​
Q: I am young/old for my grade. What’s my age group for club volleyball?
A: Please refer to the above age chart to determine which age group to try out for. We will occasionally recommend that an athlete move up an age group to keep players in the same grade together or if the directors believe it will benefit the athlete and the team. We will try to keep athletes in the same grade together as much as possible.

June Tryouts will be managed as a sort of College Early Admission and around 50%-80% of the available spots will be filled during the June Session. If you're coming to the July Tryouts, we will continue to offer spots in our teams starting on the day after tryouts. on the first day of tryouts for the age groups and will continue to form the teams through the makeup tryouts.
