WHAT TO EXPECT AT TRYOUTS

  • Athletes should arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of tryouts to check in and warm-up.
  • Athletes will be issued one numbered t-shirt that should be worn to any tryouts they choose to attend. Only one tryout is necessary, but once you've attended a tryout you are welcome to come to any other tryouts for additional evaluations or extra reps/training for free.
  • We utilize a high repetition circuit format so each athlete is provided significant contact with the ball in the evaluated core skills and every athlete is afforded the fairest evaluation possible.
  • Each athlete will be evaluated by our coaching staff on their volleyball skills, knowledge, coachability, and teamwork.
  • Following the tryout session, the coaching staff discusses their evaluations and works together on the team placement process. We aim to place each athlete at the highest possible level to be competitive.

AFTER TRYOUTS

  • After each of the tryout dates, parents will receive a placement email within 5 days including a registration link for the team. Note: placements are NOT guaranteed.
  • Parents/Players will have 24 hours to make a decision to accept the placement offer and pay the deposit ($500 for State, National Lite, Elite, and Premier teams, $125 for seasonal teams) to hold the athletes position on the roster.
  • After the 24 hour period has passed, your offer will be void.
