Freeze Club Program

Where Players Become More.

Minnesota Freeze Volleyball offers a competitive club volleyball experience focused on high-level training, meaningful player development, strong team culture, and developing great people—not just great volleyball players.

Our goal is to create an environment where athletes are challenged, supported, and excited to come to the gym. We care about how our players grow as athletes, teammates, and people, and we work hard to provide an intentional club experience from start to finish.

About Freeze

2026-2027 Club Season

Our club season begins in November and runs through the spring, with some teams continuing into June or July for National tournaments.

All Freeze teams practice twice per week and compete in tournaments throughout the season. The number and level of tournaments, travel requirements, season length, and team fees vary based on age and team level.

Pratices

Official team practices begin November 30, 2026.

The week of Thanksgiving is off for all Freeze families.

All Freeze club teams practice twice per week throughout the season.

12s & Under:

Two 90-minute practices per week.

13s & Older:

Two practices per week consisting of 2 hours of volleyball training plus 30 minutes of strength training led by the professional training staff at H4 Sports Academy.

We generally try to schedule our 14s and younger teams in an earlier evening time frame, around 5:00–7:00 PM, and our 15s and older teams in a later time frame, around 7:00–9:00 PM. These are general time frames only and may vary based on team and facility scheduling.

Specific practice days and times will be provided once teams and schedules are finalized. While we work hard to maintain consistent practice schedules throughout the season, schedules are always subject to change.

Tryouts

Players must attend tryouts and be offered a position with Minnesota Freeze before joining the club.

Athletes who accept a position at tryouts are committing to Minnesota Freeze Volleyball Club, not a specific team. Following tryouts, players will participate in 2–4 additional evaluation practices before final team placements are determined.

For tryout dates, registration, the selection process, and everything you need to know before tryout day, please visit our Tryouts page.

Team Fees

Freeze team fees vary based on age, team level, tournament schedule, and season length. Please review the team fee chart below for our 2026–2027 team fees.

A $1,000 payment toward your athlete's team fee is due on tryout day when accepting a position with Minnesota Freeze Volleyball Club.

Once final team placements are determined, your athlete's total team fee will be based on the team she is placed on. The $1,000 payment made at tryouts will be applied toward that fee, and families are responsible for the remaining balance associated with their athlete's final team placement.

Player Travel

Player travel expenses—including transportation, lodging, and meals—are not included in team fees.

Families are responsible for arranging and paying for their athlete's travel to out-of-town tournaments. This allows families greater flexibility in how they travel, where they stay, and how they manage travel costs, including the ability to use hotel rewards, airline miles, and other travel benefits.

Tournament Schedules

Freeze teams compete in a variety of high-quality local, regional, and national events throughout the season.

Tournament schedules vary based on age and team level. Some teams will compete primarily in the Twin Cities metro area, while others will have additional regional and national travel.

The schedules below represent our tentative plans for the 2026–2027 season and are provided to help families understand the expected competition and travel commitment for each team.

Tournament schedules are subject to change based on tournament acceptance, event scheduling, availability, and other circumstances outside of our control.

2027 TENTATIVE TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE

*3s teams will have a similar schedule to the 2s teams.

Team First

Club volleyball is a team commitment. Consistent attendance at practices and tournaments is important to individual development and the success of the entire team.

When accepting a position with Freeze, athletes are committing to their team and teammates for the season. We expect players to prioritize their club commitment, attend practices consistently, and be available for scheduled tournaments.

Families will review our complete attendance, commitment, player, and parent expectations as part of the tryout registration process.

Ready for Freeze?

We believe volleyball can be about so much more than what happens on the court. We want our athletes to become stronger players, better teammates, confident leaders, and great people.
