QUICK DETAILS
Location: BOLD Athletics Exclusive Training Facility – 85 Market Center Dr., Collierville, TN. (Proudly serving athletes across Memphis, North Mississippi, and the Mid-South).
Tryout Dates: September – October 2026
Training/Practice Only (The Mechanics Lab) Looking to refine your mechanics and athleticism without a weekend tournament commitment? Our Training Only tier is designed for multi-sport athletes or those wanting targeted, high-level reps. You receive the uncompromising BOLD coaching standard and advanced athletic performance training, with zero team travel required.
BOLD Academy (Developmental) We don’t do “rec-league.” This is where we build elite fundamentals from day one. Designed for new or younger athletes in the Mid-South, the Academy teaches high-IQ volleyball, court discipline, and teamwork within our premium club environment. It is the perfect entry point for families who want their athletes trained the right way from the very beginning.
Local Teams (Regional Competition) Experience the true BOLD standard, top-tier coaching, and intense local matches without the national travel schedule. Designed for athletes who want high-level Memphis and Collierville club competition close to home.
Travel Teams (The Elite Standard) Our premier tier for ambitious athletes seeking regional and national exposure. Travel teams represent the ultimate BOLD standard—demanding the highest level of commitment, advanced biomechanics training, and a “faceless opponent” mentality to dominate major tournaments. Perfect for athletes actively looking to play at the collegiate level.
Physical & Mechanical Assessment: We don’t just run drills; we evaluate athletic engineering. Coaches assess serving, passing, setting, hitting, explosive movement, and spatial court awareness.
The Intangibles Evaluation: We look for grit. Coaches observe attitude, effort, coachability, and how athletes respond to adversity to assess their current and long-term leadership potential.
The Placement Process: Athletes are considered for placement within the BOLD Pipeline (Training Only, Academy, Local, or Travel) based on absolute skill, age, and cultural fit. We do not compromise our rosters; athletes are placed exactly where they will develop best.

We know the official USAV age charts can be confusing. To ensure your athlete is registered correctly, please follow this strict, bottom-line rule:
The age your athlete will be on July 1st, 2027, is the exact age group they must try out for. (Example: If your athlete is 13 today, but turns 14 on or before July 1st, they must register for the 14U tryouts.)
Delta Region Age/Grade Waivers: In certain circumstances, the Delta Region may grant an age waiver allowing an athlete to play down with their current grade level. If you believe your athlete requires a grade-based waiver, please contact us at info@bold901.com prior to registering so we can verify their eligibility.
