Boys' MS Teams are an ideal starting point for middle school players looking to get started with club volleyball. Practices are spent working on individual skills with an emphasis on team play in a fun, positive environment. Regional teams compete against other Illinois and Wisconsin club programs at competitive events and do not travel overnight.
The Boys' MS Program accepts all players (assuming we have the numbers to do so at tryouts) and tryouts are simply used to evaluate and group athletes by age and/or skill level. Boys' MS Teams compete in 5 "local" tournaments played within 2 hours of Rockford.
