Circle City Tryout Information and Procedures

Tryouts for Circle City Volleyball Club begin in October each year and conclude in November. Teams will be picked by Thanksgiving and players will be contacted by their coaches as soon as possible. After players have been contacted and teams are set, team/age group meetings will be scheduled and practice dates will be finalized.

The tryout process for each age group will last between 3-5 dates. It is not required to be at all tryout dates but it is recommended.  Please bring to tryouts a copy of your birth certificate, shirt with school and name on it, and patience.

Tryout, open gym, and parent meeting info is posted below.

Pre-Tryout Open Gyms

Circle City Volleyball offers FREE open gyms before tryouts each year. This is a great way to get some extra reps before tryouts begin! You do not need to register or fill out any paperwork. Anyone from any school or with any club affiliation is welcome to attend. (High school players must be finished with their season to participate.)

8s-14s

2020 DATES TBD

 

 

15s-18s

2020 DATES TBD

 

All open gyms will be held at Capitol Sports Center in Plainfield. No paperwork/registration is required.

Parent Information Meetings

Looking for more information about Circle City Volleyball or just club volleyball in general? Attend one of our pre-tryout parent meetings. Ran by our club/assistant club directors, these meetings are a great way to get answers for any questions you may have. It is also a great chance to visit our facility and get a feel for what we have to offer!

2020 DATES TBD

 

All meetings will be held at Capitol Sports Center in the conference room between courts 1 and 4.

Pre-Tryout Evaluations

Interested in playing club at Circle City? This year we are hosting pre-tryout evaluations for our 15s and 16s age groups. We are fortunate to have many players interested in playing for Circle City each year which is intimidating for some. These early sessions will alleviate the stress or fear of not making a team. NO specific team placement will take place, but this will help determine if Circle is the place for you. All are welcome and the sessions are completely free!

2020 DATES TBD

 

You must pre-register to attend. Email Lance Keating at lkeating@capitolsportscenter.com to secure your spot.
