2007-2008  TRYOUT INFO, COSTS, & FORMS

All athletes that attend our tryout will be given a numbered NW Juniors VBC tee-shirt, which they will wear at tryouts (and keep)

2007-2008 Age Group Definitions: For your reference so that you know what age group your athlete can tryout for.  Athletes can play up in age group, but not down.

Tryout Registration Form: We highly encourage pre-registration for tryouts.  There will be three options for tryout registration.  Pre-registration greatly speeds up the check-in process at tryouts.  (WE DID NOT HAVE ONLINE REGISTRATION AVAILABLE IN TIME FOR TRYOUTS)

1. Mail-in Registration: Pre-registration by filling out a form and mailing in registration with a check for the $15 non-refundable try-out fee for all participants.  It is a one-time tryout fee and covers an athlete for any and all Northwest Juniors tryouts they attend.  If you are pre-registering, please include this with your registration form and SIGNED medical and liability release form.  Players will not be able to try-out without the signed release form.

2. Walk-up registration: Bring all registration materials with you to the tryouts.  Cost for walk-up registration is $20 (cash or check only).  PLEASE ARRIVE 45 MINUTES BEFORE TRYOUTS FOR WALK-UP REGISTRATION.  WE TYPICALLY GET A LOT OF WALK-UPS. 

Regardless of registration method, no athlete will be allowed to tryout without the signed Waiver and Release form. 

WHY NORTHWEST JUNIORS VOLLEYBALL CLUB?

(Our longevity speaks for itself)

Northwest JR's Volleyball Club is the oldest established Volleyball Club in the Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho) and one of the few with full-time club staff. Established in 1972, NW Juniors offers programs for ELITE and beginning players. Managed by Northwest Volleyball, Northwest Juniors is a leader in the Volleyball community -- featuring management by the Puget Sound Region Junior Program Director, Tony Miranda.  One of our missions is to create and provide volleyball playing opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels.  Additionally, we attempt to provide opportunities in geographic areas that are in need of those programs.  We have been an Eastside club for almost 10 years, in 2005 we added teams in Edmonds, and for the 2008 season we will add affiliate teams in Kent in association with one of our club coaches at Kent-Meridian High School.   2007 saw growth for our club as we provided playing opportunities for over 250 Jr. volleyball players ranging in age from 10 to 18 years old. Tryouts are typically in November: for Under 14's it is typically the first weekend in November and for U15 and older teams it is after the State High School Volleyball Tournament.  Training camps and club meetings usually begin in December.   Teams compete in tournaments from January through June.  Our teams are separated into two categories: National Teams & Regional Teams.  National Teams are our most talented teams at each age group and they travel extensively throughout the season -- ending their season with either the YJOV National Championship Tournament or similar championship level tournament.  The balance of our teams are Regional teams -- they range in skill level from beginner to advanced, compete primarily within the Puget Sound Region and are the largest part of our club. For the 2007-2008 season, our club will be composed of 8 National teams (5 on the Eastside and 3 in Edmonds), and 21 Regional Teams (11 on the Eastside, 6 in Edmonds, and 4 in Kent).

The combination of our programs, coaching staff, administration,  systems taught, and club affiliations/sponsorships make NORTHWEST JUNIORS the premier club in the Northwest for players of all ability levels.
