We will be fielding three teams this season: U14, U16 and U17/18s.  We have been fortunate in getting many inquiries about this club season and realize we are not fielding some age groups.  However, we do invite younger players to tryout of for our teams.  The following the age guidelines and what we have been providing parents:

14 and Under Division: Players who were born on or after July 1, 2009
We invite any 7th and 8th grade players to try out for our U14s team.  We are gearing this team for 7th graders who might have one year of club volleyball as well as 8th graders who have spent this Fall in some type of organized volleyball.  The focus will be on fundamentals (passing, serving & hitting), being on a team/team work, being coached at a competitive level.  The team will play at all division levels depending on the tournament.

16 and Under Division: Players who were born on or after July 1, 2007
We invite 9th and 10th grade players to try out for U15s.  9th & 10th graders who played on their high school JV and Varsity teams are the target group for this team since the objective is to quickly play at mid to open levels at tournaments.  9th graders who play on their high school teams should consider coming to our clinics to obtain feedback.  Our thoughts for 9th graders playing U16s this season is to get the training, development and play at a higher age bracket to compete for high school varsity next year and repeat U16s season at a higher level (even if with another club).

18 and Under Division: Players who were born on or after July 1, 2005
We invite 11th and 12th grade players for the U17/18s team.  The expectation is players who played on their high school varsity teams.  The level of play for this team is to focus on success and build upon throughout the season.  The team will compete at open levels at smaller tournaments with a goal on winning a USAV bid at qualifiers.
