Open houses and tryouts: The Arizona Region has established an Open House Period for players and their parents to visit different clubs in an attempt to decide which club to tryout and join for the season. The Open House Period is for the player to find out the club they want to join PRIOR to tryouts. Be dressed to play with a water bottle and Mask. Remember that just because a club says they want you to join their club does not mean it is the right place for you. Ask questions, talk to potential coaches, watch how they interact with your player.
Attend tryouts of the club(s) you are interested in participating with for the season. Once you have made a team and committed to the club by signing a contract or paying any fees, you are considered committed to the club for the entire season. Once you have committed to a club you are no longer eligible to tryout at other clubs nor are other clubs allowed to recruit you to come to their club. You must contact Arizona USAV to get the release form and have both clubs sign and approve the release.
If you did not complete payment for last season, you can not participate in Open House or Tryouts until the fee is paid.
REQUIRED FORMS: In accordance with USA Volleyball requirements, please bring the 3 following documents with you to
Open House and Tryouts. These forms will NOT be available at registration. You MUST download them and have them complete before your athlete can enter the gym.
