Winter Programs

The Registration "Winter Programs" is not currently available.

2024 Winter Youth Academy

Description:

The Winter program is designed to give players an opportunity to continue playing volleyball if they do not have the opportunity to play on their Junior High volleyball team.  The program will be geared to give all players a solid foundation of skills to prepare them to play in the Illini Elite Spring Youth season (for 5th-8th graders) as well as give them the opportunity to make their Junior High teams next year. 

Practices will be heavily skill based to give all players a solid foundation of the fundamental volleyball skills to prepare them for the spring season.  We’ll cover all skills such as serving, passing, attacking, setting, and more! This will not be a Train & Play program as we have done in the past so that we can maximize skill development for players at every level. There will still be gameplay and lots of fun!

Winter program is open to 3rd - 8th grade players.  All new players are welcome!  It is not required to have played with Illini Elite before.

Space WILL be limited and we will open registration at 1pm  on Thursday, December 7th.
