Other Questions

Can multi-sport athletes play on FR teams?

Absolutely YES.  A number of multi-sport athletes play at Front Range, especially in the younger age groups and on our club teams in each age division.  We always encourage our younger players to explore themselves athletically through other sports in addition to volleyball.

Where do the teams practice?

All Front Range teams practice in one location at our facility near¬†E470 and Peoria Road. ¬†Having one location to call “home” enhances our ability to offer a consistent, high quality program; to facilitate communication with all facets of the club; to have the older players mentor and serve as role models for younger players; and to foster a sense of community among all the players and families.¬†Directions to our training facility.¬†

How much do teams practice?

The amount that a team practices varies from each age group.  This season the 12s, 13s, and 14s teams will practice two times per week, with an additional optional practice skill session every Monday night.  The 15-1, 16-1, 17-1, and 17-2 teams will practice three times per week, with an additional optional practice skill session every Monday night. 15-2 practice two times per week. This includes on court time, setting training, and our volleyball-specific strength and conditioning program.  There are no additional charges and no additional days required for our strength and conditioning training Рit is incorporated into our practice sessions and these costs are included in the dues.  View our 2016-2017 practice schedule here.

How long is the season?

The practice season is approximately 30 weeks long, from mid-November to late June/early July.  Teams in the 12’s and 13’s age group have a slightly shorter season – their season ranges from mid-November to early May.

What does it cost?

Each team’s¬†dues depend¬†primarily¬†on¬†the¬†amount of¬†practice time¬†the team has, both per week and over the season. ¬†This calculation also considers¬†the coach of the team¬†and¬†the number of players¬†we expect to have on the team. ¬†Dues are comparable to or lower than other RMR clubs and other nationally competitive clubs around the country when the amount of training time is considered. ¬†The “hours per week” listed are approximate and include volleyball training plus strength and conditioning training. ¬†ALL TRAVEL EXPENSES ARE ADDITIONAL.

Front Range dues are all inclusive, except for travel expenses. Dues include:

  • Facilities fees
  • Coaching fees
  • Uniforms and equipment, including practice and game uniforms
