The tryout process for club volleyball is like no other. With the changes made to the tryout date options by Badger Region last year, clubs are trying different options to try to make a better experience for players, families, and coaches.
Most local teams are having summer tryouts. While this can be difficult with summer plans, the tryout window is significantly longer than the previous one weekend in fall. Clubs can host tryouts as early as July 19th! Locally, the clubs are mostly holding tryouts at different times, allowing players to rest between tryouts. In the past, there was a short time for players to determine if they wanted to accept an offer with a club - with the current rules, NO club can require a player decision to accept an offer until August 1st at 7:00 PM.
Heat's Plan for summer tryouts: Coaches will be attending summer tryouts with the goal of filling their roster positions during summer. Players will be given positions on specific teams so they can determine if it is the right fit for them as a player. Based on numbers, talent, and timeline before school season starts, coaches may have some roster spots remaining until fall. In this event, fall try outs will be held to fill those positions. Any player who attended summer tryouts and did NOT get a position will be invited to return at no cost (as long as they have their tryout shirt from summer).
