Prime fields club teams for players of all ages and experience levels from first time players to college bound student athletes on nationally competitive teams. Prime's adidas teams have been ranked among the top teams in Southern California and have medaled at multiple USA Volleyball Junior National Qualifiers. Prime Alums have gone on to be named NCAA All-Americans and NCAA National Champions! Please visit our Hall of Fame page to see some of our Prime Fam's accomplishments!
Prime's focus with all of our club teams is to create a positive learning environment where our highly qualified coaching staff provides the training and feedback athletes need to become their best.
Prime's teams practice 3 times a week for 2 hours each session with the exception of our 11 adidas and 12 Molten Teams which practice twice a week for 2 hours
The club season runs from late October through early July for our 11s, 12s, 13s, and 14s teams and runs from late November through early July for our 15s, 16s, 17s, and 18s teams
The youngest athletes we have on our club teams are 4th and 5th graders and the most common age that athletes start playing on a club team is 6th grade.
Club tryouts are in early October for our 11s, 12s, 13s, and 14s teams while tryouts are in late July for our 15s, 16s, 17s, and 18s teams
All of our youth development programs and summer camps are a great starting point and then we highly recommend attending multiple Pre-Tryout Skills Clinic sessions as they are a great opportunity to work with our Prime club coaches and play with potential club teammates
Our teams compete in tournaments 1-2 times a month and SCVA tournaments are rarely more than an hour away and are often in the Orange County area. Please consult the SCVA Tournament Schedule for local tournament dates for each age group. In addition our teams may travel to out of state USAV National Qualifiers with our adidas teams travelling more than our Molten, Blue, and White teams.

TRAVEL COSTS AND FEES ARE NOT INCLUDED (tournament cost, housing, transportation, and food for athletes and coaches)
Travel fees will be charged seperately at the start of the season. Each 3 day tournament fee is $350 while 4 day tournaments will be charged at $450 and this covers the tournament entry fee and housing, transportation and food for all coaches.
Player transportation and hotel costs are paid by families independently as flights and housing are booked by families directly with families booking through the tournament housing systems we are required to use. All families must stay at the team hotel for all travel tournaments.
Prime team rosters are typically 12 players but sometimes a team might have one more or one less player depending on the makeup of the team. Rosters with at least 12 athletes allow for better training opportunities during practice sessions as it allows our teams to play 6 on 6 volleyball to best prepare for competition.
Prime VC does not offer any guarantee of playing time to any athlete. Our purpose is to compete and be successful at the highest levels locally and nationally. While our coaches will do their best to get all team members on the court to gain tournament experience, our coaches’ priority at tournaments is making decisions that are in the best interest of the team as a whole and its success. Players will be expected to earn their starting position or playing time every day in practice. Factors that can affect playing time are: attendance at practice, attitude and work ethic, leadership skills, team chemistry, statistical analysis, and performance during practices and matches. Players on the bench are expected to encourage and show their support for players on the court. Poor attitudes or negative behavior will not be tolerated. All athletes will have equal opportunity to play, compete, learn, and improve during all practice sessions which is where the majority of learning and progress occurs, assuming their attendance at practices is consistent.
During the summer we offer multiple sessions of our 4 day All Skills Camps which are a great opportunity for athletes of all ages and experience levels including first time players. Athletes will learn and work on technically sound fundamentals, improve their skills, and have some fun!
In addition we offer Advanced Summer Camps for club and high school players with competitive club level experience who are looking for ways to elevate their game and play with and against other competitive athletes.
Leading up to both the 15s-18s tryouts and the 11s-14s tryouts we host Pre-Tryout Skills Clinics so that athletes have the opportunity to work with our Prime VC Staff and play with potential teammates.
