Age divisions are mandated by USA Volleyball (governing body) and are not negotiable. Players are allowed to play "up" in age but not "down". Look for month and year of birth in the list below to determine proper age division.
Players may tryout for more than one age division. If a player chooses to do this, they should attend both age division tryouts sessions so all coaches will see them. Player will use same tryout number (t-shirt) and registration (only pay one tryout fee).
Find the month and year of player birth to indicate age division:
