Region Tryout Rule Change: Updated 08/15/2023
Since its inception in 1983, the Palmetto Region has emphasized the importance of middle and high school volleyball programs to developing players and creating opportunities for participation in the sport. To that end, Palmetto Volleyball Association (PVA) has recommended a club tryout time frame should avoid the South Carolina high school season, normally August- early Nov.
Due in part to tryout time frames changing in neighboring regions, clubs may choose when they desire to hold tryouts.
We strongly request clubs communicate and work with their neighbor clubs to avoid conflicts. Please avoid pressuring families by demanding commitments by specific dates or short time frames to commit.
Palmetto Region will no longer police tryouts or commitments. The majority of regions in the US have followed by doing the same.
PARENTS: We highly recommend you do your homework before signing a contract. Most clubs, once you sign and begin making payments will not have a refund policy.
NEW for 2024-25: The majority of clubs refusing to accept players who owe fees to another club from last season.
