AVJO will be looking to field a combination of 17U, 16U, 15U, 14U, 13U, and 12U teams for the upcoming season.  The total number of players in each age group and team dynamics will determine the final division played in.

Age definition is set by USA Volleyball and are the following:

17U ~ Players who were born on or after July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2007

16U ~ Players who were born on or after July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008

15U ~ Players who were born on or after July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009

14U ~ Players who were born on or after July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010

13U ~ Players who were born on or after July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011

12U ~ Players who were born on or after July 1, 2011 

 

NCR (our region under USA Volleyball) does allow for players to play on a team of their peers (grade) verses by age.  In most cases, AVJO will keep players that would be in a upper division by age to play with their grade.  Some players may be asked to play up in an older division, but players may not play down per USAV rules (excludes grade waiver).  Any movement is at the discretion of the Volleyball Commissioner.
