TRYOUTS

WELCOME TO THE 2026-2027 CLUB SEASON!

We are looking forward to another great year of Maine Juniors Volleyball and cannot wait for you to be a part of our family, our traditions and all our future successes on and off the court! Things might look a little bit different this year, but WE are here to help you through all of it and hopefully it is a seamless process in the end! Please, this can be a stressful and confusing time so ask all the questions!

The first step is to update and/or Register for USAV for membership. You cannot tryout or move forward without it. There is a separate tryout membership versus the club year membership. Register HERE.

Second Step, you need to register an account with PlayerFirst. It is our unique app with 3Step in which we process payments, update information, send e-mails, etc… If you already have an account, please make sure that it is up to date with the most current contact information. This is very important as this provides us with a way to contact you when teams are selected. Register or update your account HERE.   

Thirdly, the USAV Medical Release Form. Please make sure it is filled out legibly and accurately. Please print and bring the completed copy with you to tryouts to be handed in at check-in. Download and fill out the form HERE.

TRYOUT DATES & TIMES FOR 2026-27

**Times are subject to change. Please come ready with all necessary paperwork completed and know which team you are wanting to play for**

NATIONAL TEAM - SACO DIVISION

Once try-outs are concluded, you will be notified via email with 3 different options: making a particular team and asking you to accept a roster spot with Maine Juniors, an email not making a particular team for upcoming season or a general waitlist e-mail. Upon acceptance, you must then follow the appropriate steps online to finish which include making an initial deposit, double checking your USAV membership, obtaining an AAU membership (National, Gold, Silver & Bronze teams), pick a payment plan and order uniforms.

If you are trying out for a NATIONAL team and do not make said team, you are encouraged to then come back for ELITE & CLUB try-outs at no extra fee. If you wish to decline a roster spot on a particular team, you always have that choice if it is not what you hoped. There is the option of joining our Saco local league for the winter season. They practice 1-time a week for a shorter season and do not travel to NERVA or have overnight tournaments. The local league is built to further develop volleyball fundamentals and mechanics with the overall goal of scrimmaging and playing in game-like situations. Otherwise, we highly suggest continuing to come to our camps, clinics and sessions we have throughout the year to heighten your skills.
