DJVBC Tryout Registration
THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING DAYTON JUNIORS FOR THE 2025-26 CLUB SEASON
2025-26 Summer Tryouts (14s through 18s)
Registration for Summer Tryouts will open on June 1st @ 12:01am on our website.
NEW THIS YEAR
In order to minimize the number of athletes in the gym at any time AND to maximize the number of repetitions our coaches will be able to evaluate per athlete, we will be running tryouts in small groups of athletes.
- You will register to attend a single 1-hour session within your age group.
- Groups are limited to 10 athletes and are staggered to start every 15 minutes.
- You must arrive 10-15 minutes ahead of your scheduled time and stay for the entire duration.
- Athletes will rotate through sessions/courts covering all the major skills / gameplay in a practice-like environment.
- Athletes will receive skill/play scores from master coaches on each court.
- Team placement will follow the completion of ALL age level groups.
