2022-2023 SEASON DUES & INFO
Potomac Storm teams compete in tournaments that are typically within 1 to 1.5 hours of the Washington County, MD and/or Berkeley County, WV, with the exception of defending our undefeated championship, at the 2 day AAU BeachFest Super Regional Championships, in May, in Ocean City, MD. Teams competing in the National Championships will of course travel a greater distance to compete. *AAU Nationals are held in Orlando, FL, at the Orange County Convention Center and comprise the largest volleyball competition in the world.

Practices will be held at the facility selected by the team's coach. PSVBC has multi-court gyms available in both Maryland and West Virginia.
