What to expect at tryouts
Upon arrival you will be assigned a tryout number and have your picture taken. We will then measure height, reach, and vertical measurements. Then each athlete will complete a 5-10-5 shuttle.
Athletes will then be run through multiple drills to be evaluated on passing, serving, hitting, and blocking skills.
Lastly, athletes will be evaluated during game play. Athletes may be asked to try different positions and/or move to other courts as we assess all aspects of skill and athleticism.
Team assignment and tryout results will be sent via the email address you used to register for tryouts. Please be sure you have not unsubscribed to our emails. Lack of response will be taken as a denial of your spot. (Resubscribe Tutorial)
Athletes accept their spot by signing a player contract and paying a deposit by the deadline explained in your offer email. Failure to register and pay your deposit will result in offering your placement to another athlete.
*We have chosen to have a closed tryout. We have found it is very challenging for our staff to complete thorough evaluations when being interrupted by well-meaning parents with concerns or questions about their child's current performance or placement on the court. We welcome any parents that would like to enter the facility and ask questions after the completion of the tryout, but parents may not remain in the facility or approach coaches or admin staff once tryouts begin.

FUNDRAISERS
We conduct 2 fundraisers per season to assist in dues and/or to help cover tournaments above and beyond what is scheduled.
Serve-A-Thon: by collecting pledges from neighbors and family/friends of any amount per serve your athlete can collect quite a chunk of change! Ex: Will asks a neighbor to pledge .10 and another neighbor pledges .25 per serve she can serve over the net and in, out of 100. On the day of the Serve-A-Thon he serves over 80 out of 100. His one neighbor would then give him $8 and the other would do $20. Some of our girl athletes have been able to make upwards of $800 in the past! *details to come!
Sponsorship: Each athlete is welcome to find a sponsor. Sponsorships are any amount and all $ goes directly toward the athletes dues. The company sponsoring will get their logo listed on our website as a sponsor. https://vortexvolleyballutah.leagueapps.com/store
“Our daughters love being part of Club Vortex. The coaches are beyond helpful when it comes to individual and team development. What we as parents value more is the coaches dedication to ensuring our daughters are not just successful on the court but off the court as well. Their confidence has grown tremendously in just a few short months which benefits them as teammates, students, and people!! You would be hard pressed to find a club that has so much passion when it comes to working with kids/teens”. - Tawnya
