2024-25 Laurens Travel Teams
2024-25 will be our second season with teams based out of Laurens, SC, and we are so excited to return! We know that many families in the Laurens, SC area have had to travel to Greenville, Columbia, or other areas to participate in club volleyball in the past, and we are thrilled to be able to offer a place to play closer to home for them. Below is some general information, please reach out to [email protected] if you have additional questions.
Team Levels
In 2024-25, we will be offering our Club Level teams in Laurens (State and Regional). Click here for more information about these team levels, including tournament schedules, uniform packages, etc.
Coaches
We are working closely with area middle and high school coaches, as well as some former C1 players and local collegiate players to fill our coaching staff in Laurens. Coaches will be announced in the fall, prior to tryouts.
Practice Locations
We have secured the Ridge at Laurens for Sunday afternoon/evening and Wednesday evening practices. This is a beautiful 4-court facility! Weeknight practices will be held at either the Ridge at Laurens or other local area gyms. Practices will begin in November.
Tryouts
For staffing purposes, Laurens tryouts will be held in conjunction with our Greenville fall tryouts in October. Dates will be announced by July 1. All tryouts will take place at the C1 Sportsplex in Mauldin. Please visit our tryout page for more information and registration steps. Please note that if Laurens is your preferred location, you should register for Laurens tryouts in the registration system. Registration will open on June 1.
FAQ
Below are some questions we have received about the upcoming season. If you have additional questions, please contact [email protected].
I'm already registered for Greenville tryouts, can you transfer my registration?
Yes! Please email [email protected] with your player's full name and we will transfer the registration.
Can I be considered for Laurens and Greenville teams?
Yes, but we ask that you let us know which location is your top choice. This will aid in us forming teams after tryouts. Note that we have a very large pool of players for our Greenville tryouts this season, and expect there to be limited spots available on those teams due to gym space.
How many teams will you offer and what age and level will they be?
Based on the interest we've received so far, we expect to offer 5-6 teams in Laurens. Ages will be dependent upon players' USAV age groups, but we are tentatively planning for a 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, and 17U. That may change based on player interest and positions and will be determined after tryouts. Team levels will be either State or Regional, depending on player skill and age groups. Players interested in the Elite or ONE levels should attend Greenville summer tryouts in July.
What if I can't attend tryouts?
If you can attend any part of the tryouts, even with a different age group, that is the best option. We will also have a makeup tryout for all locations. If none of the dates work for you, please contact [email protected] so we can try to come up with a solution.
