Frequently Asked Questions
What age is appropriate to start playing?
Our program is designed to work with players 8-11 years old. This is really a starting point for players that want to learn the sport and develop into potential volleyball players as they get older.
If a player is younger (7-8 years old), we do offer a "beginners" team that would probably suit their age best.
The other teams will have 9-11 year olds playing together; however, some 9-10 year olds may play beginner as well.
It really comes down to how developed or experienced a player is.
Can my 7th or 8th grader sign up to play?
We do not offer developmental teams for this age. We mainly stick to 5th graders and below because we offer club teams for experienced 5th graders and older.
How do tournaments work for Developmental Teams?
Tournaments are mainly on Sundays and are half day events. Our schedules try to set up for the teams to play in 1 tournament a month. All schedules are determined by the start of season and will be given out to the families well ahead of time.
Players in developmental will be allowed to serve from inside the court. Once a player establishes they can make their serve over the net, they will have to start progressing back towards the end line. They will keep score and have refs.
How do practices work for Stellar Stars?
All practices are held at our home facility, Houston Stellar Training Facility. The teams will practice on Friday evenings for 1.5 hours each week. The practices are coach led. Questions regarding training can be directed to our Developmental Director, Claire Zanon.
How do the payments work for season?
Each player has to pay a deposit upon registering to hold their spot. ($250). The remaining portions are broken up into monthly payments. Families can choose to pay all at one time as well.
Price for Full Season:
Full Season Payment Schedule: Deposit of $250 due at time of registration and 3 equal installments invoiced on the 1st of each month starting in December.
If a player's payments are delequent, we will not allow them to participate in practices or tournaments until they are current.
All payment questions can be directed to Robin Coonfield, our finance manager.
