To determine the age that you will try out for, ask this question: How old will the player be on August 31, 2013? Whatever the answer is to that question is the age that she will try out for. USA Volleyball groups teams by age, not by their school grade.
For the 2013 Club season, Brazos Valley Juniors is looking for enthusiastic, mature, and responsible coaches that are experienced in teaching/coaching volleyball to girls 10-18 and that have a passion for kids and the game of volleyball. Basic job requirements include working tryouts in November, running one to two practices a week from December through April (Sunday and Wednesday's). The tournament schedule varies by age group, but works out to about 2 tournaments per month. Compensation includes a salary, tournament per diem, and mileage and hotel expenses reimbursed. Interested applicants should email Jacky Pence at skittle@suddenlink.net. and/or complete the application that can be downloaded in the "handouts" section of this website. Interviews will be conducted in late September.

Congratulations to two of our fine players from 16 Mizuno, Kaycey Cermin and Lauren Loehr! Both were named to the Lone Star Region's High Performance teams and will compete at the USA National High Performance Championships this summer in Iowa from July 24-28th. The girls will train with their teams in Austin prior to the tournament.
Kaycey, a middle hitter, will be a junior at A&M Consolidated High School and Lauren, a setter/right side will be a Junior at Caldwell High School. Lauren will compete on the Lone Star Region Youth team and Kaycey will play on the Lone Star Region Junior team (teams are determined by birth year). These athletes were chosen after participating in tryouts that were held in several cities in the Lone Star region this spring.
Kaycey and Lauren join past BVJ stars, Shelby Dickson, Erika Arthur, and Kallie Pence who have represented BVJ at the USA National High Performance Championships, playing for the Lone Star Region.

Congratulations to the Lone Star Regional Champions, Brazos Valley 14 Mizuno. The team went undefeated in the two day tournament, playing some terrific teams and proudly earning a National Bid to the USAV Junior National Championships to be held in Columbus, Ohio beginning June 30.
Also, at Regionals, 18 Mizuno earned a berth in the Gold Bracket and then played in a Bid match, and although fell short, it was a great run to end their season.
