Tryout Information
What else to know/bring:
- Please meet in the main gym prior to each session. During some
practices we will be working out at the track or in the weight room.
- Be EARLY.
- If you are a parent picking up a player, the pick-up time is 10-15
minutes after the session ends. This gives the players time to take
down nets, if necessary, stretch and gather their gear.
- Wear comfortable athletic attire and knee pads.
- If you have volleyball shoes, bring those as well as
running/cross-training shoes.
- Bring plenty of water and make sure you aren't coming to practice on
an empty stomach. It is hot in the gym and we will be working hard.
- If you have injuries or a medical condition, please let us know
before practice begins.
- Please come to each session with a positive attitude and be prepared
to give 100%.
