MVC Boys 2022-2023 Fall Club Tryout Information
Updated: Aug 14, 2022
Congratulations to all the players who made one of our 9 Teams today! We are excited to get the season started!
Please make sure that if you are planning on coming to tryouts, that your player has an active USAV membership and then complete the official tryout registration. Link provided below. Club Tryouts are USAV Sanctioned events and memberships are required to participate at any club tryout in AZ. You will not have time to do this the morning of the tryout. We will not be available to walk you through getting your memberships if you wait until the last minute as we will be very busy preparing and checking in players. We have provided all of the instructions below, and on our website. We have also provided printed packets and handed out during open gyms and evaluation nights.
Important Reminders. SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.
Ensure your player has a USAV membership before tryouts!
If you played last season, your membership is good until September 1. You will need this membership number to register for tryouts. Log into your parental sportsengine account from last season to obtain your players membership ID number.
If you did not play club, or are new to club, you will need to follow the instructions to purchase a summer/temporary membership for your son to participate in tryouts and practices. This temporary summer membership is only valid until 9/1/22. If your player makes a club team, you will need to purchase the full year membership again. We will provide instructions if your player makes a club roster.
For questions regarding your membership please visit: Join the Region (azregionvolleyball.org)

Upcoming Open Gyms and (Open House) Evaluation Nights:
Evaluation nights are opportunities for players to be evaluated by our coaching staff prior to club tryouts. These are very important to attend if you plan on coming to tryouts. Players should come to both nights if possible. We only have about 1-2 hours on the morning of tryouts. Evaluation nights allow us to have conversations with your players about what positions they play, experience, attitude, leadership skills, etc. This helps ensure they are placed on the most appropriate team if they come to tryouts. NO contracts or season commitments are allowed to be made during evaluation nights. Coaches will be running drills similar to a tryout and taking notes. Players should come focused and prepared as this is treated more like a formal tryout. This event is CLOSED to parents.
We really need players to come to the appropriate age groups for evaluation nights. For example: Incoming freshman should come to the 15U eval session. This is not an indication of what team they will be on. This is only for our coaches to be able to have adequate time to identify their individual skillsets. Teams will be formed at tryouts based on several factors (Age, Skillset, Positional team needs, etc.). Our club prefers to keep players in their USAV assigned age groups. However, there are circumstances in which MVC reserves the right to roster players where we feel is the best fit based on the above determining factors and team needs. See PDF below for new 2022-2023 age definitions.

Getting to and from the tournament is each families responsibility. Parents can elect to carpool players together at your own discretion. Multiple Player are allowed to share hotel rooms as long as there is at least one parent or guardian of one of the players in the room with them for the entirety of the tournament. You will need to let MVC Club officials know who is staying together so we can notify the tournament and ensure we are in compliance with the stay and play policy.

Financial Obligations:
All players will need to agree to a financial contract at tryouts. Once you sign your contract, you are committing to the team and to the club for the season. Our dues are divided by player. The deposit amount is your commitment to the team. This saves your roster spot and allows us to order the full custom uniform packages for your player. You are required to pay your season dues in-full regardless of if your player is unable to participate due to injury, personal decision, or is released due to code of conduct violations. Club volleyball is not a month by month program. MVC provides a payment plan option as a courtesy to our families. Again, this is not a month-to-month program. We pay in full for uniform packages, for our facilities to secure contracts, tournament and region entry fees, insurance expenses, equipment, uniform packages, salaries, extreme speed and other vendors etc. in order to provide this opportunity for our players. These expenses are divided amongst each player on the roster and are expected to be paid. Our club will pay all of the expenses up front for the season and “float” the overhead to allow payment plans for families. Please read your financial contract in full before signing. (Example: The last season tournament is in December. As a courtesy, we extend our payment plans into December so that your payments are spread over an extra month which creates a lower monthly payment for you. If you player does not participate in the December tournament for any reason, that does not mean get to skip the December payment. You are still required to pay the season total in full.) Additional details and payment contract will be provided at tryouts.
Also included in your dues is access to our partners:
