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 after-school practices* 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.

Skills testing
We like to establish each player's individual level through a series of basic skills tests. The tests advance throughout our program in level of difficulty and complexity. Our goal is to find out where our players are now, then set realistic goals given their available training time in order to measure their progress. It also helps players understand their own strengths and weaknesses for focused training.
