Thanks to all of the athletes for attending our 2018 tryouts!!!

Dear Players and Parents,

We hope you are all having an enjoyable summer! Thank you for all of your support thus far. We are proud of the club we have created and our incredible athletes. We believe in taking a genuine interest in each of our athletes and helping them to be successful both on and off the court. We are looking forward to this next season and excited to build upon what we’ve started.

We have been getting lots of questions about Hive tryouts. We are aware some clubs are doing tryouts for their elite teams early (as in right now). We know that where you chose to play club volleyball is an important and sometimes difficult decision. At Hive you have our commitment that we will continue to put athletes first. We hope to create an environment that gives athletes options as to where they play volleyball. We have chosen to hold our tryouts within the traditional fall time frame.

Age Group(s)	Tryout Dates	Parent Meeting(s)
U12-U14	October 12th- 13th	October 20th
U15-U18	November 5th- 7th	November 9th and 10th
*We will hold a tentative make-up tryout on November 14th. Please note that the make-up tryout will only be held if it is determined if there are spots still available on a team.

Having tryouts in the Fall will allow us several advantages:

An athlete will be able to fully embrace their school’s season! We encourage our athletes to take the opportunity to be coached by another coach and enjoy a unique volleyball experience learning to play with different teammates. We want to have positive interactions with our community schools and create an environment that empowers athletes to succeed wherever they are playing volleyball.
Athletes will come ready to focus on club season after wrapping up their school’s season.
We want to fully invest in our athletes and in exchange expect our athletes to fully invest in their team: an equal commitment both ways. Before we would feel comfortable asking for a commitment from you, we need to be able to tell you what team you're on, who your teammates are, and who your coach will be.
We will continue to offer year-round training options for our athletes who would like to spend extra time in the gym. We will continue to promote balanced athletes who play other sports, participate in school sports and activities, play beach volleyball, and are able to spend time with their friends and families. Volleyball should be FUN!

If you are interested in trying out for a Hive team or would like more information about the Club please do not hesitate to contact us.
