<h2>League Operations</h2>
<ol><li><em>Season Operations:</em> The Next Level Girls Core Volleyball program at Castro Valley High School will run with 8 program dates over the program schedule.</li><li><em>Program Dates:</em> This program operates on Sundays at Castro Valley High School - parents need only allocate up to a 1.5 hour window of availability for their child's involvement.</li><li><em>Program Details:</em> This program is focused primarily on instructional skill development, providing athletes with targeted training and structured drills to build a strong foundation in volleyball fundamentals. Players will have ample opportunities to enhance their skills through structured drills, with modified gameplay scenarios introduced gradually as fundamental techniques are established.

<h2>Site Director</h2>
<p class="director-name">Coach Maggie Del Grande</p>
<div><p>Maggie Del Grande was born and raised in Castro Valley. A former two-sport Trojan athlete (softball and volleyball), Maggie graduated from CVHS in 2017, where she excelled as a defensive standout out the court. Continuing her playing career as an outside hitter/defensive specialist at Ohlone College (2017-2019), her Renegades squad broke and still hold the record for single season wins (20+). Maggie returned to Castro Valley High School as a coach in 2020 and took over the reins of the program and the varsity volleyball team in 2021. She has since guided the Trojans to the NCS playoffs every season - in 2023, she coached the team to their first league championship since 2002. Maggie has also coached club for 8 years and is currently a CVUSD substitute teacher.</p></div>
