Driven Dragons Club Season Pilot Division

The Pilot Division is designed exclusively for new volleyball players or those new to club volleyball. It is open only to athletes in the 14 and under age divisions, meaning participants must be born on or after July 1, 2011. This team primarily consists of girls aged 12 to 14 (6th through 8th grade). Unlike our competitive teams, the Pilot Division requires no tryouts—athletes can simply register and be assigned to a team.

​

The Pilot Teams offer a gentle introduction to the club season on a smaller scale, focusing on learning rather than intense competition. The season runs December thru end of January.  Practices are held once a week for 2 hours, typically on late Thursday afternoons or Sunday evenings, with one tournament scheduled for late January.  Then an end of season Hibachi Style Celebration.  The club also observes a winter break, closing between Christmas and New Year’s.

​

Tuition covers coaching fees, practice facility costs, and the tournament entry fee. However, it does not include the uniform fee, spectator fees for parents at the tournament (typically $10 per person), team-building event fees (usually 2 events per season, under $60 each), or the AAU membership fee ($30).

​

Athletes who join a Pilot Team remain eligible to try out for our more competitive teams if interested. To be considered for these teams, they must register for tryouts separately. If selected for a competitive team, such as our Regional or National divisions, you’ll only need to pay the difference between the Pilot Team tuition and the higher-tier team tuition. Please note that we have a strict no-refund policy, so please commit only if you’re certain of participating for the full season. [Our System TeamSnap, does offer a tuition insurance option on checkout, which we highly recommend.]

​

Many athletes have started in the Pilot Division and progressed to our competitive teams, including Amethyst and even Sapphire (Regional Division Teams)! The Pilot season is an affordable and welcoming way to explore club volleyball on a smaller scale.

 

For those seeking greater challenges, we also offer Regional and National Divisions. The Regional Division is competitive, while the National Division represents our highest level, with opportunities to compete in prestigious national tournaments like AAU Nationals in Orlando, FL.  To be considered for our competitive teams, register for tryouts below or to skip tryouts and sample a mini club season, click the Pilot Team registration.
