FAQs
How do players register for tryouts?
Parents or players may register by clicking on the Online Tryout
Registration link above.. We will receive your registration and
you will be prompted to pay in advance online or via mail for
$25.00. Registrations and payments for tryouts in advance must
be received by Saturday, July 31st for early pricing.
Registrations on August 1st are considered at the door
registrations and will be charged $35.00.
Why do some age groups list grades or birth
dates? Regional level and local level teams are also what we
call “grade” teams in our region. If a player is too old for the
required birth date but is in the correct grade, they can play
on this level of team. National level team players must meet the
birth date requirement of that age of team in order to play on a
national team regardless of their grade.
Why are tryouts held at Premier Academy in
Ohio, rather than in Michigan? Premier Academy owns and
operates the M-Juniors Program. The Academy in Ohio houses 7
volleyball courts to ensure a very solid tryout environment for
each athlete. M-Juniors Volleyball only utilizes Premier Academy
approximately two-three times total throughout the season for
meetings. All other activities are held at the M-Juniors
practice facility.
What will be presented at the parent/player
meeting after tryouts? We will present on all of the season
details listed above in full and take questions.
When will players know if they are invited
and how long will they have to decide to play for M-Juniors?
Players will be notified via email on Thursday, August 5 after
make-up tryouts have concluded. Players that are selected will
have 10 days to make a decision to accept their spot in the
program. Upon acceptance to the team, players will make a
non-refundable deposit towards their club dues.
What type of athlete are we seeking? For
the National Level Teams, M-Juniors is a very intense training
program that is geared toward the college bound athlete. Players
must be able to commit to training 3 days per week beginning in
early December and also to a national traveling schedule ending
in mid-June. We are looking for athletes who are competitive,
hard working, and dedicated to the sport. National Team 15 and
16s will be allowed to participate in one HS winter sport, but
not juniors and seniors. We feel as though at the 17/18s
National age-group, players should be focused on preparing for
college volleyball. For the Regional Level Teams, M-Juniors is a
solid commitment with two days per week of training and a
regional level traveling schedule of within about 5 hours and
the season running from January-mid-May. Regional Team players
of any age may play a HS winter or HS spring sport (either or).
For the Local level teams (14s and 12s), the program is a great
introduction to club volleyball with training 2 times per week
from January-mid April and matches within the Southeast Michigan
and Northwest Ohio area only.
What makes M-Juniors different from the other
clubs in southeast Michigan? M-Juniors is operated by a
governing body with Premier LLC, which allows the club to
operate at a high level administratively and consistently
throughout the years. M-Juniors volleyball club is also known
for their focus on the individual advancement of each athlete
through its unique training style. With over approximately
150-200 hours of practice each season for many of the athletes,
they will receive both quantity and quality coaching. In
addition to training hours, our players receive plyometrics,
core strength training, additional setters’ training, position
training, and weightlifting (16-18s National) with our personal
trainer each week. We feel as though these things are essential
to train and compete at high level nationally.
