Each team will practice 2-4 times per week (practice sessions generally last between 2 and 4 hours (depending on the age group and practice location). The exact days and times will be selected when the team is chosen. Because the season is so long, each team will get small breaks throughout the season to prevent burnout and to provide for holidays, school breaks, exams, etc. Practice sessions for the middle school age groups may be adjusted during middle school volleyball season to reduce burn-out and injury.
