How do I make a team?
All athletes will be evaluated using the rubric below. Instead of filling out a rubric for each player, we will fill out a tryout card. Potential team members are being evaluated on their overall knowledge of volleyball systems, their defensive skills, offensive skills, athletic ability, and attitude/effort. The specifics needed to make each level are listed below.
Grades are also important to us! If you have been ineligible in the past this can also affect which team you are placed on.
