What is Academy League?
Academy League is a place for young players to develop their love of volleyball and skill level. Whether they are entry level or have played before, Academy League provides training in the fundamentals of the game. Our goal is to give players the tools and opportunities to build on fundamental skills by providing training and game experience with coaches that know and love the game. Coaches come from within our core group of NORCO coaches and are directed by our extremely experienced professional staff.

Vision & Goals for NORCO Youth Programs
Our goal in offering youth programs is to provide a welcoming and affirming environment where young players develop both skills and a life-long love for the game.
The youth program at NORCO has a direct impact on the growth volleyball in Northern Colorado, as well as the viability of our club program as a whole. While learning about the game of volleyball, the participants in our youth programs create a pool of players for local schools and club programs, along with future coaches and refs.
Our Purpose is to:
- Motivate and encourage the elementary & middle school population to develop a love for the game of volleyball. Instill NORCO core values into all programs so players are developing on and off of the court.
- Offer new ideas for existing programs and innovate current programs to create a well-rounded and updated youth program.
- Connect NORCO Core players and coaches, local college players and local business to the NORCO Youth Program to create a sense of community.
