2010 High Performance: What’s Ahead?

Dear USAV Athlete,

I want to invite you to an upcoming USA Volleyball National Indoor High Performance Tryouts. USA Volleyball hosts multiple National Girls’ HP Tryouts across the country to identify athletes for our summer 2010 Programs. We are conducting tryouts in Phoenix, AZ at Arizona State Univ. Wells Fargo Arena this Sunday, March 14 and would like you to consider attending. Tryouts are open to anyone interested.

Pre-register online for a discounted rate, if you miss the online registration, walk-up registrations the day of the tryouts are also accepted. Our online registration for Phoenix has been extended by a day and is still open but closes at 11:59pm tomorrow – Thursday, March 11.

You can find registration, program information or tryout specifics on the web at http://usavolleyball.org/volleyball-disciplines/high-performance-indoor/hp-athletes/2010-tryouts

USA Volleyball HP provides many team and camp opportunities including the Continental Team Program that Arizona Region Athletes are eligible for in 2010. The only way to be considered for these programs is through our national tryout process.

The 2010 High Performance Championships will be held in eastern Tennessee. The Arizona Region will not be fielding any teams this year as the cost for the training and travel is prohibitive for our program. However the HP Championships return to Tucson for 2011 and you can bet the Arizona Region will have a presence.

Registration for the 2010 tryout sessions are underway. Click here to sign up online. The cost is $65 for a pre-registered USAV member. There is an additional cost of $5 if not a USAV member. Walk up registration is $100.
