Gold Team Program

Available Location(s): Granite Street, Northlake

Overview

The goal of GOLD teams is to provide a team setting for the higher level player with more specific team training and individual development. Playing time may not be equal in all league games, but each player will play in each league match each weekend.

The GOLD Level will require tryouts and only the best players will be selected for teams. Most teams will probably practice and play games at the same or similar times per age group. 

Teams will practice 1-2 times each week and compete in a series of local league competitions or mini tournaments on the weekends over a span of 7-9 weeks. The weekend volleyball matches are designed to provide a fun and competitive environment with no out of town traveling. Having games played locally will not only give all players great practice and competition, but also save time and money on travel, and allow the players (and their families) to participate in other sports or activities on the weekends.

Registration and payment is required to tryout. No walk-ins. 

Seasons

Tryouts      

We understand that some players may have to miss part or all of tryouts due to other commitments.  Though it it preferred that players do their best to attend both tryouts, they will not be penalized if they cannot attend one of of the days. If your player cannot attend either date, please email Office@CarolinaJuniors.com for other options. 

If you do not make a Gold Level Team, you will automatically be placed on a Silver Level Team. If you decide not to play on a Silver Level Team please email Office@CarolinaJuniors.com within first week of season start to receive a credit/refund on your account.

Locations

There will be Teams and Practices at both CJV Volleyball Centers (North and South). League games will be held primarily at the South Charlotte (Sports Connection-Granite Street) and North Charlotte (Sports Connection-Northlake) locations. 

Age Group / Teams

6th - 8th Graders
8th - 12th Graders 

Each team will have 10-12 players.  Player requests to play with friends will be allowed when possible, but may not be possible in all cases. Teams will be divided by factors like positions and schools. Team will practice at the same time each week, and most likely play at the same time per age group.

***8th Graders have the option to play in either group. If a player chooses to tryout for 8-12 Gold and does not make it, they are required to stay in the 8-12 Silver program. They cannot move down to 6-8 Silver, or tryout for the 6-8 Gold. The same policy applies to those who tryout for 6-8 Gold. They cannot move to 8-12 Silver/Gold. Registration is finalized once tryouts begin. Changes can be made prior to tryouts, space permitting. 

Playing Time

All players will receive Playing Time at each League Competition, but Playing Time may not be equal in all league games at the Gold Level.

Zero Tolerance Policy
