VB - General Registration

2025 Next Level Volleyball Season - Hartnell College

Join us for our 1st season of Next Level Volleyball in Salinas at Hartnell College! We are excited to get things rolling with our Next Level Sports staff and Coach Jamie Pedroza.

General Registration is now open for all participants!

The Next Level Girls Volleyball program has been developed to provide aspiring volleyball players an opportunity to learn the basic skills and functions of competitive volleyball - at an introductory yet competitive level. Our program is aimed at the youth athlete who has 'some-to-none' exposure/experience with the game of volleyball yet would like to develop the core skills required to participate at a higher level in the future (club, middle school, high school). Our staff is comprised of current college/club-level volleyball coaches who have taught the game to a wide variety of age groups - both at the more casual level as well as the elite club and elite high school levels. As traditional within Next Level, all teams will be mentored/coached with the assistance of a student-athlete involved within the game.

This program is instructionally based yet will contain head-to-head game activity as a secondary focus.

League Operations

  1. Season Operations: The Next Level Girls Volleyball program at Hartnell College will run with 8 program dates over the program schedule.
  2. Program Dates: This program operates on Sundays at Hartnell College - parents need only allocate up to a 1.5 hour window of availability for their child's involvement. The Next Level Volleyball program is an instructionally based development program with head-to-head game activity as a secondary focus. Players will receive skill specific technique instruction and will have lots of opportunities to work on skill development through drills, as well as modified game play. The volleyball program deviates from the practice/game model that our other Next Level programs use. There are not set program times in the volleyball program, where practice will end and a head-to-head match will begin. Each session, Next Level Volleyball coaches will instruct players through a series of skills and drills, while introducing and working towards being comfortable with team play in the form of scrimmages in the latter half of the program
  3. Team Roster Size: Teams are 10 players maximum, limited exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
  4. Season Fees: $295.00 - Fees are inclusive of a participant's custom volleyball uniform and other equipment/offerings.
