2024 Elite Travel Team - Beach Club

WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY**

Athletes practice rain or shine. However, as you know by living in the Pacific Northwest, the weather can be unpredictable. The safety and well being of our athletes is our first priority. So if there are weather related concerns, we may cancel a lesson. If there is a cancellation due to severe weather, we will make every effort to post it on our BEACH CALENDAR  before practice.  There are no make-up practices due to weather related cancellations.

We expect to take 16-24 total athletes in each category: U12/U14 and U16/U18. We will use the skill level of those at tryouts to determine the total number of athletes we select. 

We encourage all those interested in our Elite Travel Team to  tryout to see where they rank among those interested. However, we ask that athletes and their families look at the practice, tournament, and travel schedules in determining whether or not they wish to take a spot on the Elite Travel Team.  (Scroll down for further details and to register.)  

TRYOUT DATES: All Age groups U12-U18.

*If a player is not selected, then they are encouraged to register for our regular non-travel beach club.

  • If you participated in NW Juniors FALL ACADEMY last year in 2023 then you already have AAU Membership from participating in it.  

  • If you are a NW Juniors Indoor Club Member then most teams played in an AAU tournament during the club season so those players already have AAU Membership.  The EXCEPTION: 14UA Navy, 15UA Navy, 16UA Navy, Boys Teams.  If you played on one of these teams, then you will need to get AAU Membership.

Elite Team Details - Additional Memberships you will need for tournaments...

Our intention is to provide our Elite Travel Team athletes a higher level experience. Combining the training schedule, the travel events, as well as the "recommended" tournament schedule. We feel that those athletes that are looking for a better experience and "team" experiences will find that with our program.  As part of the Elite Travel Team, besides AAU, two additional memberships will be needed:

  1. USA Volleyball membership. Athletes that participate in indoor junior programming typically secure this membership as part of their participation.  For those that did not participate in an USAV indoor junior club, they can secure a "beach only" membership. This membership is required for the BNQ, BRQ, and some travel events to Oregon.
  2. P1440 Membership (valid thru Dec 31, 2024). Beach Tournaments & Travel Tournaments. Regional and National memberships available.  Regional can be upgraded to National.
  3. AVP America membership.  Beach Tournaments: AVP Beach Series events. It may also be needed to participate in one or more of our travel tournament.  Players must secure the Silver Level or greater of this membership to participate in our AVP Beach Series tournaments and it is good for 12 months.
