Tryout Details
Understanding the Tryout Process
Our tryout process is meticulously designed to identify and select players who demonstrate the potential and skills necessary to contribute positively to our team. These tryouts, structured around comprehensive drills and team play, play a pivotal role in our team formation strategy. We divide the tryouts by age group, ensuring each participant receives ample time on the court for a thorough evaluation.
Tryout Dates
Our tryouts are scheduled for August, in preparation for the November-April season, and will take place in the Visitation Catholic School gymnasium. We will announce specific dates and times in July on both our Facebook page and website.
What to Bring to Tryouts
To ensure a smooth and effective tryout experience, players must arrive in athletic attire. Essential items include:
- Athletic wear such as spandex, shorts, leggings, t-shirts, or tank tops
- Knee pads
- Volleyball-appropriate footwear (volleyball shoes, gym shoes, or tennis shoes)
