ATLANTA VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE — 2008




Cluster Based Middle School League
Feeder Program for High School
In response to a lack of opportunities for volleyball development for Middle School girls in Georgia, Suwanee Sports Academy will be holding the Atlanta Volleyball League this fall during the Georgia High School Association Volleyball season. The AVL will allow Middle School students the opportunity to train and compete in the sport of volleyball with other students that will attend the same high school.

All training and competition will take place at Suwanee Sports Academy, which with 11 volleyball courts, is one of the country’s premier training facilities. All teams will be assigned an experienced and certified volleyball coach to teach them the fundamentals of the sport and guide them through their competitive play schedule. Each team will build their individual skills and techniques which will lead to confident athletes working together as they learn team concepts through team play and game situations.

The season begins Tuesday, August 26 and concludes Thursday, October 2.

Registration: This league allows girls to prepare for their future high school teams and to interact and work out with potential teammates. Individuals will register and be clustered based on the high school they will be attending. Therefore, athletes that may be attending different middle schools may be placed on the same team if those middle schools feed into the same high school. Each team will need a volunteer team parent or cluster contact to help in coordination and communication.
