National TWO LEVELS U14-U18

Our national team programs are designed for players aiming to compete in college or develop into top-tier athletes. With a focus on maximum commitment and high-level training, we offer two levels of national team competition for the 2024-2025 season.

The MGA promise of a higher level of training depends, in part, on players to be 100% committed to their team and to plan ahead so as to not miss any dates/events. National teams are highly competitive with an expectation of strict adherence to attendance policies , the ability of players to manage their academic and athletic schedules. Our expected priorities for this group are: family , education and MGA volleyball commitment.

SUMMER ONLY HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE
MGA is happy to announce the launch of our new High School Summer League. The league will run on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5-8. Each team will have a 90-minute wave per night in which they will play 2 matches and officiate 1 match. The league will consist of multiple high school varsity, and JV teams, as well as some national club-level teams.  Throughout the summer, every team will play each other in order for the teams to see a wide variety of play, and to play teams they might not usually play during their season. The summer will be capped off with a playoff to determine the winner of our first-ever summer league!
