Adult Skill Level Ranking


Levels are an adaptation of International standards (FIVB), USA Volleyball standards and AVP standards.  We take our skill ranking of players serious.  Players who desire to receive a high ranking must have more than just potential.  It has to be proven on the court with concrete evidence and consistency. So when self ranking, make sure to not rank yourself what you wish you were or what you use to be, but what skill level you currently play at right at this very moment.
