Getting Ready for OG Tryouts

Hello, Families!

Registration for tryouts for our 2026-2027 OG teams is open. Tryouts for our U15-U16 teams are Friday, 10/30 through Sunday, 11/1.

Check out our Tryout Registration and Schedule pages for all the information about tryouts.

We can’t wait to start our inaugural season of club volleyball!

Our prep sessions are a great way to get ready for our club tryouts and season. Our sessions focus on:

• Skills development: Passing, attacking, serving & blocking instruction to improve your game
• Scrimmages: Small group (3v3/4v4) and full team scrimmages to develop your in-game skills
• Meeting coaches: The clinics are run by OG club head coaches for each age group.
• Register here

 If OG is your first choice for club volleyball: Prioritize attending the Friday tryout.

• Sunday tryout sessions are for makeups and callbacks only.
• Tryout conflicts: We understand there are tryouts for clubs across the region. We scheduled our tryouts to minimize overlap as much as possible. Again, if OG is your first choice, please register for either a Friday or Saturday tryout time. If you have a conflict with our tryout times, please reach out to us at info@ogvbc.org 
• Callbacks: Based on tryout performance, we may request you return for another tryout session for further evaluation.  Callbacks will be on Sunday.
• Waitlist: If the number of players registered for tryouts exceeds our available space, please select "waitlist" on your registration form and we will contact you with additional options.

What if I can't attend the session for my age group?
- We are rarely able to accommodate alternative tryout times.  If you have any questions, you can send us an email info@ogvbc.org

What is the OG tryout process like?
-  At check-in you will receive a number to pin on and that number will be used to evaluate you during tryouts. We will take your height measurements and your standing reach. There will be a warm-up and then players will be evaluated across 3 courts on their serving, blocking, hitting, serve receive, setting, passing, defense and attacking. There will also be position evaluations based on the position you've indicated at registration and check-in you are trying out for. If you have questions about trying out for more than one position, please reach out to us in advance: info@ogvbc.org

Does the Chesapeake Region give guidelines to clubs about tryouts?
- Yes, here is some important information from CHRVA about the tryout and recruitment process.

What age group do I fall into based on my birthday?
- Your age group is defined by your age on July 1, 2027.  (Example: if you are 15 on 7/1/27, the youngest age group you can play in 15's. More information is available here.
