Team Levels Explained
Mizuno Teams
The top-tier competitive program at OPU. Mizuno teams have the heaviest practice and travel schedule. The primary goal is qualifying for USAV National Championships. Best suited for players with significant experience and a strong commitment to the sport.
Power Teams
The middle tier offering a balance of competitive play and manageable commitment. Power teams have a lighter practice and travel schedule than Mizuno while still providing meaningful tournament and development opportunities for growing players.
Thunder Teams
The entry-level program designed for newer players and those seeking a lighter volleyball experience. Thunder teams have the least intensive practice and travel schedule, making this the ideal starting point for players new to club volleyball.
All Programs at OPU
Club Season (10U–18U)
The main competitive program running from fall through spring. Club season teams train and compete at tournaments across Florida and potentially nationally. Three levels (Mizuno, Power, Thunder) are available per age group based on player evaluation.

An introductory program designed specifically for young children ages 5 to 10. Volley Kids introduces the fundamentals of volleyball in a fun, age-appropriate setting before children are old enough for the full club season program.
Spring Mini Club
A shorter-commitment spring program for players who want additional competitive experience or who are not ready for a full club season. Spring Mini Club provides structured team play with a manageable schedule.
Elite Youth Training
Focused training sessions for players looking to accelerate their skill development. Elite Youth Training provides more individualized technical instruction for motivated players who want to take their game to the next level.
Summer Skills & Camps
Summer programming including skills clinics and camps that keep players training and developing during the off-season. These programs are open to players from OPU and outside the club who want to improve their volleyball fundamentals.
Beach Volleyball
Beach volleyball programming adds an outdoor dimension to player development. Beach volleyball builds different athletic skills including footwork, court coverage, and communication, and is a great complement to the indoor game.
