High School athletes will pay a $50 tryout fee and will be emailed their team placement at the conclusion of the tryout process. We will be holding a call-back session for the top two teams in each high school age group to finalize placement. At that time, we will ask that each athlete signs a letter of intent to play with us along with your $200 deposit. Our official signing day will be on September 2nd.
14 & Under athletes will be required to pay the $200 deposit as well as the $50 tryout fee at the time of tryouts. We will email your team placement at the conclusion of the tryout process.
Earlier Tryouts Does Not Mean an Earlier Start to Club Season
Although we have moved up the date for tryouts this season, club season will officially kick off in January of 2027 and will take place until the first weekend of May at the SURVA Regional Bid Tournament. Any teams that qualify for the Girls Junior National Championship will then extend their season into the summer months.
If you have any questions regarding the tryout process, please contact us.

WHO WE ARE
Next Level Volleyball Club believes in the lessons in which sports teach each and every one of us. We believe the discipline, effort, structure and teamwork required to succeed in a team atmosphere teaches participants lifelong lessons – lessons that help define and shape the personalities of adolescent athletes for the better. It is the belief and philosophy of the Club that our primary responsibilities to our athletes are to:
- Provide safe, disciplined and structured environments in both training and competition for all participants.
- Establish positive relationships and respect between the club, athletes and their families, coaches, administration and the community as a whole.
- Train our athletes at the highest level possible with the primary performance objective of high-level team and personal success.
The Next Level Volleyball program is dedicated to the growth, development and education of its players and their families with regard to the sport of volleyball. Our vision of “whole player” development charges us with the task of preparing our players for the physical, emotional and psychological demands that high-level competition places upon athletes.
We believe that if you apply the principles of God first, others second, self-third – these principles will equal success in whatever arena in which you are participating. The path to personal and team achievement is difficult and full of surprises. The Next Level Volleyball staff and administration recognize this and pledges to proactively assist the players and their families with struggles they will encounter along the way. The goals and objectives of the player must be synthesized with that of the team and the program as a whole. This requires compromise and understanding on behalf of all personal parties involved: an understanding that the Next Level Volleyball family will work to create on a consistent basis.
Next Level Volleyball believes the success an athlete enjoys is related directly to the belief exhibited in the athlete, by teammates, coaches and parents alike. We believe that knowledge, guidance, professionalism and sacrifice are the cornerstones of the coach-player relationship, and we commit ourselves to those beliefs in our daily actions. Next Level Volleyball staff and administration strive to lead by example on a daily basis.
