    Galaxy holds our indoor tryouts in November to allow for most of the NCHSAA season to be completed AND to let middle school-age players develop during their school volleyball seasons. This is also the timeframe recommended by our USAV Region, Carolina Region.

    So enjoy the high school and middle school seasons.

    Our cost for tryouts is $20. The cost covers gym rental and coaches. If you are wanting to try out for multiple age groups, please do not register twice. Coaches and staff will invite you to stay for the upper-age tryout if they observe and feel you are physically qualified. If asked, you will not be charged twice.

    Parents – we will not have enough room (literally) inside the gym for you to watch your kid at tryouts. I am very sorry. Parents can drop off and pick up.
