Why summer tryouts?
Alleviate stress! The physical and mental stress of Fall tryouts is real. Our goal is to give athletes an opportunity to focus on their school seasons instead of worrying about club tryouts during or after the school season ends.
Tournament registration and hotel bookings will be MUCH easier! Having our teams set by the middle of August will allow us to enter into any tournament without the threat of not getting registered in time and also make booking hotels a lot easier knowing where we’ll be playing much earlier than early November.
What are the differences between summer and fall tryouts?
Basically nothing!! The only difference is that tryouts are in early August instead of late October/early November. Seasons will still begin in early November :)
What if a player is offered a spot at SC Elite but wants to try out at another club in the fall?
After summer tryouts are complete, athletes will be offered a spot on a team or put on a waitlist. If they accept, they can hold their spot with a deposit. If they decline the offer and wish to try out at other clubs in the fall, their spot WILL NOT BE HELD. It is at the club’s discretion whether to offer a waitlisted player or wait until offered players make a decision.
Do summer tryouts have the players' best interests in mind?
100% YES! If you are an athlete, think about how tired you are at the end of your school season. Most school seasons start practicing heavily in August and the season could go all the way into November. That is 4 straight months of volleyball 5 or 6 days a week! Summer tryouts give athletes an opportunity to perform their best due to being the most recovered they will be all year. Early August is when most athletes are physically and mentally at their peak after being off for most of July.
