How many elite teams does ECE have?
For 2024-2025 season, ECE hosts six Elite Teams including 13 Tempest, 14 Tornados, 15 Storm, 16 Cyclones, 17 Tsunami, and 17 Typhoon .
What does ECE offer for elite teams?
Our elite teams will generally practice two times a week (approximately 4 hours weekly), with the exception of tournament weekends. Our club season starts from December and ends on Memorial Day in May. ECE’s Elite teams normally participate in tournaments from January through the end of May (except for the 18 Typhoon Elite Team that normally ends at early April) . EEC’s Elite teams travel to some of the largest volleyball tournaments in the country. Elite teams’ players have high expectations placed on them, in terms of the financial and time commitments they owe to the club and in terms of the positive personal character traits expected from them.
Does ECE have practice teams or taxi positions?
Generally, ECE seeks up to 2 reserve elite players (practice players) per team. Fees for reserve elite players are approximately half the price of the fees for our other elite players. Reserve elite players (practice players) are also required to attend ECE’s tryouts and assessed by ECE Coaches. Once players receive offers by ECE coaches, they will attend practices and receive the same training as our other elite players, but they will not typically attend tournaments (they may be asked to attend a tournament as a sub). This is a wonderful option for dual-sport athletes or for players hoping to just keep their volleyball skills fresh throughout the year. If you would like to be considered for this role, please let us know on your tryouts registration form.
