We feel it is best for players to play within their grade when possible.  Some players are not able to do this because they are outside their grade age. This is determined by their birthdate. The cutoff date is July 1st.  If you desire to play on a Regional or American Team please use *Figure 1 to determine the age group you should tryout for.  If you wish to compete at the National level please use the "USA Volleyball Junior Player Age Definition" chart below.
