AGE DIVISIONS FOR THE 2019-2020 SEASON
Within the Ohio Valley Region, teams are classified as National (11s-18s), American (12s-17s), and Regional. National teams consist of highly-skilled athletes that compete at the highest levels of competition within and outside of the OVR.
Regional teams consist of athletes from the beginner to the highly skilled and compete at various levels of competition based on their teams’ composition. Regional teams do not participate in the OVR National Power Challenge, Power League, or Bid Tournament. Teams in the American division do not desire the travel associated with the National division but want a stronger level of competition than the Regional division.
Players need not be currently enrolled in high school except as noted below. Once a player participates in a club or varsity program for any university, college, community college, or junior college, he/she is ineligible to play in any regional or national JNC qualifying and championship events.
Age Divisions
Please attend a tryout based on the age divisions listed below. Teams may be based on an individual age group or by combining multiple age groups, based on the number of girls who attend a tryout and choose to play with the Vipers Volleyball Club.
For instance, we may combine the 18 & 17-and-under age groups to form one team if necessary.
