LOCAL indoor tournaments are only based on grade level in school:

  • 12U = 6th grade and younger
  • 14U = 7th and 8th grade
  • 15/16U = 9th and 10th grade
  • 17/18U = 11th and 12th grade

For TRAVEL tournaments, the governing body is the Southern California Volleyball Association (SCVA) and they have defined cut-off dates based on birthdate, regardless of grade in school.  If your son or daughter will be competing on a Travel team, or participating in any SCVA or USA Volleyball sanctioned events, then she must adhere to the SCVA/USAV dates.

Here are the SCVA birthdate cut-offs dates for the 2022-2023 season:

  • 18 and Under: players born on or after JULY 1, 2004
  • 17 and Under: players born on or after JULY 1, 2005
