[quote=Anonymous]My kid played 9th grade. Excellent athlete with no real VB experience. The "tryouts" were a bit of a joke, it mostly seemed designed to scare tire kickers away. And there were MANY. It was a rough first day of PE class, lot of running, burpees, squats, all kinds of stuff they never did once during the season after tryouts.. But it whittled down the crowd probably 50% voluntarily on day 2. Those that made the freshman team (it seemed to me) were the tall ones, the very few with VB exp, (but not JV/Varsity talent), and the athletes who were unfazed by the gym class stuff. So, my suggestion is either be tall, have some experience, or be a serious athlete from another sport and dominate the try out hoo-ha. If you are thinking you can roll off the couch and get on the team without one or both of fitness and skill(experience) good luck. Unless you're 5'9"+, then you might be a lock if you just survive day 1.[/quote]
