Tryouts will consist of two sessions. (BOTH ARE MANDATORY) Session 1 (8/1) will involve evaluations in the skills of serving, passing, setting, hitting, defense and team play. You can see all of the skill sets and scoring process on the evaluation form. In addition players will be evaluated on athletic ability, agility, coordination and attitude. After session 1 individual meetings with the coach will provide an overview of the scores and recommendations. Players will be given their evaluation forms and told whether they:

A) Have achieved a varsity or JV position

B) Will need to come back to session 2 (8/2) for further evaluation

C) Have secured a position but are on the "bubble" for JV or Varsity

D) Have not made either team with recommendations for improvement or other opportunities

​

****ALL PLAYERS WHO ARE ACCEPTED MUST STILL ATTEND SESSION 2 OF TRYOUTS****

​

Coaches will not discuss results or evaluations with parents. A lot of time, thought, and consideration has gone into the decisions about every player and their skill, age, experience and chemistry for the Walton HS Volleyball program. It is NEVER an easy or enjoyable experience to cut players. It is not personal, but involves planning for the season and building a successful program.

​

There are opportunities for those who do not make the team to be involved in our program through becoming managers, team photographer/SM campaign manager, and trainers.
