* The coaching staff will be looking for coachable athletes who have a great work ethic and want to learn and be better players and teammates. Team selections are based not only on skill, but attitude, effort, and energy play a big part in placement as well.
* We will NOT be conducting a 'make-up' tryout for those who are unable to attend all or part of our tryouts. Missing a day (or more) of tryouts will affect your team placement. Each day is an opportunity to be evaluated and an important piece of team placement.

What happens after tryouts?
If you make a team...
Congratulations, and Welcome to Rebel Volleyball! Team practice will begin the day after tryouts, and will be held Monday through Friday. Matches begin in late August, and will continue through October. Matches are typically played on Tuesday and Thursday. On nights we do not have a match, teams will have practice. Mixed in with practice and matches, each team will have a tournament on Saturday. Varsity has several Saturday tournaments - be sure to check the CALENDAR for updated information on all tournaments (JV & Var participate in a tournament over Fall Break - if you make one of these teams, you are required to be in attendance at the tournament).
​
If you did not make a team...
Team selections are a stressful process for athletes and coaches. We will have individual conversations with every athlete at tryouts and will explain why they didn't make a team this season. If you would like to have a more detailed conversation with the coach, please reach out via email to schedule a meeting. Please allow at least 24-hours after tryouts for us to respond.
​
Team manager positions are available if you would still like to be part of Rebel Volleyball. A team manger is part of the team and is expected to attend all practices, matches, and team events as scheduled. She will help the coach and team with drills, taking stats at matches, supporting the program, etc. If you think this is a good fit, please reach out to Coach Shelly to discuss being a Team Manager.
​
If a team manager isn't for you, Columbine offers other sports and activities. Check out the Athletics page for additional opportunities.
