Junior Volleyball Club at West Shore

2026-27 Volleyball Club

The West Shore YMCA Girls’ Volleyball Club is a competitive travel program at the Y that consists of tryouts, two weekly practices, weekend tournaments, position-focused practices, and speed/jump/agility training. Our dedicated, knowledgeable coaching staff helps develop fundamentally sound players. This program is available at the West Shore YMCA! The season runs from December to April. Our club volleyball program is geared toward girls ages 10-18.

The West Shore YMCA is a member of the Middle Atlantic AAU Region. This competitive program allows players to practice up to 4 hours per week and participate in various tournaments held on Saturdays and/or Sundays. Junior Volleyball Club offers young athletes the opportunity to develop skills, play, and compete in volleyball. Explore below to access forms, dates, and additional information about the programs.

NEW! Strength & Conditioning

New to current players, this program will work with our girls volleyball athletes this season to build a safe, effective strength foundation that supports their volleyball performance and reduces injury risk. The focus is on proper movement, confidence, and age-appropriate strength development.

Max 20 participants per hour. Must register no later than the 3 days prior to the 1st program day of each month.

2026-27 Tryout Information

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.

Tryout Checklist
  1. Register for tryouts (you may register in person, online, or over the phone).
  2. Register with AAU (see instructions and information below). Proof of AAU registration must be provided at tryouts.
  3. Complete all necessary forms (must be turned in at or before tryouts).

Items needed to be turned in at tryouts:

  1. 2026-27 Tryout Registration Form
  2. Medical Release Form
  3. 2026-27 Player Profile
  4. Proof of AAU registration

Items needed with you at tryouts:

  1. 2026-27 Tryout Registration Form
  2. AAU Membership card and proof of payment – you can print this immediately after registering. If you did not do this upon registration, log into your AAU account and print membership.
  3. Medical Release Form
  4. 2026-27 Player Profile

AAU Registration

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.

After Tryouts

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.

Playing Time Policy

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.
