We average two tournaments per month and our tournaments start in January and end in June.  About half of our tournaments are multi-day events.  Most age groups compete at two national qualifiers. Most years our multi-day tournaments are held in Minneapolis, MN., Chicago, IL., Indianapolis, IN., Milwaukee and Wisconsin Dells, WI.  Our single day events are usually held in the Badger Region (Wisconsin), Great Lakes Region (Northern Illinois), and the Iowa Region (Eastern Iowa).   We will also host some of our own tournaments in the Madison area (Madison Open).  A list of the tournaments we plan to attend this season will be posted on our Tournament page as soon as tournament information is published by the hosting clubs.   A tentative tournament list is posted now.

3. How much does club cost?           4. What does the club fee cover?

The club fee for teams are 14's-18's = $1250 and 13's = $1100.  These fees cover the cost of uniforms, tournament entry fees (except season ending tournaments), USAV registration, equipment, coaches expenses (except season ending tournaments), gym rental, etc..  These fees do not cover the players cost of travel such as hotels, meals, gas, etc..

 

 

Payments are spread over the season as a convenience to our families.  We require a start-up fee when the player commits after tryouts and then the remainder of payments are spread over the season in monthly payments.  Monthly payments are a convenience for our players.  Players must keep their payments up-to-date in order to continue to practice and compete at tournaments.

 

 

Season ending tournaments are handled on a team by team basis since this may include national championship tournaments.  Each attending player will be charged an additional fee for these tournaments.

7. My daughter wants to play other sports.  How do you handle potential conflicts?

We understand that many of our players are part of their high school athletics programs and other activities such as dance, music, etc..  We expect that academics will take precedence in whatever time conflict presents itself.  We do however, expect a serious commitment to Wisconsin Select practices and tournaments.  Wisconsin Select exists to help our players improve their level of play and provide the opportunity to compete against some of the best competition within USA Volleyball.  To do that we need to have all of our players together working as a team.  We inform our players early about the tournaments we expect to enter and we expect feedback from them on possible conflicts.  We also expect to be informed by our players well in advance when they will be late or miss a practice.  Each team will define what a player can expect when they miss practices with regards to  tournament play, especially if they miss without prior notice to their coach.

10. What if my daughter can't make one of the tryout dates?

If your daughter cannot attend one of our tryout sessions let us know.  On the first day of tryouts part of the session deals with physical testing.  If you daughter can come at another age groups time to do the physical testing that would be okay.  If she cannot attend any session on the first day then she should try to come about 1/2 hour earlier on the second day to do the physical testing.  In either case, make sure you let us know about the situation so that we can expect her at a different time.  You can send us an email at wisconsinselect@gmail.com to let us know of the conflict and how you plan to address it.

12.  How do I register for Select tryouts?

There are 2 ways to register for Select tryouts.    REMEMBER PLAYERS & PARENTS MUST SIGN MEMBERSHIP FORM

Membership and Medical Forms Can Be Printed From Our Website

1.   Register online at Sign-Up-To-Play:  Follow the link Select Tryouts to find directions on how to use this website to signup for our tryouts.  If you played USAV volleyball last year, you probably already have your personal information saved at SUTP.  If you are new to club volleyball you will need to create an account. SUTP will allow you to automatically print a USAV Membership form using the player's account information. You will also need to print a USAV Medical Release form.  Mail these forms, signed by a parent or guardian, with a $30 check payable to Wisconsin Select  to Wisconsin Select, 3534 Stonebridge Dr., Madison, WI 53179.

 

 

2.   Register onsite the day of tryouts.  This will cost extra...$40.  You will need to complete all of the necessary forms and have them signed by a parent or guardian before you can participate in tryouts.
