Should I register before tryouts?

What age group do I play in?
USA Volleyball age cutoff is June 30 . To determine what age division you are eligible to play in, determine the age you will be on June 30.
Example 1: If you turn 13 on July 2 and are still 13 on June 30 of the following year, you would play in the 13u level.
Example 2: If you turn 13 on June 29 and will turn 14 by June 30 of the following year, you would play in the 14u level.
How many teams are selected in each age group?
Our goal is always two teams, but will make as many teams as we can based on the number of players that show up for tryouts. We generally select 9-10 players per team but exceptions are made for certain circumstances.
Where are practices held?
All practices are held in Bellevue--either at Mission Middle School, Bellevue West or East HS or at the Lied Activity Center.
Will practices ever get cancelled?
YES. Since our club uses Bellevue Public Schools (BPS) facilities, we follow the rules and policies governing BPS activities and are at the mercy of other activities. If school is cancelled due to inclement weather, club practices along with all other activities are also cancelled. Also, if other school activities are rescheduled on our practice nights, we may get bumped again. Club directors will work with coaches and players for rescheduling make-up practices.
Where are tournaments held?
All local tournaments are held within the Omaha Metro/Council Bluffs/Lincoln areas. No overnight travel is required unless teams elect to attend a National Qualifier.
Teams have the option to attend the ASICS' Presidents Day Tourney (held in Omaha at the CHI Health Convention Center) for an additional fee.
Teams have the option to attend a National Qualifier for an additional fee. Most teams choose to attend the Show Me Qualifier in Kansas City, Missouri due to lower cost of travel.
What day are tournaments played?
Most tournaments are played on Sunday and will begin around 8am and continue until each team is eliminated from further play. Tournament lengths vary and are determined by number of teams and tournament format. Occasionally, teams will play on Saturday but that will be decided by the coaches, players and parents at the beginning of the season.
How long is the season?
Club season runs from December to approximately the beginning of April each year. Most teams will finish their season at the Great Plains Regional Tournament held sometime at the end of March or the beginning of April. Teams will have the option to continue playing after the regional tournament if they have not played in 6-8 tournaments. This will be decided by the Club Directors and the availability of coaches and players.
When do practices start?
Practices will start in December with some practices on Sunday and other practices during the week depending on court availability. All teams will take a 2-week break over Christmas and New Years and will start back up the first full week of January with 2 practices during the week. Sundays will be reserved for playing in tournaments January through the completion of the season.
