VOLLEYBALL
CLUB TRYOUTS
Club Tryouts are HERE!
We're ready for the 2026/2027 Club Season!

Tryouts
Players will be evaluated on skill level, athleticism, attitude and effort. Basic skills include: passing, setting, hitting, blocking, digging, serving and communication.
Teams are formed based on player evaluation, player position, and team chemistry. Teamwork is highly encouraged and used as a rating element. Understanding these events can be very stressful on young athletes, we strive to make this time positive and fun for all participants. Coaches will evaluate each player and select final team rosters.
All players attending a tryout need to have USAV Membership. *Please use the below birthdates as a reference for which age/team your athlete should tryout for.
To obtain a USAV Membership, you'll need to head to the Iowa Region Volleyball page and register as a Tryout Membership or Season Membership: https://www.iowavbregion.org/player-membership
The tryout membership is only good for tryouts and is upgradable to a full membership.
Season memberships are good until August 31st.
