Volleyball Tryout Location Update
Volleyball tryouts will continue as scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the originally assigned times. Due to the ongoing Washington-Liberty gym floor project, tryouts will be held at Yorktown High School.
We are grateful to the Yorktown athletics department for allowing our program to use their facility and helping us ensure tryouts can proceed as planned.
Additional information regarding arrival procedures, entrances, and facility logistics was shared with families this morning (8/1) through ParentSquare. Please refer to that communication for the most up-to-date details.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we navigate this temporary adjustment. We appreciate everyone’s support as we begin the 2026 volleyball season!
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Team Selection
On the final day of tryouts (August 5), the last 45 minutes of each session will be reserved for team selection conversations between players and coaches. During this time, players will find out:
-If they earned a roster spot
-Which team they are being invited to join
-Next steps for the season
**Commitment Expectations**
Please carefully consider all practice times, game schedules, and team responsibilities before accepting a position on the team. Volleyball is a team commitment, and consistent attendance matters to both coaches and teammates.
If you anticipate frequent absences due to other obligations during the season, we ask that you thoughtfully consider the impact this may have on your teammates and on other players hoping to earn a roster spot. Our goal is to build teams that can depend on one another throughout the entire season.
