For all athletes, regardless of if they are new or returning, the 2024-2025 season will have a non-refundable mandatory $40 tryout fee. This year, we will also offer a pre-tryout clinic with an optional $20 clinic fee. (For athletes registering for both the pre-tryout clinic AND tryouts, the combined fee will be $50 total.)
For athletes who make a SKEVA East team, there will be a $200 deposit due at the start of the season, then a $1,400 cost for the season.
For the $1,400 fee, we offer three payment options:
OPTION 1: Pay in full via check only. This option will grant a $50 discount. (Complete 1-time fee = $1,350.)
OPTION 2: Payment plan in 4 installments. Payments begin December 1. (Each installment = $350.)
OPTION 3: Payment plan in 6 installments. Payments begin December 1. (Each installment = $234.)

SKEVA East offers a travel volleyball experience that is geared toward creating opportunities for your athlete to play at a higher level. Due to the many inherent expenses in club volleyball, these opportunities are only made possible through player fees, fundraisers, and community aid.
SKEVA East's goal is for athletes to get as much in return for their investment as possible. Players fees are used to help pay for:
Player gear: jerseys (personalized and kept by player), practice shirts, club attire
Tournament fees
Coaching staff: salaries, training
Additional clinics and individual skills days
Gym space, volleyball equipment
USAV insurance
Coverage: club website, social media, recruitment video, etc.
Some of the things players can expect to get in return for their fees include (but are not limited to):
Increased skill training that can be relayed to other settings (i.e. school volleyball)
Increased visibility for college scholarship opportunities
Targeted focus on the value of community and team-building with athletes from other areas
