• Arrive to registration 45 min - 1hr prior to the tryout time
• Have your USAV membership card with you 
• At registration we will check you in, assign you a registration number that will be written on your leg, and we will take your pic holding a white board with your name, tryout age group, and tryout number. 
• Players will be evaluated by EVA Coaches in variety of skill drills and game situations (based on the age group).  We will have in each tryout 6-10 evaluators (depending on the number of players trying out).
• We will evaluate skill level of passing, setting, hitting, serving, serve receiving in several skill drills as well as in game situations.  Furthermore, through playing we will make notes and evaluate your overall game understanding/knowledge (age appropriate level), transition, court awareness, decision making, communication skills, interaction with players around you and the level of effort that you show. 

Everyone who wishes to be evaluated and considered for one of EVA teams for the upcoming season HAS to register for the tryouts.
Mistakes are part of the game so don't stress making mistakes - what we are interested in seeing is how you react to mistakes!  We understand that tryouts are stressful environment for players so just do your best and know that in addition to showing us your skills, we want to see your personality and work ethic!

Welcome to Elite Volleyball Academy. We are excited for the upcoming season and are working hard to prepare all the details for the tryout and the season itself. 

• USAV Membership Purchase - you have to purchase membership PRIOR to attending tryouts. 
• USA VB Age Definition Chart - check for correct playing age (you can play up,  but not down from your age group)
• Club Assignment Request - that binds you to the club for 2023/24 season (you can get multiple requests from clubs but can accept ONLY ONE). When you click ACCEPT your USAV membership gets assigned to the club who sent you that request.

1. Arrive to EVA tryouts prepared! Have the knowledge of each team's tournament schedule, requirements for each playing level (financial and time obligations)
2. Have an idea of what is your #1 choice for the team, #2...so that you can navigate timely the team offers with prior knowledge of what each playing level entails. 
3. During the tryouts coaches are working on evaluating and ranking players. In the tryouts coaches are already communicating about the evals and for the top team in the age group we might get the team offers out quickly from the tryouts already.
4. As we rank players during and after tryouts we will get the team offers sent out as quickly as possible (text, phone call). Please make sure you enter the correct cell phone number that will be contacted for team assignment (this person needs to be available for communication in the team selection process). 
5. We will make team selection based on skill level unless you specified level you want to be considered for only (ex/Regional Plus only).
6. On tryout day and following days during the team forming - please answer to unknown numbers and respond to messages (we at least need to know that you are receiving our team placement messages)
7. You will be notified via text or a call of your team offer. Once you give us the verbal/text reply commitment we will send you CLUB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST. Once this is accepted you are bound to EVA for the remainder of the season.
   You can get multiple Club Assignment Requests but can only accept ONE
   Once you accept EVA Club Assignment Request you are officially on EVA team 2023/24 season that you accepted an offer for. 
8. We are working as fast as we can to get the team offers out, but when you are making multiple teams in an age group that process sometimes gets dragged out. Be patient to receive your placement. This process sometimes takes some time and if you really want to be on EVA team don't rush into accepting other offers. Most of the time even the 2nd team making goes into the second day.  There is a chance for a team placement until it's announced on the EVA social media that  certain age group teams are formed "At this time all (age group) EVA teams have been formed..."

• Tryout day is too hectic so we will do uniform fitting for those who make the 2023/24 team in the days or the week following the tryouts. You will be notified of exact times. Following the fitting you will be provided the link to the EVA Team store where you will purchase the team gear (the store is opened for 1 week before all orders are placed)

No Age Waivered Players - we typically don't allow age waivers in in any age group due to these couple reasons:
1) holding player down didn't help them learn the speed of the game where they actually needed to play
2) In many tournaments outside of Delta Region did not allow age waivered player to compete. These players are also not allowed participate in bid awarding tournaments as well as in Junior National Championship so we feel that at younger ages players should compete within their age group based on the USA 2023/24 Age Definition chart. 

CLUB SELECTION & PLAYER CLUB AFFILIATION

At team selection you will receive "Club Assignment Request" that you could receive from multiple clubs, but you need to click "Accept" to invitation to a club you selected to play for in 2023/24 season. This acceptance will put your USAV membership in that club's database and you will be bind with that club for duration of the season (USAV season is Sept 1-Aug 31).  Club assignment must be accepted before a player or coach can be placed on a roster.  

A player may be asked to join several clubs, but you need to click "Accept" ONLY to a club you are accepting team placement for.
