Each year, there are two Developmental Program seasons – summer and spring. For the spring season, tryouts will take place in late fall and for the summer season, in early spring. Tryouts take place in Southern California in Huntington Beach and/or Hermosa Beach.

Teams are carefully selected by p1440’s team of coaches and trainers who evaluate individuals across numerous technical and tactical scenarios. While each player is evaluated individually, teams are selected to be a part of the program, not individual players.

The fee to try out is $150/team.

In unique situations, coaches can extend invitations to teams they believe would benefit from participation in the program and increase the overall skill level of the program. These invitations are offered at the discretion of the coaching staff and are not open for solicitation of teams.

Any athlete interested in the program must find a partner for tryouts. Partners can be changed throughout the season.

Once dates are announced, interested athletes can register at Volleyballlife.com.

The teams participate in training groups located in Hermosa Beach, CA or Huntington Beach, CA in the morning 1-3 days/week for 2 hours, depending on the season. We offer 20 weeks of practices for both men and women for the summer session.

We welcome players from all over the world.

There are five (5) Intra Squad competitions offered per season at which teams can evaluate their performance in game-like situations while competing against teams from other training locations. p1440’s ranking system is used to seed a single elimination bracket, much like a pro qualification tournament to expose and test teams’ training in a competitive environment. Players will also be required to participate in selected AVP and CBVA tournaments.
