Notice: Players/Parents should keep in mind that this is not recreational volleyball. Equal playing time is NOT guaranteed and interference with coaches, or other club staff, is not tolerated. Final team assignment will depend on team spots available, talent level, and number of players attending the tryout. The club expects to field teams in the following age groups:
*** 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17/18 ***
** Per KSHSAA rules, only 4 players per school squad are allowed per club team. (A, B, C, Freshman, JV, and Varsity are each separate squads, even from the same school.) For example, if a player normally plays B squad, but played even 1 play on the court in an A game, that player is counted on both B & A squads.
