A player may be asked to play up in a higher age bracket by the tryout evaluators. Determination of skill level will be made by unbiased coaches and evaluators according to the tryout criteria. All age bracket exceptions will be authorized by the proper SAJO Volleyball coaches committee in accordance with the JVA Volleyball age bracket policy and guidelines.
SAJO will accept out of district players if they are in the top 7 determined at tryouts and will not keep more than 4 per team unless more are needed to field a team (team of 10). Teams will be created at the discretion of the club based on many elements including skill, coachability, leadership, attitude, positional needs and team dynamics.
Age, ability, and at the older ages position played, shall determine teams. The general basis for team selection will be determined through open tryouts of athletes residing in School District 834 and surrounding communities. Teams will consist from 9-12 players. Ten is the number of players most coaches prefer to have because of rotations, positions, playing time, and an easy number to instruct as a whole group and individually. Determination of teams will be based on individual skill level and position within each team in order to create the strongest most competitive team roster. Player assessments will be made by unbiased coaches and evaluators according to the tryout criteria, and team rosters will be reviewed by the SAJO Board.
SAJO typically cancels practices/events when the Stillwater Area School District closes due to weather. However, parents are encouraged to use their discretion as to the severity of the weather and safety of travel. Please communicate to your coaches if you will miss or be late for practice.
SAJO will continue to monitor and post updates on the website if practices or games are cancelled.
