Region and club rules make participation in tryouts for any club a multi-step process. Please follow each of the steps below to make sure you are ready.

1. Determine your age group - See the tryouts age groups page for all the details on age groups.
2. Determine when tryouts are - Use your age group and the tryouts schedule to determine where and when you need to show up.
3. Register with USAV/CHRVA - Follow the directions in the next section to register with USAV/CHRVA.
4. Register with MVSA - Use the registration link/button just below this checklist (closed) to register with MVSA. Registration costs $60. Our refund policy is further down this page.
5. Take a deep breath and do your best - We understand that tryouts can be a stressful time for athletes AND parents. Take a deep breath and enjoy the experience. We hope things work out for you.

Per region rules, all athletes must have a current USAV/CHRVA membership in order to participate in the tryouts of any member club. If your athlete does not yet have a membership (one membership is good for all tryouts within the region), please visit the registration page on the CHRVA website. If you have any questions on the process or the various membership options, please see the CHRVA membership registration explanation page.

A USAV/CHRVA "Junior Tryout - 10 days" membership is available and recommended for tryouts (look in the "Limited Memberships" section). Athletes selected for a team will then be required to upgrade their membership to a full USAV/CHRVA membership. If you buy the "tryout" membership, be sure to select a membership start date that causes your 10-day window to include all of the tryouts you plan to attend.

Please remember to bring a copy of your membership card with you to tryouts! It can be digital or printed.

Payment will be made via SportsEngine at registration time. You should receive an email confirmation following successful payment.

A full refund of the registration cost (minus fees) may be requested up until a week prior to your tryout. This is October 19, 2024 for age groups 10U to 14U, and October 26, 2024 for age groups 15U to 18U. After that, refund requests will not be granted.
