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.
Skill/Competition Evaluation: The other part of
tryouts will be a comprehensive evaluation of how well the
prospective athlete is able to demonstrate their understanding
of the drills in a competitive situation. Prospective players
should also be showing their level of competitiveness. Coaches
will begin to evaluate players based on potential team positions
(setter, middle blocker, etc), but of course those positions
will ultimately be decided once team practice begins. Again,
we're looking for athletes that have a great attitude, are
willing to learn, are committed and are willing to give 110% all
of the time...
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

CLUB.
