If you have more questions about tryouts, please feel free to contact us at ljq0407rr@gmail.com

What if there is a conflict with multiple club tryouts?

Unlike some clubs which will be sending offers through emails after tryouts, our coaches will make offers during tryouts, for this reason, we highly recommend you come to MDJRS tryouts if you have serious interest in our teams or see MDJRS as your preferred club.  

• If you receive an Offer Letter/Commitment Form, you have 72 hours to make your decisions. And if you do not respond within the 72 hour window, we will assume that you are declining the offer and we will then offer your position to the next player on the waitlist.
• If you are given an Offer and you decide to decline it, please advise us ASAP so your spot can be offered to another player who is interested.
• If you receive a Waitlist notice you will be contacted in a few days with either an offer to join a team or to let you know that the team rosters are full.Coaches will stay in touch with players until all positions have been filled. You may also contact the team coach. 
• If you received a waitlist, it does not mean you are guaranteed a spot for the next level team. For example, you attend 15 Open Yellow tryouts and receive a Waitlist, if 15 Regional Black(next level team) is your second option, you should attend Regional tryouts to get an offer,  just so you will have a team to play in case all rosters are filled from 15 Open Yellow. If you only intent to try out for a particular team, then no need to attend the next level tryouts.

Will there be any supplemental tryouts?

We do not have any supplemental tryouts scheduled at this time.  Supplemental tryouts might be held at the discretion of the coaches and depend on how well they fill their rosters. Please keep an eye on our website and social media after primary tryouts.

What Happens after I accept the offer.

MDJRS provides volleyball training to students 10-18 years old, from the DC and Baltimore areas. Our goal is to promote volleyball development for juniors in the area and prepare the young student-athletes to play high school volleyball and beyond.

Club Philosophy

• Volleyball should be fun and educational.
• Everyone must put their own interests second to the needs of the team.
• There is value in hard work and sacrifice.
• One should exemplify true sportsmanship.
• Every time you enter a gym, you should learn something about yourself.
• Athletics should complement academics.
• Making your best effort takes courage. Courage is habit-forming.
• Focus and passion are components of effort

Serious Athletes

Maryland Juniors is looking for athletes with strong volleyball skills but more importantly is looking for athletes with high potential (attitude, size, strength, speed). Athletes must commit to 4-6 hours a week of practice and 2-3 tournaments a month. Grades are also important for college play and must be maintained.

Serious Coaches

Serious Competition

Teams will be traveling to many of the best tournaments in the nation. This exposes the athlete to a higher level of competition than found in the region and provides the exposure needed to locate the best college program for them.
