  • UPON ARRIVAL, PLAYERS AND A PARENT/GUARDIAN (FOR ATHLETES UNDER 18 YEARS OLD) WILL CHECK IN TO CONFIRM THEIR ONLINE REGISTRATION. DURING CHECK-IN, PLAYERS WILL VERIFY THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION AND INDICATE THE AGE GROUP(S) THEY WISH TO TRY OUT FOR OR BE CONSIDERED FOR PLACEMENT.
  • EACH ATHLETE WILL RECEIVE A TRYOUT NUMBER AND A PERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL TRYOUT T-SHIRT AT REGISTRATION. PLAYERS SHOULD WEAR THEIR TRYOUT T-SHIRT FOR ALL TRYOUT SESSIONS TO ASSIST WITH THE EVALUATION PROCESS.
  • PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO REMAIN IN THE LOBBY AREA DURING TRYOUTS OR MAY CHOOSE TO LEAVE AND RETURN AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SESSION.
  • DAY ONE OF TRYOUTS WILL FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL SKILL EVALUATION, INCLUDING POSITION-SPECIFIC TRAINING, FUNDAMENTAL SKILL ASSESSMENT, AND OVERALL PLAYER DEVELOPMENT.
  • DAY TWO WILL EMPHASIZE TEAM DYNAMICS AND COMPETITION, FEATURING COMBINATION DRILLS, COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES, AND LIVE GAMEPLAY SITUATIONS.
  • BOTH TRYOUT SESSIONS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE EVALUATION PROCESS AND WILL BE USED TO ASSESS ATHLETES FOR PLACEMENT ON 2027 PERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL TEAMS.

WE ARE EXCITED TO WELCOME EVERYONE TO TRYOUTS AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ATHLETES SHOWCASE THEIR SKILLS, WORK ETHIC, AND PASSION FOR THE GAME AS THEY PURSUE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME PART OF THE PERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL.

how will offers for a team work?

  • EVALUATION DAYS WILL PROVIDE OUR COACHING STAFF WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE PLAYERS ACROSS MULTIPLE SESSIONS, ALLOWING FOR MORE THOROUGH EVALUATION AND APPROPRIATE TEAM PLACEMENT FOR THE 2027 SEASON. PLAYERS SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ATTEND THESE EVALUATION DATES CONSISTENTLY AND SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF RECEIVING A ROSTER POSITION OFFER DURING ANY SESSION THEY ATTEND INCLUDING JULY 6TH.
  • PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO REMAIN IN THE LOBBY DURING EVALUATION SESSIONS AND WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH MEMBERS OF THE PERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND PARENT REPRESENTATIVES TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UPCOMING SEASON.
  • BEGINNING JULY 7TH, PLAYERS AND FAMILIES SHOULD ATTEND EACH SESSION WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT A ROSTER POSITION OFFER MAY BE EXTENDED. PLAYERS WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS ANY OFFER WITH THEIR FAMILY AND SHOULD PLAN TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE THE OFFER BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE EVENING. GENERALLY THE ORDER OF OFFERS GOES AS FOLLOW; PREMIER, SELECT, REGIONAL, ACADEMY. OUR PEARLS PLAYERS DO NOT TRYOUT AND SHOULD PLAYERS TRYOUT WHO DO NOT GET SELECTED FOR A PREMIER, REGIONAL OR SELECT TEAM AT THE 14 AND UNDER LEVEL THEY WILL THEN BE GIVEN A SPOT ON A PERFORMANCE ACADEMY TEAM. 
  • PLAYERS MAY DECLINE A ROSTER POSITION OFFER IF THEY ARE NOT READY TO COMMIT; HOWEVER, THE OFFER WILL NOT BE GUARANTEED IF THEY RETURN AT A LATER EVALUATION DATE. PLAYERS WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO DECLINE AN OFFER ONCE. IF A PLAYER DECLINES A SECOND OFFER, THEY WILL NO LONGER BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL ROSTER OFFERS FROM PERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL.
  • PLAYERS MAY RECEIVE ROSTER OFFERS FROM MORE THAN ONE TEAM. HOWEVER, PERFORMANCE ELITE TEAMS WILL BE GIVEN PRIORITY IN THE TEAM SELECTION PROCESS, FOLLOWED BY PERFORMANCE SELECT TEAMS AND OTHER APPROPRIATE PROGRAM LEVELS.
  • IF YOUR PLAYER IS INTERESTED IN A DEVELOPMENTAL TEAM BUT WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A HIGHER-LEVEL TRAVEL TEAM, THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO SO. WE RECOMMEND REGISTERING FOR THE DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAM FIRST. IF YOUR ATHLETE IS OFFERED A POSITION ON A HIGHER-LEVEL TEAM, ANY DEPOSIT PAID WILL BE TRANSFERRED ACCORDINGLY.
  • PLAYERS WHO ACCEPT A ROSTER POSITION WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $400, WHICH WILL BE APPLIED TOWARD THEIR 2027 SEASON FEES. PAYMENTS WILL BE PROCESSED THROUGH LEAGUEAPPS, AND PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY THE FULL DEPOSIT AT ONE TIME.
