Tryouts

We’re excited to announce tryouts for the 2025–2026 Flight Academy Volleyball Club Season! If you're ready to compete with the best on the Central Coast or are looking to take your game to the next level this is your chance!

A quick note on attendance:

In order for your athlete to have a fair chance to make a Travel Team, they need to be at tryouts. Unfortunately, we won’t be offering makeup sessions. As in previous years, we’ll also be offering pre-tryout clinics in the weeks before tryouts. These are intended to help players prepare, not for evaluation. Please do your best to have your athlete attend their age group’s tryout session.

TRYOUT PROCESS – WHAT TO EXPECT

During our two-hour tryout session, our amazing coaching staff will evaluate athletes based on their technical skills, effort, attitude, and ability to work as part of a team. We are looking for players who are passionate, coachable, and eager to take their game to the next level. Following the evaluations, our coaches will begin extending offers to selected athletes promptly.

As you already know, we are more than just a volleyball club, we are a family. Our program is designed to provide your athlete with the tools, training, and support they need to succeed, whether their goal is to make their high school team or pursue a college volleyball career. Over the past four years, we are proud to have helped over 35 boys and girls achieve their dreams of playing college volleyball, more than any other club on the Central Coast. Our comprehensive training program, personalized coaching, and college recruitment guidance give athletes the competitive edge they need to reach their full potential.

We understand that choosing the right volleyball program is a big decision for your family. We encourage all athletes to explore their options and attend all club tryouts that best suit their needs.

At Flight Academy, there’s no pressure, just a genuine invitation to join a program with a proven track record of success and a tight-knit community of dedicated players, coaches, and families.
