Tryouts are mandatory for consideration to be on a team.
We currently have freshman, C team, JV and Varsity levels of competition. Teams are typically made up of 10-15 athletes. We typically have between 90-105 athletes tryout for our program.

Session 2: Potential JV and Varsity
Coaches will tell you what session to attend after Day 1.
Placement in a session / time slot does not indicate nor guarantee placement on a specific team.
We will do a first round of cuts on Tuesday 8/12.
During tryouts, athletes will be assessed and scored on the following specific skills:
Serving
Passing
Hitting
Setting (scored for setters only)
Physical fitness tests
Coaches are also looking for volleyball IQ (court knowledge and awareness), game play, hustle, positive attitudes, communication, being coachable and discipline.
Our program traditionally contacts each athlete individually to discuss team placement. This will be done via individual email, phone or in person. We will announce times for these meetings later in tryout week.
