Team Levels
CAVC offers multiple team levels each season in an effort to provide opportunities for athletes in a variety of situations to be able to play volleyball in a competitive environment and continue to develop as athletes.
In general, we have three team levels - Club, Power, and Elite. How many teams of each level and which age groups those teams are available in varies each year, depending on tournament availability, coach availability, player demand, player skill level, etc. You can read more about our 3 team levels below.
