Boys Travel & Non-Travel


General Travel Team Info

Being a player on a travel team is a big commitment which includes tryouts, practices, travel for tournaments, and a financial investment.

From November through May, all SBVC travel team athletes will practice two times per week and travel to and attend one or two-day tournaments hosted by SoCal Cup (SCC).

Teams will have travel schedules that will also include one to three additional tournaments to attend throughout the season. These tournaments will be 3-day events with overnight stays in the hosting city. These tournaments can include AAU Qualifiers and USAV/AAU National Championships, which all take place across the nation from California to Florida.

Schedules per Travel Team will be set prior to the start of each season with the associated dues cost for participation. If teams choose to attend additional tournaments over and above the set schedule, additional costs will be added to cover the extra tournament fees and travel costs.

Going back almost 20 years, many of the top players growing up in Santa Barbara competed with SBVC, including former Olympians, NCAA All-Americans, CIF Champions, and All-Channel League stars.

The Club intends to build a competitive schedule for the teams we offer to field, which will largely depend upon the team's level and desire. If we have teams who want to play at the highest level, compete at various USAV qualifiers to earn a bid to Nationals, and have a rigorous season, we’ll build a schedule that best prepares the team to achieve those goals. If we have teams that just want to play in a regular league schedule and prepare for their high school season without the high cost of serious travel, we can build a schedule that suits them. 

Boys 14s-18s teams will begin practices in September and will run through June.


*14U and younger team schedules will go from September through June while the 15U and older team schedules will have a break for CIF mid-February through mid-May.


Boys Non-Travel Team Training Info

SBVC is excited to kick off our new Boys Non-Travel Training Team! With the number of players seeking ways to stay involved leading up to their respective high school season, this new program will allow players to refine and develop their skills without the cost and commitment of a travel team. 

The Training Team will practice two nights per week at Santa Barbara City College on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7-9pm. If we "lose" SBCC as a site due to a scheduling conflict with SBCC-specific programming, we will move to another location such as UCSB or Bishop Diego. 

Dave Goss and our Club Staff will lead the Training Team. Training begins Sep 25th, there will be 22 sessions, and participation is limited to 30 players—no session on October 4th or November 1st. 

The cost for the program will be $800 per player. If the program sells out, a waiting list will be maintained to allow players to register as space allows.
