League Overview

The HS Travel (HST) league is for players with either significant club and/or Varsity or JV experience who are looking for a competitive volleyball league with a much smaller commitment than a club program. Strong HS freshman players may be a fit for the HST league as well. Active club players cannot be on an HST team (note that active club players are always welcome to coach McLean Youth Volleyball teams and also serve as referees).

HST players must commit to one 90-minute evening practice a week and one 90-minute match on Saturdays. We plan to start HST practices the week of March 10th, assuming we have gym space at McLean HS. Otherwise, practices will start the week of March 17th.

The term “Travel” originates from when MYV only had one or two travel teams that would in fact travel to play against other area teams. The HST league is now able to have a sufficient number of teams to not require any travel - i.e. all matches will be played in the McLean area. The term “Travel” is merely used to distinguish the league from the HS “Select” league. 

Tryout Process

HS girls interested in playing on a HS Travel (HST) team have two options

• Join a Self-Formed Team
  • Gather a group of friends, identify an adult coach, and contact us at mcleanvb@gmail.com to notify us of your self-formed team.
  • Once you hear back from us (we will need to verify whether your team is a good fit for HST or HS Select), each player should register in the HS House league. We will then move your registration to your HST team.
  • Each player on a self-formed team should not attend HST tryouts. 
  • Each adult coach must register as a coach and must attend HST tryouts and the draft to ensure they have a team of 12 players. 

• Attend the HS Travel Tryout
  • Register for the HS House league and attend the HST tryouts on March 3rd, 2025, at McLean HS.
  • Coaches will use the HST draft on March 7th to assign players to teams. You will be notified shortly after that if you are drafted onto a HST team.

If you are not drafted onto a HST team, you will still have the option of playing in the HS Select or HS House leagues.

All HST teams will have 12 players.

League Details

1. HST matches follow standard volleyball rules.
2. Everyone on the roster will receive matching MYA Volleyball uniforms for matches.
3. Teams must have a minimum of 5 players at a match. We expect this not to be an issue given the requirement for 12 players on a team, as forfeits are a worst case outcome for any match.
4. For any questions, please contact us at mcleanvb@gmail.com .
