EQUAL OPPORTNITY TRYOUTS
Each player, whether they are new or a returning player, is required to attend tryouts each year in order to secure a place on a team. All players will be given an equal opportunity to prove themselves during the tryout process. Players should never assume because they were on a team one year that they will automatically be on the exact same team the next year.

TRYOUT AND SELECTION PROCESS
Here is the tryout and selection process we will use to determine teams for the upcoming season.
Players register for the appropriate tryout based on team type (regional or zonal) and age level.
Regional - will attend Carolina Regional tournaments in NC
Zonal - will attend Carolina Regional tournaments in NC as well as 4-5 National tournaments (NC, SC, VA, TN, etc.)
Players should register at the highest age level that they desire to play. If a player does not make a team at this level, they will automatically be considered for the next level down, and so on.
Players must attend at least one of the tryout sessions for the age groups they are registered. It is beneficial to the player, if the player can attend multiple tryouts.
There is a one-time $30 try-out fee that must be paid in cash, check and Venmo only. This is a non-refundable fee.
Parents are welcome to escort their player in for the check-in process but will not be allowed to remain in the facility during the actual tryout.
Coaches will evaluate players based on basic volleyball skills, team play ability, and overall attitude. Each player will receive an individual score for each component.
At the conclusion of the tryouts, the scores will be combined and sent to the selection committee.
The selection committee will use scores, position availability, and overall play to place players on the appropriate team.
Players will be emailed on team placement or on being put on a waitlist. Teams will be posted on our website after the email offer is sent. Players must let us know within 72 hours of the offer if they are choosing to play or not.
If players have not committed by the above deadline, their spot will be forfeit and will be given to the next person on the waiting list.
There will be a signing event for each age group.
Player / parent contract will be signed ( you must include a copy of birth certificate)

Uniform fee must be paid in full at this event
