Tryouts will focus on the individual skills and athleticism of each candidate. Drills will be run to give the coaches a picture of your serving skills, passing skills, setting skills, lateral quickness, jump reach, and ability and willingness to take instruction. We will focus on offensive and defensive knowledge and skills in game situations. Additionally, we focus on how each candidate handles the stress of game situations.

The final roster will be selected at the end of tryouts. A committee of our coaches will have input into each decision, with the final decision being the prerogative of the head coach.

(1) Players who were born on or after July 1, 2007 and a high school student in the twelth (12th) grade or below during some part of the current academic year are eligible to compete in 18 & under.


(2) Female only – players who were born on or after July 1, 2008 (who are defined as 18 & under by the USAV Age Definition) and are in the 11th grade for the current academic year are waivered to compete in 17 & under. This age waiver is based on recruiting concerns for 11th grade girls previously required to participate in girls 18s qualifiers and the 18s GJNC.

All participants wishing to try out for the West Shore YMCA Junior Volleyball Club must have an active AAU membership. For those with a current AAU membership (expires 8/31/26), please bring proof of your active membership. For those who do not yet have an AAU membership, please visit www.aausports.org to register and bring proof of your membership to tryouts.

Once teams are established and your athlete accepts an offer to play for the West Shore Y, an updated membership will be required (effective September 1st) and you will be directed to affiliate with the West Shore YMCA.

Team Selections will be posted on our website with your child’s tryout number. An email offer will be sent to each athlete. Players then have 48 hours to accept an offer. If accepted, their name will replace their tryout number on the website. If declined or the 48 hour deadline expires, that spot will open to another player.  

If your child does not make the original roster, they will be automatically placed on our waitlist. If a player on the original roster declines our offer, a spot will then open. Waitlist spots will open based on the team’s positional needs.

Our Volleyball Club plays the same competition as the majority of local clubs. Volleyball is a position-specific sport; with this said, some players will play more or less based on their positions and court rotations.

WSYVC does NOT guarantee equal playing time on any team. Playing time is left to the discretion of the coach. If a player has an unexcused absence during the season, her playing time may be significantly impacted at upcoming tournaments.

  • U13: Even playing time is the goal at these levels, but it doesn’t always occur.
  • U14–U18: It is expected that all athletes will participate at each event; however, even playing time will most likely not occur and should not be expected. If a player or parent has an issue or question in regards to playing time, please address the issue with the coach 48 hours after your last tournament. If a team qualifies for a playoff, most coaches will play to win.
