The Necessity of Tryouts

Registration meeting 2:00 p.m. Sunday, November 18, 2007 Allen Park Community Center

Limited gym space and availability of quality coaches prevent our program from accepting every athlete-candidate.  Tryouts for players in the 12s, 13s, 14s & 16s age groups are always a necessity, with two 10s teams anticipated.  Tryouts typically consist of skill testing, game-like drills and a review of athleticism, attitude and spirit.  Players (and their families) must be prepared to commit through the end of their team's season.  Attendance at practices and tournaments is not optional. 

These limitations DO NOT PERMIT players who are not chosen for elite teams to continue to practice with the program. Volleyball is the ultimate team sport and efforts must be expended on those athletes in preparation for their team's success.  Some players may be designated "alternates" whereby they will continue to practice with their team, but will not travel and compete.  This opportunity is at the discretion of the Club Director.

Tryouts vary in length, but typically are completed over the course of 2-3 weeks, as coaches can evalate the players and each team's structure.

Players may not participate in tryouts until on-line registration is completed and all forms are submitted.
