Travel team — statewide
Compete on the SSOVA and AVP America circuits in Siesta Key, St. Pete and Tavares. Add the Away Coaching Pass — $75 per player, per away tournament — only when you register for an away event. It covers the coach's travel, warm-ups, scouting and sideline coaching.
Can my athlete join in the middle of a season?
Yes — enrollment is open year-round. Membership is rolling: it starts on the day you sign up, covers whatever season is running, and continues into the following seasons with no re-registration. You can book practices right away.
How does the monthly membership work?
$249 is charged once a month from your sign-up date, with a 3-month minimum commitment. It covers unlimited practices* across every track in Fall, Winter and Spring (*a minimum of 3 players must be booked for a practice time slot to hold), flowing season to season, plus the included jersey and AVP game ball.
What is the cancellation policy?
Membership has a 3-month minimum commitment. Send 30 days’ written notice to info@naplesbeachvolleyball.com to cancel; cancellation cannot take effect before the end of your third month. After that, membership continues month to month. If you only need a 2-month season, choose the full season pass instead.
How do the four summer weeks work?
Summer runs 10 weeks, Monday through Thursday, 8 – 11 am. Members choose any four weeks that fit around vacations and travel.
What if my athlete gets injured?
With documentation from a physician we pause billing immediately until your athlete is cleared, or cancel with no penalty.
What happens if it rains?
We never practice in lightning conditions. If weather delays or cancels a practice, parents are notified in the team group chat. Whenever possible, we do our best to make up missed rain days.
Do you accept Step Up For Students?
Yes. We provide monthly invoices and receipts with the documentation required for reimbursement.
How it works
Seasonal program details
Our programs run seasonally — summer, fall and winter — while the spring season is reserved for high school competition. High-school athletes finish NBV winter training January 31 as school preseason begins, while younger athletes continue through February. Sign up for an entire season and save, or simply join us for a week or a day based on your availability.
We typically run an under-12 group and a 12-and-over group with a dedicated coach for each. Training lasts anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the season.
Practice times and locations vary from season to season. We practice at multiple locations including Fleischmann Park, Lowdermilk Park, Paradise Coast Sports Complex and Estero Recreational Center.
Finally, private training is always available year-round from one of our certified coaches. Simply reserve a session for one or up to eight players at a time and location that works for you.
