What age should my daughter tryout for?  Can I just use her age?

Top Gun VBC and the AAU organization follow the USA Volleyball guidelines for age eligibility. This is based on the age of the athlete on July 1, 2027 for the 2026-2027 season. Grade is a secondary determinant as we look to keep athletes within their “peer group” much of the time.  Please attend the tryout according to the following age definitions UNLESS they are in the higher grade for their age. For example, fall under the 14U category, but are in 9th grade.

There will be no tryout for 12U athletes. Registration forms will be available for the 12U program (athletes born between July 1, 2014 and June 13, 2015) starting in November. All other tryouts will occur in November 2026.
