Developmental and Travel Teams
Memphis
Juniors seeks to provide the best training and competition environment
for players at all skill levels, from the novice 6th grader to
the most experienced college-bound senior. To this end, we organize
and field Developmental and Traveling Teams in every age division,
from 12 and unders through 18s. We understand that some
families are not able to commit to a travel schedule but still
are interested in true competition in a limited travel format.
We strive to make the limited travel format as competitive as
possible while allowing for a less costly and less time consuming
experience. Also while there is limited organized competition
for true 10 and under teams in this Region, we encourage players
at young ages to try out in our 12 and under division, and we
will form younger teams as the players are available.
At times, we have found that there are not enough players at
a given level to support more than one team (this is very common
at the 18s level). In other instances, we may field one Traveling
and two Developmental Teams as the need arises. Go here for our
Training and Competition Schedules.
In
all cases, we strive to keep team sizes to a optimal level
in order to maximize playing time and coach-athlete instruction.
Our traveling teams typically include more skilled and experienced
players, and participate in tournaments farther afield, requiring
a higher level of commitment. Teams are sized at nine to ten
players in order to ensure adequate players at each tournament.
Develomental Teams are more commonly sized at eight to nine
players maximum to optimize court time.
Within
the guidelines of our consistent overall training architecture,
we seek to develop players fundamentally from the beginning
and build their volleyball skills as they grow in age and experience.
Listed below is our lineup of our teams for 2006 and their coaches.
