Tryouts at Trinity Volleyball Club

Tryouts FAQs

My daughter has played with Trinity before. Does she have to try out?

Yes. Each year we have a large group of athletes tryout, and we evaluate players individually and how teams will work together, so we want to see all our potential athletes at tryouts.

Does being on a certain team last year mean my daughter will automatically be on that team in the next season?

Tryouts are competitive and players should not assume that they will make the same team they played for last season. We want everyone to work hard and give their best at tryouts!

How do volleyball tryouts work?

Plan to arrive 30 minutes before your tryout time for registration. You’ll fill out a player profile and receive a numbered jersey that your athlete will wear throughout the tryout to identify them to coaches.

Coaches will run a variety of drills. Athletes will be broken up by age for some, by position for others, and will work as groups for others.

How are team decisions made?

There are a large number of factors that we take into consideration when making our teams, including players technical skills, coachability, attitude, athleticism, team positional needs, and their passion for the game.

Decisions are made by a consensus of our whole group of coaches and club Director, not just the coach responsible for the respective team.

The best advice we can give you and your athlete is to work hard, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and have a positive attitude – all of this will show our coaches that they want to be a part of the Trinity team!

My daughter played on an older team at her last club. Can I request she play “up” with Trinity?

We prefer for the players to play in the age group that they qualify for, however, exceptions can be made.

For example, depending on the number of athletes that try out, we can’t guarantee that teams will be made available for all Age Groups. In order to give all qualified players an opportunity to play on a club team, we may invite a player to play “Up” an age group.

This decision will be made after tryouts have concluded.

My daughter has never played volleyball before, but wants to try out. Do you have teams for beginners?

Yes, we have a great program that introduces beginners to volleyball!

If your daughter hasn’t played before, or hasn’t played on any teams, we recommend she gets started with our Kids Academy program. This fun group has classes twice a week and scrimmages once a month and is the best way to get her ready to step up to a competitive team.
