A $10 USAV tryout membership must also be purchased prior to tryouts (and membership needs to be shown at tryouts).  The link for memberships can be found at https://memberships.sportsengine.com/org/badger-region-volleyball-brva. 

You will be asked a number of questions.  It is important that you answer "player", and then "tryout" for length of participation so you will be directed to the $10 tryout membership, which can be upgraded later to a full membership (for an additional $40).  Be certain you are purchasing the $10 Tryout Membership as there are no refunds.  You should save the USAV ID card to your phone, but we will be confirming the player's membership status online as well.

The junior age definition for each age group was adjusted to a start date of July 1 in 2020 (the date had previously been September 1).  See Age Definition Chart for specific information.

Registrations must be completed prior to tryouts (deadlines below).  There will be no walk-in registrations – No Exceptions.  Players that did not receive a retention offer are required to attend tryouts. 

Registration Fee = $35 plus sportsengine processing fee.  In addition, a $10 USAV tryout membership must also be purchased prior to tryouts (and membership needs to be shown at tryouts).  The link for memberships can be found  here:  https://memberships.sportsengine.com/org/badger-region-volleyball-brva.   You should save the USAV ID card to your phone, but we will be confirming the player's membership status online as well.

IMPORTANT - THERE WILL BE NO BLANK FORMS AVAILABLE AT TRYOUTS.  You MUST download, print, fill out and bring the Medical Form and pages 5 & 6 of the Concussion Form with you to tryouts.   

Forms required to be signed and brought to tryouts include Medical Release and page 5&6 of the Concussion Form attached above.   Also, bring a copy/saved photo image of your USAV tryout membership for verification.  We do not need copies of the Covid Waiver and Conflict Resolution forms as they were already completed during registration.

For families that have a confirmed spot on a 2021-22 Croix Attack JO team, we are opening our online fanwear store.  This year we are working with River City Stitch in River Falls.  The link, https://rivercitystitch.com/product-category/croixattackvolleyball/,
is open now, and will close October 22.   There will be another store (same selection) open for a week following the November tryouts.

HVA/Croix Attack has participated in the Badger Region "Retention Period" program similar to last year.  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.

12's- up to 10 spots

13's- up to 8 spots

14's- up to 4 spots

15's- up to 10 spots
