tryout information

What to expect at Tryouts

Athletes should be prepared for tryouts to last approximately 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 or decide to wait in the parks general meeting room during the tryout. 

Parent Meeting 
There will be a parent meeting during the last 15 minutes of each of the scheduled tryout blocks.  At this meeting we will discuss the season,  expectations, and answer questions. 

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. 

Uniform Sizing and Form Turn in
Dates and times will be setup at Olympia Park for uniform sizing and form turn in.  Prior to these dates forms will be emailed to all accepted athletes.  We will need at least one parent and the athlete to attend.  During this time uniform sizing will occur and forms are to be turned in.  Additionally, a deposit of $200, payable by cash or check, will be necessary to secure your athletes spot.  At that meeting we will also collect the Uniform Fee of $195, payable by cash or check.
