Our Juniors Travel Program is designed for girls and boys aged 10-18 years and offers a travel experience for players of all skill levels.
Players are able to begin training in December, with formal practices 2-3 times per week running through July. During this time, teams compete in an average of 6-10 tournaments with locations dependent on individual team.
We boast a first class management team and coaching line up with many of the top collegiate and high school coaches in the area on staff.
We offer the lowest tuition rates from Richmond to DC for comparable level teams at the Elite/National and regional levels.
Our travel tuition is all inclusive, even including Nationals for our Elite/National teams. You won't have any additional charges throughout the year!
We have our own dedicated 4 court volleyball facility with additional weight room space that is open to ALL teams for additional training time.
We offer year round programming offered at a discounted rate to 540 Travel Players (and family members) including private lessons, camps, clinics, and more.
We are constantly making our facility better! Upcoming upgrades include a state of the art weight room open for travel volleyball players, spectator seating, lounge area for parents, players, and family members, increased signage/branding, and much more!
540 Volleyball Academy will now be hosting tournaments to which teams can be added at no cost to families, offering them additional opportunities to compete at their home gym.
Elite level teams are designed for athletes that are looking to compete at the highest level nationally. Our Elite teams will train 3 times per week from December-June, play in 10 tournaments including USAV or AAU Nationals (if bid is earned, the team will attend USAV Nationals), be expected to utilize HUDL & NeuroFuel services, and will competing for the best results in each tournament. Playing time is not guaranteed on our Elite teams.
National level teams are designed for athletes that are also looking for a competitive environment to compete. They will practice 3 times per week from December-June, play in 10 tournaments (some more regionally based) but still including USAV or AAU Nationals (if a bid is earned, the team will attend USAV Nationals), have the ability to use HUDL & Neurofuel, and will compete in tournaments at a lower level than Elite teams in most events. Each player on National teams will be guaranteed playing time in at least one set per day of each tournament.
Regional teams are designed for players that are looking to play volleyball in a less intense environment. It still affords all athletes the opportunity to train 2-3 times per week and access to HUDL services on select teams. Regional teams compete in 6 tournaments throughout Virginia and surrounding states, with seasons ending in May. All players are guaranteed playing time in every match on regional level teams.
Local teams are designed for players new to or less experienced in volleyball. Our local teams are there to introduce these players to travel volleyball in hopes of helping them advance to a regional team in future years.

Many factors that go into our decisions for pricing for all of our travel teams. Each team operates independently on its own budget to ensure that each family’s costs are going directly to their child.
It is important to first understand what the tuition costs do cover:
What it does not include:
Why costs are increasing for the 2024 Travel season:
Yes, you may tryout for multiple age groups. You must register for both age groups. A player may only advance to a higher age group (i.e “play up”) if they could hypothetically make the elite team of the higher age group.
We are still finalizing the uniform package for the 2024 travel season. We will have more information at a later date on the uniform package. We intend to allow 2023 players to use their currently jerseys for this upcoming season.
Yes. Full details on the application process are forthcoming. Families will have to apply and demonstrate need by the deadline that is set. All recipients of financial assistance will be required to play on a regional level team.
Please refer to the USAV age definition chart to determine which age group you should register for.
You can register for whichever time slot works best for your schedule for the first weekend! All players will be notified via email which session to attend for the second weekend*
*The absence of a National tryout invitation for the second weekend does NOT mean that you will not be offered a spot on an Elite or National team.
