Tryout Prep: Sunday July 5, 2020.  Mark your calendars for Tryout Prep!  Ever wonder what you need to do, need to say, need to show or bring? At Tryout Prep you will have 2 hours dedicated to showing you the ropes at Tryouts. Momentum will give you the scoop on the new tryout process, the critical information you need and the skills our coaches will be looking for in the gym. Open to any and all athletes looking for that leg up! Limited space will be available, more details coming soon.

First Timers Tryout Prep: June 29, 2020. First Timers Night is designed for players who have never played on a club volleyball team before.  Are you ready to graduate from Mizuno Prep League?  Looking for more competition? This evening will explain the differences between rec and club, what to expect and answer any questions you may have about making the club into a competitive club team.

Signing Day: July 12, 2020. Players will not be allowed to sign a contract before the 12th of July at 10 am. This will allow players to try out at multiple clubs, communicate with the clubs’ staff, and, most importantly, select the club that is the right fit for them!

We will continue to communicate more information on 2020 Tryouts, Tryout Prep, and Open Gyms as the current situation allows.  Be sure to follow along at our social media outlets below to stay up to date!

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 more we are able to get to know you leading up to Tryouts.
  3. Block off Tryout Dates and keep July open. We cannot stress this enough! 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. Tryouts are held each year in July for the November through June Club Volleyball season.  Our Club teams travel across the State and Country to compete for a chance to go to the USAV Junior National Championships in July.  If club and your volleyball future is a priority, you should be here during these times.
  4. Do your research! Clubs turnover every year with new spots open every season. 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!
