How do I become one of the players on the USA junior volleyball team?

Question

Please tell me where to go on the internet or where to call or who to get in contact with to get on the team or at least try-out...!

Answer 1

You can play club volleyball anywhere in the US. Go here and find your region if you've never played: http://www.usavolleyball.org/WannaPlay/n...

Once you play club, you can try out for the high performance team in your region. These teams tryouts are around the end of May. These teams then travel to other regions and play each other. Look for information on High Performance at your region's website.

Out of these teams, an all-star team is chosen and these players play on the junior national teams. There are other ways to get there, like having an international level coach watch your matches in high school. But if you don't live in California good luck with that. :)

It's not easy, the players at the Olympic level make it look very easy but it takes years to compete at a high level, even at the JO level.
