How to prepare and decide if Club volleyball with Chaska Juniors Volleyball Club is right for your athlete?

Before registering for Club season tryouts, consider if you can confidently answer "yes" to the following questions:

  • Has your player participated on a formal volleyball team before, such as one of our YDT Fall League teams?
  • Is your player eager to join a team, and mature enough to handle the commitment of a multi-month season?
  • Has your athlete attended multiple Chaska Juniors Academy clinics (formerly Chaska Mini Juniors)?
  • Does your family's schedule allow for a high level of commitment, including attending most practices and tournaments? Practices are typically held on weekday evenings, with occasional Sunday sessions.

Attend an open gym:

We will be holding open gyms for interested players, 4th grade and up, to come and play with other athletes planning to join our program. You can attend 1 or all of the dates.  Attendance will not impact your placement on teams.
