Full tryout details, age-group schedules, and registration information will be posted here on September 7.
How It Works
Determine your age group
Your age group is set by date of birth as of July 1, 2027. Confirm yours in the Tryout FAQ before registering.
Attend an open gym, camp, or clinic to be prepared!
Open gyms and camps will run before tryouts. These will give you an opportunity to see our facility and train with some of our coaches.
Register for tryouts
Register through LeagueApps. The $40 fee is collected at registration. A valid OVR tryout membership through USA Volleyball is also required.
Attend your tryout
Tryouts are private and players are evaluated through digital reports. Coaches evaluate skills, athleticism, coachability, and how athletes compete and communicate.
Receive your offer
Written offers go out within 48 hours of your session, whether your athlete receives an offer or not. No one is ever required to sign on the spot.
