FAQ
How does team selection work?
Regardless of early commitment or attending a tryout, ALL athletes will be involved in an evaluation period, typically 2-4 weeks long. During that time athletes will be placed on a team based on age & skill level.
What is included in the apparel package?
In past years, we have included multiple sets of game jerseys and shorts, as well as practice shirts and a set of warm up pants and top in our apparel package. While those items are not final for this year, we expect to offer a comparable set of apparel pieces for the 2026-2027 season.
Where can I view practice and tournament schedules?
Practice schedules will not be finalized until closer to the season start date. Once accepted into the program, athletes and parents will be invited to join our information platform, LeagueApps, where practice schedules will populate based on your/your son’s team. Tournament dates are not final, but approximate dates are listed above. Tournament schedules are typically released by the Wednesday prior to competition.
If you have any other questions regarding tryouts or the season, please feel free to email our Boys Director, Bryan Paliza: bpaliza@630volleyball.com
Tournament Descriptions
THE POINTS SERIES
The bulk of the season’s tournament participation will take place in the premier league for boy’s volleyball in the whole Midwest: THE Points Series. This series of tournaments will run through the entirety of the season and feature teams from all over the Midwest. As it is the most competitive and complete competition in the area, it is important to us that we participate. In this series, teams compete over the course of the season to improve their placement within the whole pack — similar to the regular season of a school or professional sport. This creates an especially competitive play between teams.
Boys Winter Invitational
The Boys Winter Invitational is a new tournament that has been introduced to us which will take place in Louisville, KY, December 12th - 14th . At this time, we are uncertain which teams will be participating in this tournament, but we can say with certainty that our top teams from each age group will be in consideration to attend. This is shaping up to be a National level tournament, with the best teams from the Midwest, East Coast, and beyond in attendance. We hope to have more details about this tournament soon!
AAU National Championships
The AAU National Championships are the premier competition for all volleyball teams around the country. Since moving from USAV to AAU, the AAU National Championships have grown to greater heights and is now the largest and most competitive tournament of the year. With three different divisions (Open, Premier, and Club), every team has an opportunity to compete for a National Championship at this event. All 1’s, 2’s, and 3’s athletes are required to attend the AAU National Championship in Orlando, Florida.
