1. Age Definition
Our Age philosophy
Age definitions are set the the OVR and USAV, which are the governing bodies of club volleyball.
At Rogue, we feel it is best for players to compete within their grade when possible. Some players are not able to do this because they are considered too old. This is determined by their birthdate. The cutoff date is July 1st.
​
If you want to compete at the Regional or American level, please refer to Figure 1 to determine the age group you should be trying out for. If you want to compete at the National level please use the USA Volleyball Junior Player Age Definition chart.

3. Levels of Competition
NATIONAL
Our National level teams are the highest level of competition and commitment at Rogue. These teams will play in tournaments that require travel out of state to high level tournaments that will challenge our athletes. Travel can be up to 8-10 hours away and include places like Orlando, FL for AAU Nationals in June and possibly USAV Nationals, which the location changes yearly. Our 15U and older teams can expect 22-28 play dates (individual volleyball playing days, not whole tournaments).
elite
Our Elite level teams are the perfect combination of National and American level competition and are a lighter schedule than our National teams. These teams will play in tournaments that are mostly in Ohio but may require travel out of state up to 4 hours away. Our Elite teams will have 16 play dates (individual volleyball playing days, not whole tournaments) plus the option to add the OVR BID tournament in Columbus (at an additional cost to families).
American
Our American level teams are good for players looking to grow their skills and to prep for school ball and/or for athletes who play multiple sports or participate in other activities. While our American teams offer less of a commitment, they're just as competitive as our Elite teams. These teams will play in tournaments that are mostly in Ohio but may require travel out of state up to 4 hours away. Our American teams will have 16 play dates (individual volleyball playing days, not whole tournaments).
Regional
Our Regional level teams are a great introduction into the game of volleyball and require the lowest level of commitment at Rogue. Intended for those who are new to club volleyball or just want to play volleyball and stay close to home, our Regional teams will have 8 play dates (individual volleyball playing days, not whole tournaments) all in Ohio and the furthest being within 2-3 hours of Columbus.

how/When will i know if i made a
rogue volleyball club team?
Some players will receive an offer right after tryouts while still in our gym. We call that having an offer in hand!
If a player does not have an offer in hand, all other offers will be sent out via email by the end of the day, sometimes as late as midnight.
*If a player receives an offer from Rogue Volleyball to join one of our teams, there will be a specific timeframe within which to accept that offer and become a member of Rogue. Please be fully aware of the deadline for your player's offer acceptance! In some circumstances, families may only have 48 hours to accept an offer!
Anyone who does not have an offer in hand or doesn't receive an offer via email, will be notified they have been placed on our call-back list.
And sometimes, after tryouts and players have already accepted an offer for a team, we may determine that a player might be a better fit on a different team. In this case, we will offer the family an opportunity to move up to the next team or level. We will never move an athlete down.
