Not ready for a team? Try VTP
Our Volleyball Training Program runs the same season as club, at a much lower cost. It's built for athletes who need reps, skills and drills. For athletes still developing fundamentals like an overhand serve and consistent passing, VTP is the recommended starting point. It has placed many athletes on club teams the following season.

answers
When will teams and fees be posted?
Coming soon. We'll post 17U teams, coaches, schedules and season fees on this page as soon as they're final.
How do payments work?
Mt. Hood Volleyball does not accept cash or checks. All payments must be made via PlayMetrics. Season fees, deposits and payment plans for 17U are coming soon.
Help paying for club?
CEVA's Athlete Success Fund awards need-based scholarships of $500 to $1,500 toward club dues. Apply by Monday, Nov 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM. Your player must have a full CEVA membership (not the tryout membership) by that deadline. Awards are paid to the club starting in January 2027 and can't be used for tryout fees or deposits.

What if my player isn't ready for a team?
Start with VTP, our Volleyball Training Program. It runs the same season as club at a much lower cost, and it's all reps, skills and drills. For athletes still developing fundamentals like an overhand serve and consistent passing, VTP is the recommended starting point. It has placed many athletes on club teams the following season. Learn about VTP.
Can my player try out for more than one team?
She tries out once for 17U. Coaches watch every player and place her on the team that fits her level.
