Tryouts for the 2017 Vernal Velocity Youth Volleyball Club will be held during the second week of November. The 12U-14U age divisions (born between September 1, 2002 and August 31, 2006; typically 5th-8th graders) will have tryouts on Tuesday, November 8th from 6:00 to 8:30. Registration will begin at 5:30. Selections for those teams may be completed in one night. However, if coaches need more time to observe players and make final team selections, they may invite some players back on Wednesday, November 9th for further evaluation. The 15U-17U age divisions (born between September 1, 1999 and August 31, 2002; typically 9th-11th graders) will be held on Wednesday, November 9th from 6:30-8:30. Registration will begin at 6:00 on Wednesday.
Tryouts both nights will be held at the Uintah Training Center (the large building behind Uintah High School). PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY enough to get checked in and be ready to begin at the designated start time. You can expedite the check-in process by sending the following information ahead of time: Athlete’s name, date of birth, grade level and school attended, primary phone number, primary email address, parents’ names, and emergency contact information. You can send that info by Facebook message or by emailing vernalvelocity@yahoo.com. You will still need to sign a waiver form the night of tryouts.
Please note, younger girls can “play up” on older teams, but older girls can only “play down” on younger teams if they are granted an age waiver by the governing body, which may limit the tournaments they can play in. If you fall slightly outside of the above age brackets but still want to play, please contact us and we’ll see what we can do. If you have any questions, please feel free to send a message through our Facebook page, email vernalvelocity@yahoo.com, or call or text Megan at 435-220-1519.
We cannot finalize club fees until after teams are selected, but we anticipate that fees will be around $500-$600 per player for the season. This covers coaching, gym use, uniform, equipment, tournament fees, and other administrative costs. Parents will be responsible for any travel associated with playing. The season length of the different teams may vary, but the season will roughly run from December into March. If you play middle school basketball or high school softball, our club will work to accommodate you so that you can play club volleyball as well. If you want to play both high school basketball and club volleyball, please let us know and we'll see if we can make that work.
Thanks for your interest. We hope to see you at tryouts!
