Online Registration must be completed PRIOR to tryout

Primary Tryouts: August 3–5

Make-Up Tryouts: August 10–12

*We assume all players will attend the Primary Tryout sessions unless otherwise communicated with the coaching staff.*

Per VHSL rules, every player receives a 3-day tryout opportunity. Players are expected to attend all three days of the tryout period they participate in.

Tryout Times

8th & 9th Grade       8:00 AM – 10:30 AM

10th–12th Grade    11:30 AM – 2:00 PM

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.
