Offers made by MOCO guarantee you a spot on one of our teams until 10 PM on the Tuesday after your tryouts. For all age groups, the deadline to accept an offer is Tuesday, November 10, 2023, at 10 PM. After the deadline, we will offer your spot to another player.
Players may receive an offer at any time during the tryout process.
For more information, please refer to the Tryout Process information in CHRVA Junior Recruiting Policy.
MOCO will offer multiple teams in each of the U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, U17 and U18 divisions. To determine your age group, please consult the USAV 2023-2024 Age Definitions.
We may add additional teams if circumstances allow, including younger teams in the U10 or U11 divisions.
"Playing Up" policy: Players who want to try out for an age group above their designated group may only do so with the approval of the club. This is not common, and when considering the request we consider player skill level, grade in school, and relative age to the rest of the team. Please register for the appropriate age group, and provide a complete history of their volleyball experience. On the registration form, you may select an additional age group to request a tryout for. We will review your request and let you know if you can attend the older tryout in addition to your age group tryout.
Important information about our tryout sessions:
Tryout fees: $68.50 (plus SE processing fee)
The fee covers all tryout sessions, including any callback tryouts.
Refunds & Change Fees
Tryout registration fees are non-refundable. No refunds will be given if you are unable to attend at the assigned time. MOCO reserves the right to charge a $20 fee (plus SE processing fees) for changes to paid registrations.
A reminder on COVID protocols. MOCO takes COVID very seriously, and we need you to as well. The policy is:
DO NOT ATTEND if you have any of the symptoms of COVID or have received a positive test result in the five days prior to a scheduled tryout. If you are required to quarantine due to exposure, you may not attend our tryout.
1. Consult the 2023-2024 AGE CLASSIFICATION chart or use our Age Calculator above to determine the appropriate age group.
2. Register the athlete for a CHRVA Junior Tryout-10 Days Membership (for all age groups select start date of November 3, 2023). Make a note of your 7-digit CHRVA membership number. If you do not have a SportsEngine account, enter an email address and you will start the account creation process. If you make a team, you can upgrade your membership to a full-season membership. If you need help, refer to CHRVA Membership Help for detailed instructions. If you already purchased a 23-24 Annual Junior Membership for Clinics or our Fall Training Program, your athlete does not need a tryout membership. The annual membership covers tryouts.
3. Review the Tryout Session information below and make a note of the sessions you can attend.
4. Complete the MOCO Tryout Registration (link above and below). Make sure you have an electronic image of your insurance card and a picture of the athlete.
5. Fill out the USAV Medical Release Form and bring a copy with you to tryouts.
Important: Make sure you receive confirmation emails from MOCO with your tryout time and payment details, and from CHRVA with your USAV member number. If you only receive a CHRVA/USAV confirmation, you are not registered for MOCO tryouts!
