2026 Summer Teams

At a time when many clubs are stepping away from summer volleyball, Arizona Legacy is choosing to lean in. We believe the summer months are one of the most important development windows in an athlete’s journey.

This is where skills are refined, confidence is built, and athletes begin to understand what it truly means to train with purpose and consistency.

Whether your athlete is just beginning their club volleyball journey or looking to continue building at a higher level, this program is designed to meet them where they are and help them grow.

As boys volleyball continues to grow across the Valley and nationally, the competition for roster spots, college opportunities, and long term development is only increasing. Too often, true development is replaced by short term approaches.

At Arizona Legacy, we are committed to doing it the right way by creating an environment that prioritizes growth, accountability, and long term success.

Required Documents for Placement Day

The Arizona Region has moved to a fully digital registration process.

In previous seasons, families were required to submit concussion forms and other documents directly to their club. Beginning this boys season, those forms are now included as part of your Arizona Region USA Volleyball membership and will be completed during the registration process.

Families should complete their USA Volleyball membership prior to placement day and bring a completed Arizona Region Medical Release Form.

Please note that a copy of your athlete’s birth certificate is still required at check-in for age verification.

Summer Team FAQs

Please reach us at Daniel@azlegacyvolleyball.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is the difference between the 14U team and the additional summer teams?

The 14U team has a fixed schedule due to athletes not being able to drive them selves. While we have athletes continuing from spring this roster is not completed and needs additional athletes. Additional summer teams (15U–18U) will be formed after evaluations and tryouts based on athlete turnout and team needs.

How are teams selected?

Teams are formed based on evaluations, positional needs, roster balance, and overall turnout. Our goal is to create the most competitive and developmentally appropriate teams possible.

Will my athlete be guaranteed a spot on a team?

No. While we aim for no cuts for developmental opportunities like summer we may need to based on roster sizes and teams formed. Our goal is to place as many athletes as possible, placement is not guaranteed and depends on roster availability and team structure.

What is the difference between evaluations and tryouts?

Evaluations (May 11 and 13) allow athletes to be assessed in a training environment. Tryouts/Placement Day (May 16) is when final team decisions are made.

Does my athlete need to attend both evaluation days?

It is strongly recommended but not required.

What if my athlete cannot attend tryouts (May 16)?

You must email daniel@azlegacyvolleyball.com in advance. Registration is still required, and we will do our best to accommodate an alternate evaluation.

How often are practices?

Teams train approximately twice per week, including one Elite U performance session.

How long are practices?

Team practices are 2 hours. Elite U sessions are 1 hour. On days Elite U is included athletes are expected to bring light meal for in-between sessions to stay fueled as the session length is 3 hours total with EliteU and practice.

Can we choose between morning or evening practice slots?

We will consider preferences, but final placement is based on team formation, roster balance, facility availability, and coach availability. We will aim to place a 17s or 18s group in the morning session as those athletes typically drive them selves.

What if we have conflicts with some practice dates?

We understand summer schedules vary. Occasional conflicts are expected, but athletes are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible. There are no discounts or refunds for missed practices or Elite U sessions
