1. Identify Clubs In Your Area

Depending on where you are from, you might have a number of girls clubs and boys clubs to choose from

Before trying out for a club team, determine your age division

3. Do Your Research

Club volleyball is a commitment. It is important to consider all your options, since each club offers something a little bit different.

4. Tryout, Tryout, Tryout

There are no guarantees you will be offered a spot, so it’s best try out for several programs to give yourself options

5. Accept An Offer

After being offered a spot on a team, you’ll have a set amount of time to decide whether or not you want to accept it

6. Become A Full Badger Region Member

Summer Volleyball Tryout Info & FAQ

There has been a lot of discussion regarding the Club Summer Tryouts. We want to make sure everyone has as much information as possible and what the benefits are to trying out in the summer.

Why Summer Tryouts?

Having an athlete select a club before the High School season starts alleviates pressure and allows the athlete to solely focus on their High School season.

Attending summer tryouts allows a longer break in the fall after the High School season is over before club starts.

Joining a team in the summer means knowing your tournament schedule earlier. This way you are able to plan around practices/tournaments sooner!

There is a longer timeframe for an athlete to decide if the offer they receive is the correct fit. Athletes will have until August 18th to decide, rather than the normal 3 day period.

Early recruiting! Once you accept a position on a team, athletes will have access to the PATH (Blaze’s recruiting program) along with Hudl, Sports Recruits, and University Athlete.

We are doing summer tryouts for the athletes to see what is best and will take feedback to adjust for future seasons.

FAQ

Will we be giving offers out after the summer tryout sessions?

Yes, offers will be given out shortly after summer tryouts.

Will all teams be full after the summer tryout?

No, not all teams will be full after the summer tryouts.

Are attending both tryout dates required?

No, attending both tryouts is not required, but it is highly encouraged so we have multiple chances to see you play!

Will we be hosting a fall tryout session?

Yes! We will be hosting fall tryouts to fill the remaining spots that are open

Are the tuneup camps required?

No, the tune up camps are just another great way to get touches before tryouts and completely understand if you cannot make them!

What about other clubs who aren't offering summer tryout opportunities?

We are not coordinating with them, but highly encourage you to research what club fits your needs best and to prioritize your tryout plan accordingly
