What to Expect at Tryouts
Club Volleyball Tryouts can be a difficult process to understand. While it’s not an overly complex one, it’s important to know what you are getting yourself into and what to expect at the Team Selections. The club will present all this information at a short Parent Meeting before the start of each session.
Team Selection Procedures
We will attempt to select teams based on training/commitment Level, National 1 Elite, National 1, and Club Regional, as well as athletic ability and/or positional skill. This is important, and prospective athletes will be separated by commitment level during the process – it is important that families communicate the levels that they are comfortable with to sign a contract.
The Tryout Sessions will incorporate a dynamic warm-up, ball control exercises, individual skill/positional training, out-of-system concepts, and competitive team drills. A Tryout Committee will evaluate all prospective athletes based on their attitude, coachability, athletic ability, positional skills, and/or potential.
Team rosters will consist of 10-12 players, and we will place athletes based on similar skills and abilities. The goal is for each team to have at least 2 setters, 4 outside hitters, 3 middles, and 1 libero. Coaches may adjust these numbers based on the age level and competitive level of the team.
Accepting a Roster Position
We intend to offer and sign the majority of its athletes on the day of Team Selections – families will be expected to accept or decline their offer while at the gym. In order to secure a roster position, signed Contracts and Commitment Deposits will be due at that time. Players/families that wish to attend multiple tryouts before accepting a position with our club will not have their spot held for them once they leave the tryout.
Please be prepared to commit to an informed decision.
Once all players are committed, the club will attempt to fill all remaining roster positions immediately.
Club Volleyball Commitment Policy
A signed Payment Plan and Commitment Deposit must be submitted on Saturday to secure the roster position. Families will be given a link to set up their tuition payment plan, where payment can be made by Credit Card, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash.
Once the contract is signed, the athlete is committed to our club for the duration of the Club Season. This is a USA Volleyball policy, and players will not be eligible to tryout or practice with another club until the end of the USA Volleyball Season, which is July 5, 2026, or until they are released by the club.
Welcome to the Club!
Once all Commitment requirements are complete, athletes will need to complete Uniform and Apparel Sizing at the gym.
