League Operations

  1. Season Operations: The Next Level Girls Core Volleyball program in Salinas will run with 7 program dates over the program schedule.
  2. Program Dates: The Next Level Girls Core Volleyball program takes place on Sundays at Hartnell College. Parents only need to set aside up to 1.5 hours for their child’s participation.
  3. Program Details: 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. Unlike other Next Level programs that follow a distinct practice-to-game format, the volleyball program integrates instruction and team play throughout the program. There are no fixed transitions from practice to match play. Instead, players will be guided through various skill-building exercises led by Next Level Volleyball coaches, gradually progressing toward more team-oriented scrimmages in the latter portion of the program.
