​

Understanding acceptance to a team
After tryouts are complete the coaches will send an email to all participants identifying the assigned number of the athletes that made the team.  The email will also identify the next steps in the athlete committing to the team.  Emails will be sent on the evening of the Tryout date. 

​​

What to expect at Tryouts

Athletes should be prepared for tryouts to last approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.  Each athlete will be assigned a number at their tryout.  The athletes will work through individual serving, passing, hitting, and setting drills.  They will also work and be evaluated through team play.  

 

Parents are responsible for making sure that their athlete is checked in, paperwork is completed and tryout fees are paid.  The tryout facility does not have a viewing area. Parents can drop off their children.  If you plan on waiting for your child it must be outside the facility. 

Either Register online or Walk-in for Tryouts
