What is a Tryout?

Vipers Club Tryouts are an opportunity for athletes to be evaluated for placement on one of our competitive teams for the 2026–2027 club volleyball season.

During tryouts, coaches will evaluate athletes on:

  • Volleyball skills and fundamentals

  • Game awareness and decision-making

  • Communication and teamwork

  • Athleticism and movement

  • Effort, attitude, and coachability

  • Overall fit within the team and positional needs

Athletes may be evaluated across multiple drills, game-play situations, and positions throughout the tryout process.

Please note that attendance at a tryout does not guarantee placement on a Vipers team. Team selections will be based on the overall evaluation process, roster needs, and coaching decisions.
