Club Training Tryout Information
2020-2021 Season
As you may have heard the NJSIAA, the organization responsible for High School volleyball, has postponed the 2020 girls season until February 2021. This obviously impacts our club/travel team schedules, most particularly as we do not want to make players choose between club and high-school. We believe we have a workable high-level plan that would involve starting the season club earlier, with full practices, and taking a limited practice approach during school season. We are coordinating our plan with the high school coaches as well as other clubs in the area to have a unified approach. We shortly expect to post details, in the meantime we ask for your patience.
Note: We are still full-speed ahead with our tryouts and have added new dates and times - please see below.

New Age Divisions for the 2020-2021 Club/Travel Season
-
The junior age definition for each age group was adjusted to a start date of July 1 (the date had previously been September 1).
-
A national waiver was added allowing girls 18s in their junior year of high school to compete on girls 17s teams. This was previously communicated as a regional waiver, but further review of the motion and discussion by the RVAA and JA Chairs lead USA Volleyball to institute this waiver nationally (it will automatically be allowed on rosters in the member management system).
-
Regional grade waivers will again be allowed for 14s boys in the seventh grade to play at the BJNC on a 13s team and for 13s boys in the sixth grade to play at the BJNC on a 12s team. This is the second season of this experimental waiver. Documentation of these waivers must still be submitted to the national office by the region to be allowed onto rosters for nationally sanctioned events. This waiver will not be automatically applied in the member management system without region approval.
Simply put: Whatever age you will be as of 7/1/2021 is the age group you will register for and play in
(i.e. if you are 14 on 6/28/21 you will be a 14u player).
