a love for the game.
