Tryouts

Join Our Family!

Come join the Momentum Family!

The tryout process can be new, stressful, uncertain, confusing, exciting and a little bit of a yikes! 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 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, our PERC Sports Psychologists, our Recruiting Advisor, and our Four Athletes partnership, we are here to build the ultimate athlete that will strive for their potential as an individual AND athlete. Join us and become a COMPLETE 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 in with Elite Speed to meet our coaches and players. Introduce yourself to our club director, coaching director, and the coaches. The more you are familiar with us, the better the connection will be when the tryout process starts in July.
  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. We know with our players in the program and new additions, we can be competitive each year.

Momentum has experienced growth in all of its teams and continues to enjoy success in each age division. All of our teams have improved and climbed in the rankings in each of their divisions. Our athlete’s train hard, they play hard, and they have fun!

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.
