WHICH TEAM TIER OF FISSION FITS YOU?

Fission was founded to be South Georgia’s ultimate volleyball experience, but that experience comes with flexibility for you and your family. Fission’s five different team Tiers allow you to cater your experience to your unique circumstances and desires. Wanting to learn more about the difference between Fission’s DEVELOPMENTAL, LOCAL, REGIONAL, NATIONAL, and ELITE team tiers? Review the summary chart and descriptions below as you assess which Tier is best for you and your family.

• DEVELOPMENTAL TEAMS: for young players. For players and families that are young – and therefore less experienced – but are still interested in an introduction to club volleyball. Developmental teams will get the benefits of club-level coaching and player development without having to over-commit at such a young age.

• LOCAL TEAMS: for casual players. For players and families that don’t have the interest, time, or means for a more involved club volleyball experience with Fission. Local teams will practice less, play less, travel less, and pay less, so it is ideal for those that are newer to the game and/or the club volleyball scene.

• REGIONAL TEAMS: for committed players. For players and families that are looking to get more out of their club volleyball experience with Fission. Regional teams will practice more, play more, and travel more, allowing for greater player development in a more competitive playing and practicing environment.

• NATIONAL TEAMS: for champion players. For players and families that not only want to compete as a Regional team but also want to structure their season around playing at a Nationals tournament. Although similar to Regional, a National team may play in more competitive divisions and more Qualifiers.

• ELITE TEAMS: for collegiate players. For players and families that are looking to get the absolute most out of their club volleyball experience as they prepare for their collegiate volleyball experience. Elite teams are comprised of only the best talent, playing in the Open Division of only the best tournaments, maximizing their exposure to recruiters.

  When buying your ticket for Tryouts, you will be asked to select which Tier (or Tiers) that you are willing and able to participate in for the 2027 season. Your assessment of which Tier(s) is most appropriate for you should be based on a combination of player talent, time commitment, and financial feasibility. Multiple Tiers can be selected. Your selection(s) is not final, and placements on a team of that Tier is not guaranteed.
