HIGH SCHOOL VIPERS
Competitive Club Volleyball. Local Schedule. Less Travel.
The Flight Academy High School Viper Program gives athletes the opportunity to receive experienced coaching, develop their skills, compete as part of a team and experience club volleyball with significantly less travel and a more balanced family schedule.
Not every athlete or family is looking for a full travel volleyball schedule. That is exactly why we created Flight Academy Vipers.
For the 2026–2027 season, Flight Academy is offering Viper opportunities for 15U and 16U girls.
Whether your athlete is new to club volleyball, plays multiple sports, wants additional development or simply prefers to stay closer to home, Vipers provides another pathway to train, compete and be part of the Flight Academy family.
