Use this guide to create a more organized, active, and defensible tryout process without starting from a blank page.
What the guide helps you do
Tryouts are one of the hardest things to plan well because coaches have to balance a lot at once:
- giving athletes enough chances to show what they can do
- keeping the gym active and organized
- evaluating consistently
- making decisions you can explain
- communicating clearly with players and families
- managing limited time, space, and staff help
This guide gives you a practical planning structure so you can think through the major decisions before athletes walk into the gym.
Inside the guide
The Volleyball Tryout Planning Guide will help you work through:
- tryout goals and selection priorities
- gym organization and evaluation flow
- large-number tryout challenges
- drill and activity selection
- evaluation notes and decision-making
- communication before and after tryouts
- next steps for building a fuller tryout system
It is not meant to make the decisions for you. It is meant to help you make those decisions more clearly.
Need the full tryout system?
The guide gives you the planning framework.
If you want the ready-to-use pieces that go with that framework, the Volleyball Tryout Toolkit includes plans, evaluation sheets, drill cards, large-number setups, and communication templates you can adapt for your own school or club tryouts.
