2023-24 Tryout Information

Tryouts will focus on the individual skills and athleticism of each candidate. Drills will be run to give the coaches a picture of your serving skills, passing skills, setting skills, lateral quickness, jump reach, and ability and willingness to take instruction. We will focus on offensive and defensive knowledge and skills in game situations. Additionally, we focus on how each candidate handles the stress of game situations.

The final roster will be selected at the end of tryouts. A committee of our coaches will have input into each decision, with the final decision being the prerogative of the head coach.

AAU Registration

All teams will also register with AAU. AAU Memberships will provide us with more tournament options and many of these tournaments are closer to home. Please be sure to affiliate your child with the West Shore YMCA.

Current AAU memberships are acceptable; please bring proof of membership with you at tryouts.

AAU Registration:

  • Visit www.aausports.org.
  • Select “Join AAU” on the righthand side of the screen.
  • Select “Get A Membership,” followed by “Apply for Youth Athlete Membership.”
  • Go through the registration process. Opt for the Extended coverage option. 
  • The cost of an AAU membership is $22.
  •  Under the “Are they a member of a club”; those trying out for U12-U14, click “No” (you can update once you make a club team). For those who accepted a U15-U18 roster spot for the West Shore YMCA, click “Yes.” You can search by club (West Shore YMCA) or input our Club Code: RSFDT5Y4.
After Tryouts

Team Selections will be posted on our website with your child’s tryout number. Regular offers will go out for 15U–18U on July 26, 2023, between 3:00-3:30 PM. Players will have 48 hours from the time they are emailed an offer. Your child’s tryout number will be posted on the website. Once a player accepts a spot, their name will be placed on the website. If the 48-hour deadline passes and we haven’t heard from you, a spot will open to another player.

If your child accepts our offer, you will need to email Jason Snyder.

  • An example of acceptance: My daughter, ______________, would like to accept or decline the offer from the West Shore YMCA to play on the 14 ________ (add Blue or Black if necessary) Team during the 2023-2024 season.

If your child does not make the original roster, they will be automatically placed on our waitlist. If a player on the original roster declines our offer, a spot will then open. Waitlist spots will open based on the team’s position needs. Practices will begin the week of December 1, 2023.

Credit Card Draft Agreement forms and Player/Parent signed handbooks will be due by December 1st. These forms will be emailed to you after team selections.

Forms & Policies

Volleyball Club Forms
Playing Time Policy

Our Volleyball Club plays the same competition as the majority of local clubs. Volleyball is a position-specific sport; with this said, some players will play more or less based on their positions and court rotations.

WSYVC does NOT guarantee equal playing time on any team. Playing time is left to the discretion of the coach. If a player has an unexcused absence during the season, her playing time may be significantly impacted at upcoming tournaments.

  • U12 & U13: Even playing time is the goal at these levels, but it doesn’t always occur.
  • U14–U18: It is expected that all athletes will participate at each event; however, even playing time will most likely not occur and should not be expected. If a player or parent has an issue or question in regards to playing time, please address the issue with the coach 48 hours after your last tournament. If a team qualifies for a playoff, most coaches will play to win.
