 "How skilled you are as a high school player will have little to do with future success in life unless you can also learn to be a great teammate." - Bruce Brown, Proactive Coaching

KHS VOLLEYBALL TRYOUT SCHEDULE & TIPS
Tryouts for all three teams (Varsity, Junior Varsity, Freshman) of the Kamiak volleybal program will be held starting MONDAY, AUGUST 26. Prospective players MUST be cleared before stepping foot in the gym.
Monday 8/26: 2:30 to 5:30pm
Tuesday 8/27: 1:00 to 4:00pm
Wednesday 8/28: 2:30 to 5:30pm (cuts made at session's end)
TIPS FOR TRYOUTS:
1) Each player should attend tryouts with the mentality that their spot must be earned in the EIGHT-HOUR TRYOUT WINDOW. For many this may be the first time that coaches have seen them play, while others who have participated in the program for years are not necessarily guaranteed a spot.
2) In general each team carries 12 players, and our coaches are not usually comfortable carrying more than that. Coaches are looking to fill a roster with an appropriate number of players per position; depending on talent present at tryouts, it is a coach's discretion to keep a smaller team.
3) Physical health / condition is always a major factor at tryouts, therefore, all prospective players should begin some sort of conditioning program leading to tryouts. All players will be evaluated on general fitness at tryouts (e.g., jump/reach, agility drills, timed sprints) and should be prepared to sustain extended periods of play throughout the tryout period.
4) Another major factor at tryouts will be a player's sport knowledge & coachability. Coaches are equipped/trained to teach skill, so players are expected to show up open-minded & ready to work. The position that one may have played previously may not be the position that she is selected to play.
**GOOD LUCK, and WE'LL SEE YOU IN THE GYM!**
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR CONDITIONING
Tryouts are a chance for players to show off their physical ability & volleyball skills in about EIGHT HOURS. As the summer open gyms come to a close, players should still continue to work hard leading to tryouts. Coaches expect players to attend tryouts in good physical shape, so it's never too late to start a conditioning program. A good volleyball conditioning program consists of aerobic exercise, plyometrics, agility drills & strength training (and similar drills will be utilized at tryouts). Here is a simple conditioning program for our players, so NO EXCUSES!

DON'T FORGET TO GET CLEARED BEFORE TRYOUTS
Please be sure to take care of your athletic clearance BEFORE the first day of tryouts. The Athletic Office will not be open on Monday (8/26), so players should preare to get cleared (including the purchase of an ASB card) during their registration day. All paperwork can be found at the KHS Athletic Office Website. Once you are cleared, you will receive the yellow copy of the verification form; please bring that to tryouts, just in case!
