Many factors that go into our decisions for pricing for all of our travel teams. Each team operates independently on its own budget to ensure that each family’s costs are going directly to their child.
It is important to first understand what the tuition costs do cover:
What it does not include:
Why costs are increasing for the 2024 Travel season:
Yes, you may tryout for multiple age groups. You must register for both age groups. A player may only advance to a higher age group (i.e “play up”) if they could hypothetically make the elite team of the higher age group.
Yes. Full details on the application process are forthcoming. Families will have to apply and demonstrate need by the deadline that is set. All recipients of financial assistance will be required to play on a regional level team.
Please refer to the USAV age definition chart to determine which age group you should register for.
You can register for whichever time slot works best for your schedule for the first weekend! All players will be notified via email which session to attend for the second weekend*
*The absence of a National tryout invitation for the second weekend does NOT mean that you will not be offered a spot on an Elite or National team.
We welcome any players to try-out at an age/grade level above their current age/grade level. Our policy regarding “playing up” is that you will need to register and pay for your current age group as well as the age group above that of your current age. We will only select you to “play up” if you make the Elite team at the above age group. For example, your player is in 9th grade (U15) and they try-out for U15 and U16. If they are selected for U16 Elite then they will receive only one offer for U16 Elite. We will only offer you the highest team you have been selected for. If you are not offered an Elite team at the “playing up” age group then you will be offered only the team you make in your current age group.
Please email nicole@540volleyballacademy.com or courtney@540volleyballacademy.com with any questions!
*Please note that this does not pertain to any player under U12 as we have no lower age group teams. You can be any age under 12 on any of our U12 teams (Elite, Navy, White, Carolina, etc.)
