The Palmetto Region sanctions boys competition during the season and has scheduled tournaments specifically for boys. Many clubs offer teams for boys ages 12-18 (see the tryout schedule for boys for 2023/2024 season below). The Palmetto Region is actively promoting the growth of boys volleyball, and our goal is to continue to grow the opportunities for boys to play in South Carolina. 

While the region’s goal is to hold tournaments for boys teams throughout the club season, boys are allowed to play on girls teams in the 14U and younger age groups if a club does not offer a boys team. Boys must play 2 age groups up in girls competition if they fall in 13u and 14u age group. For example, if the boy falls in the 13U age category, he must play on a 15U or higher girls team. Boys 15u and above may only play against boys teams. 

Tournaments:  Boys teams 14U and below may play in girls divisions (if no Boys division is offered).  If we have sufficient boys teams, we will create divisions. 

See the tournament list for boys divisions offered in the Palmetto Region.  Additionally in 2024, the region will offer a boys high performance tryout and training, as listed on the tournament calendar. Clubs can also receive grants for growing their boys program.

The Palmetto Region encompasses over 60 clubs that specialize in volleyball training of both boys and girls. Clubs vary in size, scope, and program offerings, so be sure to visit a club’s website, ask questions, and get recommendations before deciding which club is right for your son or daughter. Below are some resources to help you find the right fit.

Club, or Junior Olympic (JO), Volleyball offers the opportunity for athletes to participate within various volleyball clubs after their school season. Club volleyball is an avenue for players ages 10 (or even younger) to 18 to play in competitive tournaments and receive advanced training.
