Playing time in our competitive programs will vary depending on the age category of the team. Younger teams typically use fair play models. While our older competitive teams may not. Usually 16U-18U age groups do not use an equal playing time model for various reasons. For example, some positions transition in and out of the game (liberos) and other times an athlete’s position on a team may be serving specialist and they may be subbed in for an athlete to serve and play until a side out occurs. Our coaches are trained to provide an experience for each athlete that is much more than just the time they are played in a game. It is important to remember that, in a competitive atmosphere, each athlete has a job, whether it is on or off of the court during games.
