Player Development Program (PDP)

Top Caliber is excited to introduce our new Player Development Program this year, aimed at cultivating youth volleyball in our community. This program is designed for children ages 9-13, who have some experience in rec leagues or clinics, or who are new to the sport but have a keen interest in pursuing travel volleyball in the future.

Participants will practice weekly on Sundays alongside our state level travel teams, where they will receive coaching from our skilled instructors. The program focuses on developing fundamental volleyball skills through both structured drills and game-like scenarios, and players will have the chance to learn and play all positions on the court.

Athletes will also have the opportunity to participate in game-like environments through scrimmages within our club, as well as with other clubs in eastern North Carolina with similar programs. This offers a chance to put these skills into practice in a competitive setting. The season runs from mid November to March, and we strongly encourage athletes to join our Fall Academy beforehand to get the most out of their experience. After the Player Development Program concludes, participants can opt to continue their training with our Spring Academy.

Registration is officially open on our website.  We have held one set of evaluations during our middle school tryouts, and now have opened up the program for new registrations!  Once registration closes on November 30th, athletes will attend our first session on December 1st and we will evaluate them then. We look forward to growing the sport and enhancing player development through both the PDP and Academy programs!

Cost for PDP is $550 and includes 15 sessions (practice/play) and a T-shirt (Uniform).  This is paid in 2 installments of 275 on October 15th and January 1st. 

** New registrants will pay the first installment when they register.
