 The goal is for EACH Adrenaline team to have a maximum of 10 players, unless approved by AVBC Director. No Adrenaline player will be considered for a team UNLESS that player gets adequate playing time. However, the amount of playing time will be the ultimate decision of the AVBC Coaching Staff and the work/commitment of that individual player. 

 AVBC is known for being “elite,” few teams and few players per team. The number of established teams each Club Season is based on the tryout numbers. There have been instances where there will be more than one team in the same age group if needed. We have had as many as 10 teams in a season as opposed to the 2 teams we started with 14 years ago. Our goal is to remain small, elite, and competitive while addressing the number of players at tryouts each season. 

The fee for Adrenaline is $1200. This fee covers player insurance, coaches’ salaries, gym rentals, and tournament fees (8). Fundraisers will be considered to help with other club expenses as needed. There will also be an extra expense for the required Adrenaline Bundle with team gear and apparel. This bundle will include items such as spandex, leggings, pajama pants, bags, etc. once it is decided on for the  Club Season. That extra apparel will be known as our “bundle” and will be at a discounted fee but is part of the uniform attire required. Bundles run between $200-$250 and are NOT part of the $1200 club fee. Adrenaline apparel in the Bundle is not repeated from season to season. 

 The fee can be split up in 2 installments or in full. The first payment will be due November 15, 2024, and the second/final payment will be due on January 1, 2025. Players that choose to split their payments will have to pay AT LEAST half by November 15, 2024. If the half payment is not paid by  November 15, 2024, OR full payment made by January 1, 2025, PLAYERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICES OR TOURNAMENTS UNTIL IT IS PAID IN FULL. Players that choose to pay in full will have to pay the full fee by November 15, 2024. ALL Adrenaline financial transactions will be confidential and should an unforeseen circumstance arise, the AVBC Director reserves the right to adjust the payment plan, on an as needed basis. Please do not let money be the reason your child misses out on an opportunity to play club volleyball. 

  Adrenaline practices a NO REFUND policy. If a player chooses to NOT finish the Club Season or a player is injured and cannot finish the Club Season, there are NO REFUNDS. In the event that another world epidemic occurs, and tournaments cancel, there will be NO REFUNDS granted in the 2024-2025 Club Season.

Adrenaline Teams play a minimum of 8 tournaments based on the age group and tournament availability. The Adrenaline budget is designed to finance 8 tournaments depending on tournament and Coaching Staff availability. All tournament schedules will be set up based on tournament and Coaching Staff availability. Tournaments begin mid January and run through the end of April. The availability of tournaments varies from month to month. The average tournaments are scheduled for at least twice a month. For the older age groups, the AVBC Director reserves the right to recommend and sign teams up for more challenging tournaments with college exposure.

Tournaments that are considered local are held in Chattanooga, Dalton, and Cleveland areas. Out of town tournament are usually no more than 2-2 ½ hours unless there is a specific opportunity to play in a more challenging event. These events usually occur in Atlanta, Nashville, Knoxville, and Birmingham. If an Adrenaline Team gains a national bid, the AAU National Tournament is in Orlando, Florida. National bid tournaments are 3-day tournaments, but most overnight tournaments are 2 days. There are still some 1-day tournaments but they are slowly being transitioned into a 2-day format. Most of the 1-day tournaments are for younger teams but there are some instances where they have 1-day tournaments for older age groups. Should a tournament arise that is farther than 2 ½ hours, team discussions will be necessary. For 3-day and 2-day tournaments usually include round robin format (2-3 games) and then tournament play (single or double elimination) will occur on the last day. For 1-day tournaments it is an ALL day event with 3-4 round robin games and then tournament play after.

AVBC will practice a minimal of 2 times a week except for the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas. AVBC Coaching Staff reserves the right to add an additional practice in an “open gym” format but it will be optional for players to attend. On the week of a tournament, coaches have to optional to add/reduce practice times based on the event and scheduling.

Adrenaline Volleyball Club was founded in Chickamauga, Georgia. However, the GAVC Founder and Director now lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee. AVBC IS NOT JUST A GEORGIA CLUB. We actually follow the tryout schedule with SRVA for Tennessee tryout times because the address of the club is in Tennessee. It is based on the address of the club, not the name. Practices occur throughout the community at local churches and school gyms, depending on the AVBC Team. Our goal is to make practice locations convenient for our parents if at all possible.
