- When is the Indoor Boys Volleyball Season? Spring. Practices usually start in early February and the first game is usually mid February. The last league games are in the end of April, with varsity playoff games concluding in May.
- Is Boys Volleyball a CIF Sport? Yes, boys indoor volleyball is a CIF San Diego Spring Season Sport. CIF rules apply to all aspects of the game, practice, rankings, playoffs, etc.
- When can I tryout? Tryout dates are controlled by the CIF Calendar. This changes every year and can be altered, but generally Boys Volleyball Tryouts take place the first or second week in February.
- Do I Attend All Tryout Days or Just One? Tryouts will last multiple days. Students must attend ALL published days of tryouts. If you are going to miss any tryout days, you must email your coach in advance!
- Can I still tryout if I missed the first tryout day(s)? Yes! Make sure you are cleared, and attend the remaining tryout days/times. If you are not cleared yet and still want to participate, please start the clearance process immediately email the Varsity Head Coach for next steps.
- Which Tryout Time Should I Attend? There are different tryout times for Varsity, JV & Novice. All 12th graders and varsity players from previous years should attend the varsity tryout times. All 9th, 10th and 11th graders should plan to attend the first day of tryouts at the Frosh/JV time slot. Some players will be asked to attend both JV and Varsity tryouts based on their performance at tryouts, so be sure to keep an open schedule to attend both time slots if invited.
- How many boys volleyball teams does CCA have? CIF allows our school to have three teams: Varsity, Junior Varsity and Novice. Each team can have 8-18 players per squad. CCA plays in a very competitive league and usually only the most skilled players make the varsity team. While skill level is a major determining factor for placement of players between the JV & Novice teams, sometimes the team's positional needs are put first. It is important to note that unlike "club" volleyball, high school volleyball does not guarantee playing time. Coaches have the sole discretion to decide who plays and who doesn't. At CCA, effort and attitude play a major role in determining play time.
- How Can I Prepare for the High School Volleyball Season in Advance? If you are able, take a "learn to play volleyball" class at one of our local San Diego (or North County SD) Volleyball Clubs. There are great clubs in the area! Ask your friends for recommendations, but a few good options are Seaside, Wave, Coast and SD Beach. If you already know how to play, club volleyball team experience is a huge plus. Also, please consider playing in the CCA Fall Beach Volleyball Club. Finally, as Boys Indoor Volleyball is a "Spring" CIF sport, all the games are played during CCA's Spring Semester. As many of the away games require "early release" from class at the end of the school day, consider requesting a free 4th period or a less rigorous class for your fourth period in the Spring Semester.
