USAV AGE GROUPS
These age divisions are established by USA Volleyball.
**Athletes may tryout for an age group OLDER, but not younger. No exceptions.**
Age cutoff is July 1st, which means athletes in the same grade may fall in different age groups
Athletes should attend the tryout for their age group, based on date of birth.
If you wish to also tryout for an older age group, please let us know at tryout check-in. This is rare and typically only applies to athletes who are young for their grade, but wish to play with their graduating class.
No additional registration required.
