​

I wanted to share with you some of the most frequently asked questions..... to help you and your parents make a decision about joining us this summer.

  • Can a junior age player attend unaccompanied by an adult?
    To ensure safety for all travelers it is required that all Jr. age players need to be accompanied by an adult (parent, or guardian)
  • Can I sign up as an individual, or do I need to have my whole team to join?
    We offer both options. Most players sign up as individuals (or with a friend), and we create teams based on age, skill level, and experience. Full teams are also welcome to join and will play as their own team.
  • Where do I have to go to start the tour if I live in the Midwest?
    Players from all over the USA and Canada join us each year. Our ticketing agent will make all of the flight arrangements for you, ensuring a smooth start to your tour. You will receive detailed instructions on where to meet and what to expect upon arrival.
  • How do I register / sign up?

  • Is there a tryout? How skilled do I need to be to make the team?
    We accept players from all over the USA and Canada. The first step is to fill out the application form and provide a volleyball coach reference (e.g., HS Volleyball coach, Club team coach). References will be sent an evaluation form to assess the applicant's volleyball skills and personal character. If the references are positive, the applicant will be accepted onto the Volleyball tour. Players need to be accomplished volleyball players, typically some of the better players on their HS team, and most play on a USAV Club team. We aim to have players of similar skill levels. Acceptance is on a first-come, first-served basis and by position. The sooner the application (with references) is completed, the better the chance of making the team. Spaces are limited for each tour, so early application is highly recommended.
