Each year we evaluate a growing number of athletes during tryouts.  Athletes
aspiring to be part of the Buckeye Volleyball club will be assessed on their ability
to pass, set, serve and hit.  Finally, they are watched during game situations for
their intrinsic traits.

Selections are based on the following criteria:

  • Performance during game situations
  • skills demonstrated during the passing setting, serving and hitting drills
  • Competitive attitude
  • Athletic Potential
  • Athletic ability for volleyball

After tryouts, the coaching staff will meet to determine which girls will be offered a
contract with the club.   

The parents of each accepted athlete will be asked to sign the 2010 Buckeye
Volleyball Club Player Contract.  The signed contract together with the first
installment of he fees must be returned within ten days of the tryout date, or the
offer may be withdrawn.  Both the contract and/or the first payment is your
parent/athlete commitment to accept a position on a team.  Once this commitment
is made, the athlete may not play for any other USA Volleyball Junior program
during the season.
