3rd through 12th grade girls

1. High School try-outs are in early May 

2. Evaluations for 6th through 8th graders are in May as well with the final Evaluation and team placement the first week of school. We currently do not make cuts at this level and aim to accommodate all interested players and place them on teams that match and will extend their competitive level. No tryout for Pups at this time.

1. Any current Pope student who is academically eligible and has a current physical on file can try-out for the Varsity or Junior Varsity teams.

2. Any 8th grader attending a Pope feeder middle school and who has a physical completed by a doctor on or after April 1 of the try-out year (2023 for our next tryout) effectively uploaded into ParentVue is also eligible to try-out for the V or JV teams.

We hold a final try-out for students in this situation one afternoon during the first week of school. Please contact us as early as possible if you will be attending Pope and want to tryout, and we can work together toward your eligibility to participate in this tryout.

1. Students who intend to attend Pope High School are eligible to play on our 6th-8th grade teams.

2. Students from any district can play in our Pups program for 3rd through 5th grade girls.

3. A physical is not required for these teams.

You will complete the form on this website to register. We will open the registration in mid-March. You can check in to find the website or subscribe to our newsletter in which we will announce such information.

The coaches will host a Parent & Player Info Meeting a few weeks before try-outs (mid-April) to share details of the upcoming season. Anyone who would like to gather more information about our program is welcome to attend.

Yes. Our fees depend on the schedule planned for each team, number of practices, coaches hired, gear provided, program equipment purchased, etc. For the 2022 season, our fees ranged from $200-600 depending on the team a player makes. We determine the final cost for the upcoming fall season and share that amount at the Info Meeting prior to the tryout

We host youth camps in the summer for rising 3rd through 9th graders usually the first week of June and the first week of July. The registration links will post to this website and be shared via the newsletter.

1. Our High School program is rather competitive and is not usually a starting point for someone to begin playing volleyball. However, all are welcome at try-outs, and we look for what a player can become, not just where she is currently.

2. Our Juniors and Pups programs are a great place to both grow and improve a player’s current skills as well as to learn to play the whole game of volleyball. We have multiple teams with a variety of skill levels. Summer camps include a wide range of experienced and new players as well.

3. The most important volleyball equipment needed is a pair of kneepads. After that, volleyball/basketball shoes can be helpful as can be arms sleeves.
