2022-2023 Club Volleyball Tryouts

2022 - 2023 TRYOUTS

Tryouts for the upcoming 2022 - 2023 season will be in the fall of 2022. (14/Under will be in October and 15/Over will be in November).

Although we understand a few other clubs will be conducting tryouts in the summer, we do not feel this is best for our club, nor our athletes, at this 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 2022 - 2023 season.  

Additionally, we will continue discussions with other USAV Directors of clubs in our area (as well as with the USAV Palmetto Region BOD and high school communities)  to continuously evaluate the desires and benefits to/drawbacks of any future changes to the timing of club volleyball tryouts.


2022 - 2023 Excell Storm Club Volleyball Tryout Dates/Registration

Registration for the 2022 - 2023 Club Volleyball Season is open.  Players that are registered for tryouts will receive an email prior to tryouts with additional detail (times, location, important information, reminders, etc).   

Each year, there are multiple volleyball clubs holding 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.  Additionally, we will host a make-up tryout but it is by appointment only.  Please also email us if you plan to attend the make-up tryout offered. 

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

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. 


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.
