Viper Program

Competitive Club Volleyball. Local Schedule. Less Travel.

Not every family is looking for a full travel volleyball schedule, and that's okay.

The Flight Academy Viper Program was created for athletes who want outstanding coaching, competitive volleyball, and continued player development while enjoying a more balanced schedule with fewer travel commitments.

Whether your athlete is new to club volleyball, plays multiple sports, has a busy family schedule, or simply prefers to stay closer to home, the Viper Program provides an incredible opportunity to train, compete, and grow within the Flight Academy family.

Our goal is simple: provide the same positive culture, experienced coaching, and player development that Flight Academy is known for in a program designed specifically for local competition.
