Club season usually begins in early October with team tryouts and typically
lasts until late April. If a team qualifies for a National Championship

will either qualify for Junior National Championships or attend another
end-of-season tournament such as Nationals or AAU Nationals and their
season will end in late June/early July. Volley Tots will not have a tournament
schedule. However, we may be arranging some local scrimmages with neighboring
clubs for our Tots.
