Tryouts

Join Our Family!

Thank you for everyone who helped make our Tryouts a huge success this year and thank you to all of the players who came out!!
Congrats to our Signees and Welcome to Momentum!
Come join the Momentum Family!

The tryout process can be new, stressful, uncertain, confusing and exciting! Here’s how to break down that barrier and make sure you are in a great place for your journey in volleyball and in life.

  1.  Momentum Volleyball Club is a unique place. The typical Momentum athlete is not only focused on improving their volleyball skills but is prepared to attack life with balance in every facet. With our top notch coaching staff, our Elite Speed Sports Performance staff and our Recruiting Advisor, we are here to build the ultimate athlete that will strive for their potential as an individual AND athlete. 
  2. Get in the gym! The best way to become a part of Momentum is to get on the court via open gyms, lessons, clinics, camps or with Elite Speed. Introduce yourself to our Club Director and our team of coaches. The more we see you around, the better the connection will be come Tryouts. 
  3. Block off Tryout Dates and keep July open. Each year we have players and families missing these crucial dates. Our competitive club and region rules put July in the forefront to set up the long club season. Like in life, there are sacrifices you have to make. If the club and your volleyball future is a priority, you should be here during these times. If life gives you a chance meeting with the President or a science camp at MIT… We get that too. Balance and priorities, even for a young adult!
  4. Do your research! Clubs turnover every year with new spots open every season. At Momentum, we look to promote our own players while finding other athletes in the region crushing it on their own.   Momentum has experienced growth in all of its teams and continues to enjoy success in each age division.

We want to get to know you and we want you to get to know us! We want to work with you, see you play with our existing athletes, give you an opportunity to understand what Momentum is about, and most importantly give you an opportunity to provide the Momentum coaches as much information about YOU as possible. Our athletes train hard, they play hard, and they have fun!
