Rise Academy
Only for the most competitive athletes, this collaboration with the Grand Rapids Rise Professional volleyball program is a first-of-its kind in the volleyball landscape. This club-within-a-club concept will include incredible amenities, a world class apparel package, cutting-edge training and at a value that none can match. For more information, check out our social media channels or grriseacademy.com
Premier
Offered at each of our three locations (Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Holland), this level is for elite athletes in the area who want to play on a six-month team while also training to play in college, HS varsity or a higher level. Premier team members will practice two days a week and will play in the best Power League in Michigan as well as highly competitive two and three-day tournaments throughout the season. We will absolutely work with two-sport athletes, but we may ask players in our Premier program to only participate in one activity or school sport outside of the MVA season so as to limit scheduling conflicts.
Regional
Offered at each of our three locations (Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Holland), this level offers a three-month season for those players who are looking to continue working on their skills and improving for their next school season. By far our most popular option because these athletes get a competitive schedule, quality facilities and fantastic coaches but with less travel and cost. Practices are led by our finest and most experienced lead coaches.
616 Teams
MVA 616 is a local and affordable alternative for families who do not want to commit to travel volleyball teams. The 616 program exists to bridge the gap between MVA camps and clinics and travel teams.
This program is designed to provide players with a season of learning the fundamentals of volleyball with a commitment to keeping it fun. With 2 seasons to choose from, this program utilizes our incredible facilities to host training and competition within several different age groups.
Offered U12-U14 at Grand Rapids only
