TRY-US-OUTS INFORMATION

Note from Coach Bryan

Did you know volleyball players peak in their 30's?

Jordan Larson was Olympic MVP at 34. April Ross won her beach volleyball gold medal at 39.

As a former late bloomer myself, I struggle with the current format of tryouts. Kids are treated very different based on their natural abilities. I feel many kids get missed by the way tryouts are currently done (not a knock on clubs themselves - the system itself is flawed, for indoor admittedly I don't have a simple solution!). Often, parents and players are locked into contracts with no ability to know the coach/team they'll be placed on.

That being said, if you or your child want to be in a program where they are provided transparency, as well as high-level development regardless of level/experience, I believe we've got what you're looking for. But any coach/director can say it - we want to show it!

Over the next few weeks, parents can observe as their kids work with the very coaches that will be coaching the Winter Season. We'll begin with some fundamental work, followed by gameplay/game-like scenarios. Players can sign-up for individual sessions, but they're welcome to participate as many times as they'd like. We cap each session at 8 kids for 15-18U and 12 kids for 11-14U, just like our practices, to ensure every athlete gets the same opportunity for growth. Spots are filled on a first-come first-serve basis.

Can't make one of the dates? Contact us, we'll either get you in a live practice during our Fall session, or customize a solo session for you.

At Progression, you don't try out for us - we try out for you.

As long as the athletes give their best effort and are respectful of their peers, we'll be happy to have them join the appropriate program should they be interested. We will accept kids until we register a 8:1 player-coach ratio for 2's, and 12:1 player-coach ratio for 4's. Once we hit capacity we will not accept any other athletes to ensure everyone gets a good amount of reps/coach's attention!

Youth sports should be about how much the program can help the athlete get out of their time and efforts, not what a kid can provide for the program. We hope to help each athlete find the best version of themselves, build confidence/resilience, and have fun while doing it. Sign up for one of our sessions and see if Progression is the right fit for you!
