Black Teams - National Level

---

The Black Team represents the highest level of competition within Rise Elite and is intended for athletes who are committed to taking their volleyball journey to the next level. This program is designed for experienced players who are motivated to challenge themselves through advanced training, high-level competition, and a greater commitment to their development as athletes. Practices are more demanding, with an increased focus on technique, strategy, physical preparedness, and team performance.

Athletes on the Black Team should be prepared for a competitive environment that requires dedication, accountability, and a strong work ethic. The team will compete primarily in USAV events and may have opportunities for out-of-state travel when fundraising and scheduling allow. This level is designed to prepare athletes for success at the highest levels available to them while fostering a passion for the game that extends beyond the season.
