14U Girls and Boys

LTAD Stages: Training to Train

Principle Focus: To build an aerobic base, develop speed (and strength towards the end of the stage for females), and to further develop and consolidate volleyball skills.

Guidelines

a)    Registered teams must play in a minimum of 2 tournaments to a maximum of 5 competitions with a minimum of one being an out of town tournament. Each tournament entered in over the maximum will result in a fine of $275 (equal to an Asics Cup entry fee).

b)    The Asics Sv5T-WL will be the official competition ball for this age category.

c)    14U will utilize the 12 limited substitution rule with no libero.

d)    Head Coaches must be certified Level 1 in Volleyball at the time of registration. First time coaches will be given one year grace period to complete their Level 1.

Seeding

In order to comply with the principles within the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Model, we will not be awarding any points at any tournaments for athletes in the 14U age groups. “During competitions, athletes may play to win and do their best, but the major focus of training is on learning basic volleyball skills and tactics and successfully applying those skills and tactics in competitive situations as opposed to actual competition success” (Volleyball For Life, 2006, pg. 17).

For the Provincial Championships, teams may select whether they would like to play in Division 1 or Division 2. At Provincials, the re-pool structure system will be in effect, as there will be no basis for seeding.
