- Tryout mindset preparation: as you can imagine coaches are looking for many "qualities" during tryouts. Each team is made up of multiple positions, not just 12 (or so) athletes -- we need setters, offensive players (outside, middle, rightside), and defensive athletes to complete a team roster. I am providing some helpful "tips and tricks" for athletes during tryouts. Keep in mind there is no "foolproof" formula to make a team but there is also no harm in preparation.
Teams:
-
For the Fall 2024 season we will have a C-Team, JV Team, and Varsity Team.
-
Volleyball at CHS is a cut sport, which means all who tryout may not be offered a spot on one of the above listed teams.
-
Cuts and team selection will work as follows:
-
Cuts: at the end of day-one (August 26th) coaches will decide if any athletes have not selected to move onto day-two. We will work diligently to be timely with notifying athletes shortly after tryouts (day-one) if they have been cut.
-
Team Selection: at the conclusion of tryouts (August 27th) coaches will meet to make team rosters. Athletes selected, and not selected, will be notified as promptly as possibly, following the conclusion of tryouts.
