​UPDATED 2024 NEWSOME VOLLEYBALL TRYOUT INFORMATION

Tryouts will be conducted in the gym beginning July 30th.
Each day's session times are 6pm-9pm.

Tuesday & Wednesday sessions will test athletic ability & various volleyball skills (with some instruction to evaluate coachability).  Attitude is always observed.  First round of cuts will be posted by player number on the website no later than 10pm on Wednesday.

Thursday & Friday will focus more on volleyball skills, attitude, and teamwork.  Final team rosters will be posted by player number on the website no later than 10:30pm on Friday.  The assignment to Reserve and Varsity teams will be indicated at that time.

The final teams (with the unlikely possibility of a few held over for further evaluation) will meet for the first team practice on Monday, August 5th from 6pm-9pm.

Selected players and their parents are expected to attend a meeting with the coaches after this first day of team practice at 9:15pm.

As has been the case for several years now, athletic packets must be submitted electronically and approved by the Athletic Director well in advance of participating in tryouts.

See step-by-step instructions for preparing, uploading, and submitting student-athlete clearance can be found by visiting newsome.rocks/forms prior to the first day of tryouts.

Packets must be approved by the Athletic Director prior to participation, so the earlier you submit your packet – the less likely you are to have your tryout attempt postponed.

Any athlete wishing to tryout that misses the regular tryout week may request the minimum of two days of tryouts by contacting the coach.

Athletes are reminded to bring and wear proper clothing (including knee pads, ankle supports, etc.). 

No jewelry should be worn.

Cellphones should NOT be used while inside the gym and should stay inside your bag until you’ve exited. This is observable and coaches will record their observations concerning phones.

Athletes should be well hydrated before & during tryouts and are expected to bring their own water (although a refill station and water fountain are available).
