Note: COME IN FULL VOLLEYBALL GEAR READY TO PLAY AND ARRIVE AT LEAST 15 TO 30 MIN EARLY TO GET CHECKED IN

WHAT TO EXPECT AT TRYOUTS:

Expect to work hard!  Players will be asked to perform all physical testing and drills at full speed, as well as running when shagging balls, moving from drill to drill, and during water breaks.  Walking and/or sitting down will not be excepted during practice.  Please bring a good attitude with you to the gym!

Athletic Testing: All prospective athletes will be put through a series of physical testing including (but not limited to) height, standing reach, vertical jump (approach and block jump), weighted ball chest pass, sprints, and pro-agility test, etc.

Attitude Evaluation:  The first part of the tryouts will be designed to incorporate camp-like instruction and feedback where the coaching staff will be explaining in detail each skill and technique.  All prospective athletes will be evaluated on their "coachability" (taking what the coach says and implementing it), as well as their basic comprehension of each skill.  Coaches will be looking at players that are willing to make mistakes in order to correctly learn the skill and the Kaboom Volleyball system.  Players that demonstrate a substandard attitude or work ethic during this part of tryouts will be cut immediately.

ALSO AS IN YEARS PAST, INVITATIONS TO JOIN KABOOM MAY ALSO BE GIVEN OUT AT CAMPS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER BUT YOU WILL STILL BE REQUIRED TO ATTEND TRYOUTS TO COMPLETE YOUR UNIFORM SIZING AND REGISTRATION WITH THE CLUB.
