Ages based on USAV Playing Age (see tryouts below for age definitions).
Players should try out for
their age group. Coaches may move players and combine age groups as
needed.
There will be 10 players per
team.
There may be more or less teams than listed above based on the number
and level of girls at tryouts. The CJV program philosophy is to only
form a Travel Team at a specific age group if we feel that team will be
one of the most dominant in the region. Otherwise, we feel the team and
girls will benefit more by participating in the CJV Non-Travel Program.
Coaches
Each of the Traveling
Teams will have 1 Head Coach and 1 Assistant Coach.
Coaching assignments may change based on the number and level of girls
at tryouts and the total number of teams formed.
Coaches for the 2011-12 season:
