2022-23 CLUB VOLLEYBALL TRYOUTS
TRYOUT SCHEDULE
TO BE CONSIDERED FOR TOP TEAMS, PLAYERS SHOULD TRYOUT AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
* Tryouts for both Waco and Belton Regions are held at LSC. Belton Region practices will be held locally in that area once practices begin.
As in conjunction with the USAV code of conduct, for national teams, we will require both athlete and parents to be emotionally mature. Being emotionally mature can be described as when someone can manage their emotions no matter their circumstances, holding themselves in a proper and responsible manner. We expect our athletes to be pushed mentally and physically in order to grow into the best versions of themselves. Furthermore, our national teams schedule is some of the most competitive in the Lone Star Region. We expect our athletes and parents to be able to commit and partake in the schedules they sign up for, including being mentally and physically prepared for a demanding schedule.

When will I know if I made a team and which one that is?
Soon after the conclusion of tryouts for your age group, you will receive an email from TLVC with team information and an invitation to accept your spot. You must accept your spot and pay the deposit before the time mentioned in the email or your spot may be given to the next athlete.
