2007 - 2008 Tryouts Girls U12 to U14 Tryouts for the 2007/2008 USA-Volleyball Junior Olympic season began with the U12-U14 girls teams on Nov. 4th, 2007 at Lindbergh High School. We anticipated forming one team in the U12 to U14 age range, depending upon turnout. However, we were not fixed on this idea. Since the U12 rules are a bit less demanding (lower net, lighter ball) than the U13 and above rules, we were very hopeful that we would get a good turnout of beginning-level U10-, U11- and U12 players that would allow us to form a dedicated U12 team. As it happened, turnout was light in the novice U12 category, and we weren't able to commit to a U12 team. However, we formed a U14 team, and it is now full. We are enrolling our nine thru twelve years old, novice youngsters in our Club-Lite program to allow them to keep practicing, and to give us some more time to fill the team. Boys U12 to U18 Tryouts for the 2007/2008 USA-Volleyball Junior Olympic season began with a no-charge open house for boys on Nov. 4th from 3 pm to 5 pm. This was followed a week later by the club tryouts. And on Dec. 2nd we had an outstanding clinic given by Dave Weitl and Sarah Chase of the Washington Volleyball Academy for all our boys and the boys of the Cascade Volleyball Club. We have been getting closer and closer to the point where we have enough players for both a U14- AND a U17 boys team. To keep the momentum up, we have enrolled the boys in our Club-Lite program and we are continuing to practice and develop our individual skills while we work on signing up a few more boys in each age group. We also have a good start (three good players) on forming a U12 boys team, and we are actively looking for three or four more boys in the age range of 9 to 12. Girls U15 to U17 Tryouts for the 2007/2008 USA-Volleyball season for our U15-, U16- and U17 teams were be held on Nov. 18th. We have formed a U17 team and a U16 team. Both teams are full.
Practice and Tryout Site All teams practice at Lindbergh High School on Sunday afternoons. Lindbergh High School is about 1.5 miles east of the Valley Medical Center off the Valley Freeway (Hwy 167.) The following is a link for a map to Lindbergh: Map Link for Lindbergh High School Beginning Dec. 6th, we will practice at Tyee High School on Thursday nights from 8 to 10 pm. During the month of December, all players (boys and girls, all ages) may attend these sessions. The focus will be conditioning and individual skills. Beginning in January, the U17s will practice at Tyee. Be sure and check the weekly schedule as we do not have the gym several times in the first couple of months. The following is a map link for Tyee: Beginning Jan. 2nd, 2008, we will practice at Renton High School on Wednesday nights between 5:30 and 9 pm. The teams practicing at Renton will be the U14s, the U16s, and the Boys (with U17s until enrollment warrants dedicated practice.) Access to the gym is easiest from Tobin street on the north side of the Renton campus. The following is a map link for Renton: Map Link for Renton High School We would like all our athletes to complete the USA-Volleyball/Puget Sound Region membership registration prior to tryouts. The process is fairly straightforward, with the one clarification that you should not send the membership fee ($60 for Junior girls, and $15 for Boys and youngsters) to the Region. Our $10 tryout fee covers our athletes during the tryouts, and the club will pay the membership fees for all our players as part of the club fee. To register online, please go to the Region website www.PugetSoundVB.org and click on the "Registration" menu item in the dark blue band at the top of the page. That will take you to: http://www.pugetsoundvb.org/registration/registerIndividual.htm You will see a heading for New Members, with instructions for completing the online application. It will require an email address and a driver's license number. Parents may use their drivers license for their children. There is also a Junior medical information form that we will require. When you do the online registration, be sure to have a printer hooked up to the computer as you will want to print some forms at the end of the process. We will need to see the membership confirmation page at our tryouts unless you specify Dash Pt VBC as your club during the registration process. We also ask that you fill out and sign the following form and bring it with you to the tryouts. Download Tryout Registration and Waiver
