For this age group, CYA offers several different levels of play. Please read on for details on the different levels of play.

 

Middle School Girls TRAVEL team: 

This is for our most advanced players and LOCAL travel around Fairfax County will be necessary. Anyone wishing to be considered for our MS Girls Travel team must attend the tryout (day/time TBA). There will be one practice during the week (TBD prior to the tryout). We may schedule additional (optional) practices if space permits. Games are on WEDNESDAY evenings and Saturdays. Friend/carpool requests are not accepted at this level. Attendance at practice and games is MANDATORY! If you are unavailable for practices or games on the assigned day(s), you should not attend the tryout for this team. Not attending practice will result in reduced or no playing time in games. If practices/games are missed regularly, the player may be dropped from the team. After tryouts, refunds are not possible. If a player attends the tryout for this team and is not chosen, they can then attend the tryout for the select level teams. 

**NOTE: Since our travel team will be working on learning more advanced rotations, playing time will not be equal.

 

Middle School Girls SELECT teams:

This is for more experienced players who may not have as much time, who cannot play games on Wednesdays, or who do not wish to travel around the county. Anyone wishing to be considered for a select level team will have to attend the tryouts for their age group (day/time TBA). There will be one practice per week. Attendance at weekly practice and games is mandatory, so please let us know prior to assessments if there are any weekdays you are not available. This is very important because after a player is chosen for a select team, it is not possible to make changes. Friend/carpool requests are not taken into consideration at this level. Not showing for practice will result in decreased or no playing time in games. If a player continually misses practices/games, they may be dropped from the team. After tryouts, refunds are not possible. If you are not chosen for a select team, you will be automatically placed on a house team. 

**NOTE: Since our select teams will be working on learning more advanced rotations, playing time will not be equal.

 

Middle School Girls HOUSE teams:

There will be no assessments for house teams. Players will be assigned based on their availability, so please enter any days the player is unavailable during registration or let me know asap if there are any days your player is not available for practices. This is very important because after a player is placed, it is very difficult to make changes and refunds are not possible at this point. There will be one practice per week. Games will be held on Saturdays. Once the season begins, refunds are not possible.

 

Equipment:

Each player is REQUIRED to bring a ball to practice. For this age group, we would recommend a ball similar to this:

Official size volleyball

Knee pads are strongly recommended.

Games will be on Saturdays, and can be scheduled anytime between 8am and 5pm.
