High School Team Programs
School-sponsored programs are mainly in High Schools (grades 9th thru 12th). It is a selective program run in the fall with tryouts in early August. Girls programs fill two or three teams: Varsity, Junior Varsity (JV) and often Freshmen. Boys programs have just a single Varsity team for now. Immediately after tryouts, teams practice or play 4-6 times a week until school begins and continue after school all the way though playoffs in November. Matches are typically scheduled twice per week against regional schools of a similar size.
For public schools, girls and boys volleyball are governed by the Virginia High School League (VHSL) with schools across the state grouped by Class (size), Region and District with only like-sized schools competing against each other. For private schools, there are several regional athletic conferences. Most teams play in a Virginia-wide playoff organized by Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA) which groups schools into three divisions based on size.
