New York: fall 2026 tryout and season start dates

Every date below comes from Section VIII (Nassau County) publications, named and linked under each table. Nothing here is estimated - a date we could not verify is not on this page.

New York has no single statewide start date - NYSPHSAA delegates start dates to its 11 sections. These are Section VIII (Nassau County) dates, shown as a verified example. Check your own section's calendar.

How to verify your local tryout

Ask the athletic director. School tryout dates live with the school, not the state - the association sets the first day anything is allowed to happen, and your school picks its days after that.

Check the association calendar. The source links above are the association's own publications - if a date on this page ever disagrees with the association, the association is right and we want to know about it.

For club volleyball, check your region. USA Volleyball regions publish binding tryout and signing dates for club seasons - your region's site is the authority.
