Season Commitment
Playing for Diablo Valley Volleyball Club requires a significant commitment from both players and families. While academics always come first, players are expected to prioritize volleyball when it comes to attendance, communication, and effort, as these are all vital to a team's success.
Attendance & Expectations
Players are expected to attend ALL practices, tournaments, and team events. Missing any team commitments affects individual development, team performance, and may also impact playing time. If schedule conflicts arise, players must communicate directly with their coach in advance.
Playing Time
Playing time at the competitive club level is not guaranteed and must be earned. Many factors may affect a player's court time including effort, performance, attitude, and attendance. Coaches will make decisions based on what is best for the team.
Chain of Communication
We value open and respectful communication, but coaches will not discuss playing time with parents without following the protocol outlined below. If a concern arises, please follow our chain of communication.
Diablo Chain of Communication:
- Player requests a meeting - Player and Coaches Only
- Player requests a meeting - Player, Coaches, and Parent(s)
- Player requests a meeting - Player, Coaches, Parent(s), and Club Board Member
Season Structure
Tryouts for Boys of all ages are typically held in early August.
Season Timeline
Teams begin practices in mid-August, and the regular season runs through January. The club season takes a break while the high school season plays out, then teams will reunite for practices in May, and compete in tournaments again in June & July.
Practice Schedules
All teams practice twice per week in the gym for two hours each session. Most teams have an additional weekly 1-hour athletic training session. Tentative practice schedules are posted online as early as possible, but are always subject to change.
Tournament Schedules
All teams will compete in their League tournaments, as well as non-league events and one or two local tournaments such as Bay View Classic or Holiday Bonanza (exact events vary by team and coach availability).
All teams will attend the Boys Far Western Junior National Qualifier (coach availability permitting). Some teams may also attend an additional Junior National Qualifier, which will incur extra costs.

Final season costs depend on NCVA fees and gym contracts and will be confirmed once those are finalized.
Season Costs Includes:
- League & Tournament Fees
- Coaching Fees
- Gym Rentals & Insurance
- Uniform & Apparel Items
- NCVA Team Fees
