New for 2026-27

During opening weekend tryouts may begin on Saturday at 8:00 AM through Sunday 10:00 PM, offers may be issued at any time. The athlete may accept, decline, or exercise their option to wait. A standard waiting period will apply and will expire on Monday at 8:00 AM. If the athlete takes no action by the deadline, the offer is automatically rescinded. After the opening weekend deadline passes, no waiting period will apply for any additional tryouts held in that same division.

Please register for the specific date you plan to attend.

📎 USAV Age Definition Chart

We follow USAV guidelines for age group placement. The chart is a helpful tool for families to see where their athlete fits, since volleyball age cutoffs fall mid-year.

TeamSnap will automatically show all eligible options based on birthdate, including the opportunity to register with the older group when available.

🛑 Tryout Membership Required

All athletes must have a current PSRVB/USAV Tryout Membership in order to participate in tryouts.

Final U15–U18 Make-Up Tryouts

We’re still looking for a few athletes to help round out our final rosters for the upcoming season!

Our teams have strong cores in place, and we are continuing to evaluate athletes who can add depth, competitiveness, versatility, and a great team presence.

Current areas of particular interest include:

U16 Elite (Travel) — U15/U16 athletes: Setters and Pins
U16 Academy (Regional) — U15/U16 athletes: Setter
U18 Elite (Travel) — U17/U18 athletes: Setter, Pin, and Libero

Athletes at other positions are encouraged to attend. We are always interested in strong athletes who may be a great fit for one of our teams, even if their position is not specifically listed above.

Final Make-Up Tryout Dates

Wednesday, August 12 | 7:00–9:00 PM
Wednesday, August 19 | 7:00–9:00 PM

📍 Location:

SYLVESTER MIDDLE SCHOOL

16222 Sylvester Rd SW, Burien, WA 98166

Athletes only need to attend one make-up tryout.

During these final tryouts, prospective athletes will play alongside our already-committed WSR athletes who are available to attend. This gives our coaches the opportunity to evaluate athletes in a more realistic team environment and look at skill, competitiveness, versatility, communication, and overall team fit.

There are still opportunities available, and we would love to see you in the gym!

Tournament & Season Schedule Information

26-27 Reign Elite Teams

26-27 Reign Academy Teams

All Elite teams are expected to participate in approximately 1–2 tournaments per month during the season. Most tournaments are within a 1–2-hour drive of Seattle. Most tournaments are within a one- to two-hour drive of Seattle. Depending on the team and final tournament schedule, some Elite teams may also attend one or more out-of-state events during the season.

Travel inclusions vary by team. For U15–U18 Elite teams, required athlete travel for scheduled team events is included in tuition. For U14 Elite, athlete travel for the Winter Warm-Up Tournament is included. Parent and family travel expenses are not included.

Shared Event Notes

The following events are commonly attended by multiple or all Elite teams, depending on age group, division, qualification, and final team placement. Full team schedules will be confirmed as each event approaches.

Local Friendly Tournaments

These early-season tournaments are usually held on one of the two weekends before the Christmas holiday, depending on host availability. They are typically scrimmage-style events designed to help teams build chemistry, get early court time, and provide coaches with initial evaluation opportunities.

Winter Warm-Up Tournament

Winter Warm-Up is a multi-division tournament typically held in Portland, Oregon, the weekend before the Christmas holiday.

MLK Tournament

The MLK Tournament is a competitive multi-division event typically held in downtown Seattle at the Convention Center.

Regional Power League

Regional Power League dates may include two-day weekends, or single-day events spread across multiple weekends. Locations are assigned by the league host and may change for each date of play based on division, age group, and placement. Play locations can range from Stanwood to Lakewood.

Teams typically have 4–6 dates of play between January and April, depending on age group and league format.

Possible Bid Tournament

Teams that participate in PSR Power League may have the opportunity to attend the Bid Tournament if they place in the top 16 of their division. This event is usually held in March or April.

PSR Regionals

PSR Regionals is typically held in Centralia for U13+ teams and locally for U11–U12 teams. This event is usually held in April or May.

For Centralia events, WSR will try to offer a group hotel block, when possible, but space is limited and not guaranteed.

PSR Regionals is the final tournament of the season for our U10/U11 Elite team and is a great opportunity for younger athletes to showcase their growth, teamwork, and development from the season.

Willamette Volleyball Classic

The Willamette Valley Classic is typically held in Portland, Oregon, on the second weekend in May. WSR will try to offer a group hotel block, when possible, but space is limited and not guaranteed.

This is the end-of-year tournament for our U12–U14 travel teams. We love using this event as a chance to celebrate the season, have fun, and show how far each team has come.

End-of-Season Party

Teams will also have a fun end-of-season celebration to recognize the athletes, coaches, families, and team growth from the season.

26-27 Reign Academy Teams

WS Reign Academy offers athletes an exciting opportunity to build skills, improve game understanding, and compete in a fun, challenging environment without the full travel commitment of an Elite team.

Our Academy Club program runs during the core club season, typically from November or December through the spring. Some older teams may continue into June. Depending on the age group, Academy Club teams participate in structured in-house games or a local competitive league.

Our Academy 4v4 League is a 5-week fall program offered to athletes who are not placed on an Elite or Academy Club team. This league gives athletes additional court time, skill development, and competitive play in a smaller-sided format.

General Information

Uniform & Gear

Each Academy Club athlete will receive:

Two Reign Academy game-day T-shirt jerseys
One practice T-shirt

Each Academy 4v4 athlete will receive:

One Reign Academy game-day T-shirt jersey
One practice T-shirt

These items are provided at no additional cost and are designed for comfort, team identity, and competitive play.

Tryout Information

All athletes who attend Reign tryouts will be considered for both Elite and Academy teams.

Athletes who are not selected for an Elite team will automatically be considered for Academy placement.

Alternates

Reign Academy Club athletes may also be considered alternates for our Elite teams. If an Elite roster spot becomes available, an Academy Club athlete may be offered the opportunity to move up.

Additional fees may apply if an athlete accepts an Elite team roster spot. Moving up is optional, and athletes may decline without penalty.

In-House Games

U10–U16 Academy Club teams will participate in structured in-house games at least once per month.

Games are approximately 1 hour long and are designed to provide athletes with additional competitive experience in a supportive environment.

Certified in-house referees will be supported by trained athlete referees from Academy and Elite teams. This helps prepare all athletes for regional and national tournament expectations, where athlete officiating is a standard part of competition.

What’s Next

If your athlete is selected for an Academy team, families will receive a welcome email with registration instructions, season details, and practice start information.

Please make sure your contact information is up to date in TeamSnap registration so you do not miss important team communication.
