Tryout Information
Tryout Location: Webster High School Gym
7564 Alder Street West Webster, WI 54893
Teams are set by AGE not by SCHOOL GRADE. The JVA follows the basic Age Definitions set by USA Volleyball for the 2026-27 season. The date cutoff is July 1, and age definitions can be viewed below. For instance, an athlete with a August 2012 birth date and is a freshman in high school qualifies to play on a 14s team. Likewise, as an example, an athlete with a May 2012 birthdate and in 8th grade cannot play on a 14s team. As a rule, an athlete can always “play up” in age level but not below.
18 and Under – Players who were born on or after July 1, 2008
17 and Under – Players who were born on or after July 1, 2009
16 and Under – Players who were born on or after July 1, 2010
15 and Under – Players who were born on or after July 1, 2011
14 and Under – Players who were born on or after July 1, 2012
13 and Under – Players who were born on or after July 1, 2013

Tryouts are closed to parents. Parents you will be asked to wait outside of the gym or school.
Post-Tryout Information:
Results will be emailed within 24-48 hours after the tryouts. You will then have 24 hours to accept or reject the offer to be on a team.
A deposit of $100 will be required with acceptance. Failure to do so may lead to forfeiture of your team spot.
Any additional instructions, including team placement and upcoming training schedules, costs, will be shared at the time of acceptance.
We want to emphasize that the tryout process is a chance for each player to showcase their abilities. All players will be evaluated based on several different factors and we appreciate your understanding and support throughout this process.
Tryouts are highly competitive because there are limited spots. There are many girls attending tryouts at each age level. Each team needs 8-10 players.
