TRYOUTS: Previous playing experience is required as we do not coach basic fundamentals at this age.
Serving: Overhand is not required but will be asked to show us both underhand and overhand serving capabilities.
Form: Player form will be evaluated while playing in a scrimmage game and drills.
Athleticism: All players must show their drive and desire to hustle on the court as we expect all players to move on the court during all practices and games.
Being coachable: All players will be evaluated on their ability to follow instructions/directions by coaches during tryouts.
