​

JV Team: players will be selected based on their potential to develop into Varsity-level players - including, but not limited to, skill proficiency, ability to be a team player, attitude, work ethic, and coachability.

 

Varsity Team: players will be selected based on skill proficiency, volleyball IQ, versatility, ability to be a team player, attitude, work ethic, coachability, and team dynamics.

​

All incoming Freshmen will have a separate tryout during the dates mentioned above. There is no conditioning testing at these Freshmen tryouts.

The first round of cuts will be made after Saturday's tryout. We will post on our website player's numbers for those players who are invited back to continue the tryout process the following Monday. The last round of cuts will be on Monday (using the same online method) and if a player makes the program, she will be informed of which team she is on (either Freshmen, JV, or Varsity) when rosters are posted online at the end of the final tryout on Monday.
