A balanced club experience

This program is a great option for athletes who want to continue building skills and competing without the full demands of a traditional club season.

Club Lite is designed for families who want a competitive volleyball experience without the full-time commitment of a traditional club season. Players receive consistent coaching, structured practices, and tournament play while maintaining a schedule that feels more manageable for school, family time, and other activities.

Club Lite coaches focus on teaching strong fundamentals, building confidence, and helping players grow within a positive team environment. Often, they are newer coaches who have been trained and supported by Austin Velocity. They work within the club’s coaching standards and focus on creating a positive environment where athletes can build fundamentals, confidence, and game understanding throughout the season.

Club Lite teams compete primarily in local tournaments, which helps families enjoy a club experience without extensive travel. Players still gain valuable match experience, learn how tournaments work, and compete in a structured environment, while most events remain within a reasonable driving distance of the Austin area.

This program is a great next step for athletes who are ready to move beyond recreational volleyball and continue improving their skills. Players have the opportunity to develop their technique, game understanding, teamwork, and confidence through regular practice and live competition during the season.

Why families choose Club Lite

A smart middle ground between rec and full club

Austin Velocity Club Lite gives athletes a more advanced team experience while keeping the season structure manageable. Families get consistent coaching, meaningful tournament play, and a strong development environment without the heavier time and financial demands of a full club team.

USAV Membership & Scorer Clinic
USA Volleyball membership is mandatory to be able to participate. Teams must have certified scorekeepers to complete reffing duties at tournaments, so players will need to attend a scorer clinic.

USAV Age Groups: Please carefully check your athlete’s birthdate and which age group you should be registering for. We follow USAV guidelines and players must play in their age group. They may not play down an age group if their birthdates do not line up with that age group. Players may play up an age group on certain scenarios.
