Travel Team Try-Out Dates and Times

Tryouts are here! 

- Aug 2nd, 3rd and 4th for High School.  
- Aug 9th, 10th and 11th for Middle and Elementary School. 

Please attend the tryout that is specific to your athlete's grade/peer group. Athletes are strongly encouraged to play with their peer group for recruiting purposes. Age group moves or changes will be handled on a case by case basis. Below is a listing of age groups with concurrent grades.  July 1, 2025 is the cutoff date for each age group. Please reference the USA Volleyball age chart linked below (Coming Soon) as necessary. 

5th Grade - 11U
6th Grade - 12U
7th Grade - 13U
8th Grade - 14U
9th Grade - 15U
10th Grade - 16U
11th Grade - 17U
12th Grade - 18U

We encourage you to tryout by grade for recruiting purposes.  Sometimes birth dates can put you in an age group up or down from your grade, and this is looked at on a case by case basis.  

All players must register online for tryouts.  Pre-registration is $50 before July 15th, registration starting July 16th $60, and payment on the day of the tryout is $70 at the door.  We gladly accept credit cards and cash payments in person at the gym.   

East Coast tryouts are not only evaluations for team placement, but learning opportunities for each athlete who attends. Our tryouts will be a fast-paced, fun environment where athletes are evaluated on skill level, effort, attitude, and coachability. We recognize that tryouts can be a stressful time for both athletes and parents and do our best to facilitate and environment of learning and fun! 

We encourage you to come to both days of tryouts.  The more chances the coaches have to see you play, the better overall evaluation they will be able to give. 

Once you have registered for tryouts we do not issue refunds.  Sessions are staffed based on numbers that are signed up so we can not give refunds for not attending.  Thank you for understanding!
