Virginia Elite is excited to announce that registration is officially open for the 2026 Fall Middle School Academy & League!
Now entering our 18th year of Fall Middle School Training, the program provides athletes entering 6th–8th grade with eight weeks of high-quality training and competition designed to develop their skills, increase their volleyball IQ, and prepare them for the upcoming club season.
Train During the Week. Compete on Saturday.
The Fall Middle School Academy & League combines two weekday training sessions with Saturday league competition, giving athletes the opportunity to develop their skills during the week and immediately put them into action in a competitive environment.
Throughout the eight-week program, athletes will participate in:
- Two weekday training sessions focused on skill development and technique
- Saturday league competition
- Draft-style teams, with new team assignments every two weeks
- Individual competition points and leaderboards throughout the Academy
The rotating team format challenges athletes to compete alongside different players throughout the fall while individual points reward performance and competitiveness across the entire program.
