2026 / 2027 SEASON
TRYOUT INFORMATION
** NEW THIS YEAR!! **
We will no longer have a JO & National Season. Instead, we have moved to a new format of having a
Winter Season & Spring Season.
WINTER SEASON:
- Practice begins the first week of December.
- Practice 2x per week (Days/Times TBD).
- 2 1/2 hour practices.
- Mental training included.
- Season will end Mid-March.
SPRING SEASON:
- Practice begins Mid-March
- Practice 2x per week (Days/Times TBD).
- 2 1/2 hour practices.
- Mental training included.
- Season will end in June (Nationals in Florida or AZ)
New teams will be formed for the spring season by players who played throughout the winter season. Not everyone selected for a Winter team will be added to a Spring team roster. Spring rosters will be built with players that check the boxes in practices and competition with their effort, attitude, body language, communication, and coachability.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?!
We are looking to build the most competitive teams with athletes that want to excel in the sport of volleyball. We have many multi-sport/multi-activity athletes that cannot commit to our past national season length, so we needed a system to provide better opportunities for all athletes wanting to play at MWP. Our spring season rosters will be made up of players that show they are wanting a longer commitment to the sport and an opportunity to play on a bigger stage.

*Anticipated Teams for the 2026 - 2027 Season*
Winter Season: 13's/14's (2 teams), 15's (2 teams), 16's (2 teams), 17's/18's (2-3 teams)

It is our goal to build the most competitive teams as possible while maintaining a healthy and fun environment for our athletes and staff.
*If teams are not filled, we will host a secondary tryout to fill needed positions on a roster.
The economy plays the biggest role on if there is any increase in our fees. The cost to rent facilities, attend quality tournaments, improve our equipment, and have a top-level staff has gone up. We hope you understand this as you view our fees for the season and consider Midwest Power Volleyball.
