2026 Tryout Information
Please make sure to complete your athletic packet and physical before attending summer training and tryouts. Rio Volleyball is a competitive program. Athletes who play club sometimes will not make their high school program/teams. Club programs have many teams, levels, and opportunities. High school has 3 levels and they are grade locked for the most part which limits the amount of athletes we can have in the program. Club is NOT a requirement, sometimes athletes who have potential (but no prior experience) will make a team.
