12 Purple & 12 Black

If volleyball is a sport your kid wants to get involved in, then this is a great opportunity to get a head start in the sport. Whether they have played club, or are new to the club scene, this can be a great opportunity for your daughter.

Circle City has worked very hard to provide a great product at a relatively low cost for the youngsters. Tryouts begin November 1st and there are four tryout dates total. You should try to attend all of the tryouts, however, if you can't make a day, please let us know. The entire tryout schedule can be seen here.

The season runs from January thru June. These two teams practice two times during the week and on Sundays except when they have a tournament on the weekend. They will compete in approximately two tournaments a month and the majority of the tournaments will be local. The team will probably travel to Louisville once and St. Louis once and they also may compete at Nationals (No site has been determined yet for Nationals). Cost and all information can be found in the Circle City handbook. If you would like one mailed to you, please email Scott or Lance and they can send one to you. Or, check out our top notch volleyball facility and stop by Capitol Sports Center to pick one up!

12 White

This team is for those kids that are looking for an opportunity to do more than just a clinic. This will be the third year we have done a third 12's team and it has been a huge success the past two seasons. We will not make any cuts for the 12 White team. Anyone that wants to be a part of the team can. If we have too many kids, we will practice together, but when the tournaments come around, we will divide the kids up. Last season we had three coaches, so 14 kids was not a problem at all.

Anyone that would like to be on 12 White should still attend tryouts. It's a great way to play some volleyball and get some instruction at no additional cost. If for some reason you can't attend tryouts, it's not a problem, you will just need to notify us that you would like to be on 12 White and, when we start in January, you can join us. Anyone that attends tryouts looking to play on 12 Purple or 12 Black and does not make it is more than welcome to play on 12 White.

The cost for the entire season is $750 and there will be no additional costs. You will need to pay the tryout fee of $350 and then you will be billed $100 each month starting in January and running through April. This will include 5 or 6 tournaments, uniform top, spandex, kneepads, socks, back pack, warm-ups, USAV membership and all of your practices. The first practice will be Monday, January 11th. Practices will be Mondays and Fridays from 5:30 to 7pm. The season will conclude with the Midwest Power League Tournament on April 11th. If you have any questions, please contact Lance Keating at lkeating@capitolsportscenter.com or call (317) 839-5222.
