Tryout Registration

Tryouts to become a member of the 2020-2021 Vipers Volleyball Club are now scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020 and Sunday, Nov. 22, 2020.

To join the club, you must register for one of the dates/times below:

Players need only to attend one tryout session.

Follow these instructions to register for tryouts:

STEP 1

Follow the link below to purchase your Ohio Valley Region tryout membership (this is required by the OVR, not Vipers Volleyball)

The OVR requires all players, new and returning, to purchase a tryout membership. This is a limited membership that is good for TRYOUTS ONLY. This is an ideal option for those who are unsure if they will be selected by a junior club. A Tryout Membership does not allow you to pick a club. That leaves you free to attend several different clubs’ tryouts. Players MUST Upgrade to the Full Junior Membership before they can choose a club and participate in practices and tournaments. Benefits for this membership option include USAV insurance coverage during the tryout time frame. A membership card can be printed on or after the date that the membership becomes active and current.

This $10 Tryout Membership covers the player with secondary medical insurance in case of an injury and helps to cover the facility/host club with liability insurance. This is in addition to any tryout fee the club themselves may charge. That fee goes towards their costs of running the tryout, like renting the facility, etc. Later when you sign a contract with a club, you will “upgrade” your Tryout Membership to a full membership and the $10 is applied towards that full membership.

Choose the appropriate link below and follow the instructions provided to purchase your membership. Write down your membership number as you will need it in Step 2.

STEP 2

Complete the Vipers Volleyball Tryout Registration form

Click HERE to register for Vipers Volleyball Tryouts. Be sure to enter your OVR membership number and pick the correct tryout date. Remember, each player needs only to attend one tryout.

STEP 3

Pay your $10 Tryout Fee

Because the Vipers Volleyball Club is new for the 2020-2021 season, we do not have a current budget. This one-time fee will offset the cost of facility rental and insurance for the tryout dates. We do not anticipate charging a tryout fee beyond this inaugural season.

Again, to reduce costs for players and parents, we will not provide a tryout t-shirt. This fee only covers the cost of facility rental. Players will be assigned a number for tryouts, which will allow the Vipers Volleyball coaching staff to properly track a player during tryouts. Players should wear standard practice gear for tryouts.

Your credit card statement will reflect a charge from Ohio Varsity.

STEP 5

Prepare! 

Run, jump, stretch and get your body ready. Also, hit the ball around and prepare for tryouts.

STEP 6

Tryout

Attend your scheduled tryout. Be confident. We’re here to help you become a better player. Our coaches will not necessarily provide instruction during tryouts as we are trying to establish a player’s current ability. Coaches may provide some tips during tryouts but do not expect coaching during this session.

STEP 7

Check your Email

Players and parents will be notified within five days of the tryout results. While we hope to include every player who tries out, we will make that determination based on the number of teams we can create based on the number of tryout participants. Emails will include an offer to join a particular team based on each player’s perceived skill level. Players and parents have the option to accept that offer or to try out with another club.

If you are offered a spot on an American or Regional team, you must respond via email within 10 days to accept or decline the offer. If you are offered a spot on a National team, you must respond via email within three days to accept or decline the offer. If you are put on a waiting list, you will be notified within 10 days if you have been offered a spot on a team. You will then have 10 days to accept or decline the offer.

STEP 8

Sign Your Contract

Should you choose to accept your team offer with the Vipers Volleyball Club, you will be required to sign the club contract (provided in the email) and provide your non-refundable deposit. You also will receive a payment plan schedule to sign and return. Once a player has accepted and signed a contract, they cannot play for any other USA/OVR JO volleyball program during the 2020-2021 season.

STEP 9

Gear up for Practice

Team practices will begin in December. Each player will receive a schedule with practice dates, times and locations.
