The USA Volleyball Board of Directors has voted to adjust the USAV junior age definitions, effective for the 2020-21 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).  See Age Definition Chart at - http://badgervolleyball.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2021-Age-Definition.pdf

NO WALK-INS AT TRYOUTS
You must have pre-registered and have all the appropriate paperwork.  Sorry, no exceptions.

We are moving ahead with planning for a 2020-21 JO season; however, during these uncertain times, things will look very different from prior years and plans are subject to change at any time.   Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled tryout.

This year HVA/Croix Attack has taken advantage of Retention Period Offers offered under Badger Region (see What is a Retention Offer? for more details on this program).   The remaining spots that we will have per team for the 2020-2021 Croix Attack JO Season are:

12's- 9 spots

13's- 5 spots

14's- 9-10 spots

15's- 4-5 spots

16's- 3-4 spots

17's- 5-6 spots

Due to the current Hudson School District (HSD) requirements, there will be a maximum of 10 players per team and masks will be required for tryouts and all practices.

There are 4 required forms to bring to tryouts along with a printed USAV ID card.  Unfortunately, if any forms/ID card are missing, you will not be allowed to tryout. 

- Concussion Form
- Conflict Resolution Policy
- COVID-waiver
- Medical Release

USAV ID Card - Players must purchase a $15 Fall membership from USAV volleyball prior to tryouts.  The link for memberships can be found here:  https://memberships.sportsengine.com/org/badger-region-volleyball-brva.  You will be asked a couple of questions and should answer "player" and "Fall" for length of participation and then you will be directed to the $15 Fall Junior membership, which is valid through 12/31/20 and can be upgraded later to a full membership.

In May 2019, the Badger Region Board of Directors approved several changes regarding tryouts and commitments designed for the purpose(s) of player retention, budgeting and other logistics, securing and training coaches, to ease the tension of the tryout process, etc.   Badger Region now allows an optional “Retention Period” in early August for clubs to be able to offer a spot in their club for the previous season’s players for the coming season. HVA/Croix Attack's Board voted last year to participate in this program.  Coaches evaluated their teams at the end of last season & submitted to the Board no more than 6 players that should receive Retention Period offers.  Offers are made for a spot, NOT a specific position, on their respective JO teams for the upcoming season.  Positions will be determined by the coaches once they have a full team.  All offers remain confidential until tryouts out of respect for all players.
