TRYOUT REGISTRATION IS A TWO-STEP REGISTRATION PROCESS. 

YOU WILL NEED TO COMPLETE BOTH THE NCR MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENT AND VOLT REGISTRATION FORM.  INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:

STEP 1:  NCR MEMBERSHIP

This must be purchased prior to completing the  VOLT Tryout Registration Form. Once completed, you will need to come back to this registration and finish the VOLT Registration.  You will have two options for membership:

JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP - FULL ($60)

• 23-24 NCR Junior Player
• This is non-refundable.  It is suggested that you purchase the full membership right away if your daughter will play club volleyball.

JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP - LIMITED 

• 23-24 NCR Tryout three month ($15)
• This is non-refundable.  If you purchase this now AND your daughter plays for a club, you will need to purchase the remaining $45 at that time to obtain a full membership.

STEP 2:  VOLT TRYOUT REGISTRATION FORM ($40)

You will need to return to the VOLT webpage and complete the VOLT Tryout registration form.

This will automate and expedite the placement process. A letter of commitment will need to be signed by the athlete (and parent, if the athlete is under 18) before leaving the gym in order for you to secure your placement and be placed on the VOLT roster.

Why are tryouts held in October & November?

VOLT Volleyball has selected to hold tryouts on the first available date permitted by the Region and the NDHSAA. This year that date is October 30th for age groups 10’s-14’s and November 20th for age groups 15’s-18’s. Our tryout dates were set and given to the Region for publication in August. We have no control over other clubs choosing to run their tryouts on the same day or time.

I am a 7th/8th grader who is currently playing high school volleyball during the tryout.  How do I tryout?

VOLT Volleyball is focused on creating teams to complete at the top of their age division regionally and nationally.  Because of this we encourage all players to stay in their respective age divisions. Generally, players who tryout in a higher age level must be “impact” players at that higher age level, or we will not select them.  Players who tryout for a higher age level run the risk of not being selected for the higher age level, and then by that time the lower age level is already selected and full.  (It is not possible for us to wait until a higher age level is completed before selecting a lower age level as this is unfair to the lower age players and we would be there all day & night.)

If you / your athlete wishes to tryout for a VOLT Volleyball 14s, 13s, or 12s team, and you / they are participating on a high school varsity, JV, or B Squad team this fall, please email us at voltvb@gmail.com. In your email, share the athlete's name, best phone number(s) to reach you, your current scholastic team, and your position(s).  We will ask for a 2-minute video OR VOLT Director is willing to commit to watching two matches from the current season (live or recording).

What is needed at the tryout?

We require online payment before the tryout, so it should be marked “PAID”.  Wear appropriate volleyball gear and bring a water bottle for the tryout itself.  Players will need to present the USAV membership card or QR code at check-in – please have your USAV membership in hand and ready prior to tryouts.  

• Have a positive attitude. A less skilled player who creates a positive atmosphere is more likely to make the team than a superior player who is always negative.
• Be respectful to your coaches and other players. Show that you are coachable by listening and being able to take feedback.
• Hustle, do your best, and most of all, have fun!
