• Who are the coaches and what are their credentials?
• What is the club's philosophy? (To have fun? To improve? To win?)
• When, where and how often are practices? 
• How far will teams travel?
• Cost? Monthly dues? Due up front? Is there an itemized report of costs?
• What is expected of players in the club?

Selecting a club is a family decision and takes research.  Although clubs must abide by general CEVA and USA Volleyball rules, each club is different in the way they run their organization and train their athletes.  Do your club research well in advance to tryouts.  Check out club websites, talk to classmates and friends, call the club directors and coaches.  Club volleyball requires an investment of both time and money.  Find out about different options and talk to several different clubs.  Don’t assume a big club is better than a small club, a paid coach is better than a volunteer coach, or the right fit for your friend is the right fit for you. 

Remember that memberships are non-refundable.  We encourage athletes to purchase a Tryout Membership and then upgrade when they make a team.  The region doesn't guarantee athletes will be selected for participation on a club team.
