Team Tryouts

volleyball tryouts flyer

Volleyball tryouts will be held August 13 & 14 in the main gym from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.

Must Haves! 

✅ Current Physical

✅ Aktivate Approval 

  • Ensure you are cleared and ready to play!
  • You should register in Aktivate prior to August 13 to ensure review and approval prior to tryouts.

✅ 2.0 GPA (with the exception of rising 9th graders)

✅ Positive Attitude 😀

✅ Kneepads, Athletic Wear, Shoes and Water* 

*Additional notes

Students should not get any new ear, nose or eyebrow piercings for which jewelry cannot be removed or replaced for athletic practices and games by August 13th. Only small studs are allowed.

All athletes must be registered and approved in Aktivate in order to participate in tryouts and practices. NO EXCEPTIONS. Please try to have this complete before August 10th, so our athletic director has time to review all records to approve athletes and coaches have time to review our lists and prepare for tryouts.
Please be prepared for practice in hot temperatures. Spend time exercising outside, gradually increasing your time as you get closer to August 13th. Spend time stretching (static stretches | dynamic stretches), doing strength training, mobility exercies, and core exercises to help avoid injuries. Most of these exercises don't require any special equipment and can be done at home or outside. For anything that does require equipment you can find ways to modify it by mimicking the motion with dumbbells. Jumping rope is also a great way to build stamina, strengthen ankles, and increase jumping ability.

Mission

Our mission as an MPSSAA approved athletic program is to develop students as scholar athletes who respect the game, their teammates, their coaches and their opponents. We strive to create an atmosphere of positivity to allow our athletes to be risk-takers, as many athletes' first introduction to the sport competitively is their freshmen year.

About the Program

Our junior varsity and varsity girls volleyball teams compete in the fall sports season. The fall season official start date is the 6th Wednesday following the first Sunday of July. The season concludes the last week in October and then the team competes in the MPSSAA State Tournament. 

Our varsity team has consistently placed in the top few teams of the 1A/2A/3A division in Prince George's County. Athletes are encouraged to participate in out of season open gyms, clinics, and camps to gain experience and improve endurance.

There will be some pre-season open gym/conditioning opportunities in the summer months. The dates are to be determined. To stay informed about pre-season and events during the season please join our Remind group. All athletes must be cleared  by our Athletic Director in Aktivate prior to participating in tryouts.  NO EXCEPTIONS

Required Registration Process for Sports

All high school student athletes must register and be approved to participate in athletics by the school's athletic director each school year.

Volleyball Camps

This is a list of local volleyball clubs and university programs which offer volleyball camps.  If the link does not work it is because they have changed the camps page location. Simply go to their main page or do a Google search to find current information. They don't always send it to be updated on here.
