Who can play at Cove?

Girls and boys in the 11U through 18U age groups. Whether your athlete is brand new to volleyball or already chasing big goals, there’s a place to start here.

How do age groups work?

18U is born 7/1/2008–6/30/2009

17U is 7/1/2009–6/30/2010

16U is 7/1/2010–6/30/2011

When are tryouts?

12U–14U tryouts are Saturday, October 10, 3:00–5:00 PM at the Otter Sports Center, 2050 Inter-Garrison Rd, Marina. The fee is $25 per player. Register here.

What if my athlete has never played club volleyball?

That’s okay. Our youth clinics are a great first step, and tryouts are a chance for our coaches to get to know your athlete, not just a test.

Where and how often do teams practice?

Practice days and times will be set based on player and coach availability once the teams are formed.

Practice location:

Otter Sports Center, 2050 Inter-Garrison Rd, Marina

What does a season cost?

The indoor club season fee can range anywhere from $1,600 for a local program to $5,800 for a team that travels and competes extensively throughout the US.

Cove is operated by BlueZone Volley, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We never want cost to be the reason a family says no.
