Club Volleyball Tryouts

2023 - 2024 TRYOUTS

Tryouts for the upcoming 2023 - 2024 season will be in the fall of 2023. (14/Under will be in October and 15/Over will be in November).

Although we understand other clubs will be conducting their "first round" of tryouts in the summer, we do not feel this is best for our club, nor our athletes, at this time.  We believe in placing athletes on a team as a whole .. and we believe in the growth of an individual from the summer months until the end of their high school season. We don't want to offer (or promise) individuals a position on a team until we can evaluate the entire body of the team at tryouts.  Many of the clubs in our area that host summer tryouts also host fall tryouts, make-up tryouts, etc.  We prefer to evaluate athletes just before the club season begins ... this allows for the best version of the athlete, as well as it allows us to out whole teams together at one time.

As Excell Sports is a part of the USAV Palmetto Region of volleyball, we respect and support the primary goals and visions of this governing body of USA Volleyball (USAV) which believes and strives for:

  • the well-being of players and families
  • the support of tryouts at the conclusion of the school season
  • multi-club tryouts that include opportunities to evaluate other club options without pressure
  • a good working relationship with school programs
  • non-interference of club tryouts with school tryouts, practices or matches
  • prioritizing school sports over club sports

With the goal of allowing volleyball athletes to compete in their school volleyball programs without conflict, we will stay the course with fall tryouts for the 2023 - 2024 season.  


2023 - 2024 Excell Storm Club Volleyball Tryout Dates/Registration

Players that are registered for tryouts with Excell Sports will receive an email prior to tryouts (usually the week of tryouts) with additional details (i.e.:  times, location, important information, reminders, etc).   

Each year, there are multiple volleyball clubs holding tryouts (or their make-up tryouts for those hosting summer tryouts) during the same window of time.  We work hard to select our tryout schedule dates so that players have flexibility to be seen by multiple clubs, however, we understand there are conflicts.  Although your player will not be penalized for only being able to attend one tryout with Excell Sports, it is always best that you are seen as many times as possible for proper evaluation and placement.  We suggest you prioritize your tryouts based on your preferred club.   We ask that you notify us via email if your player is unable to attend both tryout dates.   

Once your player is registered for tryouts with Excell, you will receive a courtesy email with updates, changes and important details.

USAV Junior Player Age Definition for the 2023 - 2024 Season

Please use the chart below to assist you in determining which division your child will need to register for when registering for club volleyball tryouts for 2023 - 2024 season.   If you have a player that "plays up", they can attend tryouts for both age groups.  You only need to register once: Register for the age group they should be in based on the chart below.  


Please use this chart to determine the correct age group for your player to be evaluated in for tryouts.


IMPORTANT: How to sign up for Tryouts

It is important that all athletes participating in tryouts with Excell Sports (or any club in our Region that abide by USAV Rules/Regulations) have (or complete) the following:

STEP 1:  REGION RULES state that ALL players for this upcoming season will need to initially purchase a $15 TRYOUT membership. Even if you know the club/team you are joining, you will still need to purchase the tryout membership first and later upgrade after a commitment is made to a specific club.  Players MUST bring proof of this registration to show upon check in at tryoutsCLICK HERE FOR REGISTRATION LINK

STEP 2: Register for Tryouts with Excell Sports using the navy blue tryout link below. 

The Registration "Club Volleyball Tryouts" is not currently available.


What happens after Tryouts?

Offer Letters:  After tryouts are completed for your athletes age group, the coaches meet to compare notes and assign players to the different teams.  Your player will receive an email with an offer to join a team or program with Excell Sports.  IMPORTANT:  Not all offers are emailed at the same time so please be patient with the process.  Emailed offers will have a deadline to accept or decline.  Offers must be accepted by deadline included in offer. 

Uniform Sizing:  We allow players the opportunity to be fitted for their individual gear/uniform packages at Team Signing evening.  We do not ask that players be fitted for their uniforms at tryouts, because we feel the focus of tryouts should be to properly evaluate the player's skill level.   Uniform sizing is done after positions have been accepted and the teams come together to have team signing and team pictures.

Team Signing evening will be announced after teams are formed.
