COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 14, 2013) – USA Volleyball Indoor High Performance has announced its tryout schedule for 2013 for junior, youth, select and future select age groups.

A total of 16 tryouts will be held for boys’ from the east coast to the west coast and Hawaii. The first two tryouts have been held the first two weekends of 2013, while the final tryout will take place March 9. On the girls’ side, 33 tryouts will be held across the country starting Feb. 15 and running through April 25.

Each tryout costs $65 per athlete prior to online registration closing three days prior to each tryout date at 6 a.m. MST. Athletes wishing to participate in the tryout after online registration closes must register as a ‘walk-up’ on site and pay a $100 registration fee. For the boys’ tryouts, athletes living in the Florida and Northern California Regions who wish to register as a ‘walk-up’ for those respective tryouts will have to pay a $120 walk-up registration fee for the regional and USAV HP tryouts.

Attending a National tryout is a prerequisite for entry into any USAV HP Program. Each year, athletes attend tryouts held across the country and are evaluated by USA Volleyball HP Coaches. HP coaches and staff then combine all tryout evaluations from each age group and rank players based on overall skill, positional skill, athleticism and potential. Based on this ranking system, athletes are then invited to attend one of our program levels. As athletes participate in our programs each year, USA Volleyball keeps track of their progression, working to help each athlete reach their potential and to help develop the next USA Volleyball Olympian.

The HP Program and athlete pipeline include players of each gender in five age groups that are based on the birth year of the athlete. Those age groups are referred to as senior (oldest), junior, youth, select, and future select (youngest). These age groups are determined by an athlete's year of birth using mandatory international criteria beginning approximately when they are 11 or 12 years old as future select athletes and continues for eight seasons through the Junior age group, often into their collegiate years.
