FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why should we choose club volleyball?
Girls playing club volleyball have an advantage over those who do not. The club provides the player with qualified coaching, practicing, and playing games over a 5-month stretch, which provides the player with a lot of repetition throughout the year. This is beneficial to players when they enter high school. Club also offers a great social atmosphere in which players will play teams from all over the state, region, and even nation.
How do I figure out what age group to try out/play for?
USA Volleyball sets the age eligibility based on the player's age until July 1st. So players must be the age or younger until July 1st. For example, if you are 13 years old or younger and will remain 13 or younger until July 1st. then you would try out/qualify to play for the 13u team. A 12-year-old that would be turning 13 prior to September 1st would also try out/qualify for the 13u team.
