Tryouts

If your athlete is unable to attend tryouts, please email tryouts@synergyforcevbc.com.

Clinics - Clinics are designed to allow the athletes to get a high volume of reps and prepare for tryouts. These clinics provide an opportunity for the athletes to fine-tune their skills and prepare for the fast-paced design of tryouts.

Evaluations - The last few clinics before tryouts are called evaluations. The majority of the coaches that will be coaching that age group attend their age specific evaluations. This gives the coaches ample opportunity to see the athletes in many different skills and drills. It also gives the athletes the opportunity to interact with their age-specific coaching staff.

Tryouts - This is when all of the athletes that wish to play on a team for the program are run through drills and game-like play for the duration of the tryout time. The coaches for those teams, as well as many of our elite coaches, evaluate all of the athletes. Through the duration of the tryout time, the teams are formed and athletes are offered spots on those teams. If your athlete is not selected for a team during this tryout time, there are other options available. They can try out for another program, for example, if your daughter is not selected for a power team, we encourage them to return for premier tryouts. We will also be offering other opportunities such as in-house tournaments and juniors programs. There is more information on these programs available at the front desk during tryouts.

It is important that an athlete tryout for the program that is the best fit for both the family and the athlete’s skill level. Our goal is to have every athlete play on a team where they thrive. Not every athlete will make the team that they “want” to make, and that is ok. The important thing is that the athlete competes at their level, sees court time during tournaments, builds friendships, grows as an athlete and a teammate, and has FUN. If you are unsure where your athlete would succeed in all of these areas, please feel free to find a coach for that age group and ask for their direction. All of our coaches are happy to have this discussion and assist in guiding your athlete towards the appropriate program.
