TRYOUT INFORMATION
The Washburn Rural Middle School volleyball program is designed to allow the coaches to work with all athletes at their appropriate skill level, thus providing an opportunity for all athletes to participate and be successful. The volleyball program will consist of two interscholastic teams (A and B) for each grade level. An intramural program will also be available for girls not selected for the interscholastic team (Click on the Intramural tab for more info).
Coaches look for many qualities during the tryout period: coachability, attitude, teamwork, hustle, ball control, overhand serving, etc. In addition to the coaches, we will have other evaluators (previous coaches and teachers with a volleyball background) to help out during tryouts.

2022-23 SEASON:
REMEMBER: Physicals for all fall sports are due by August 5th to the WRMS office! You will not be able to participate in try-outs if it is not turned in before that date.
In order to reduce the number of athletes in the gym at one time, we will hold try-outs in two groups according to the athlete’s last name. This will allow coaches to get a better look at each athlete during the assessment period. Both 7th & 8th Grade will have a preliminary selection of athletes and then a final selection of teams will be made after the conclusion of the last day of try-outs. Try-outs will be closed to all parents/spectators.
Sign-up for try-outs below! Please follow the schedule below according to your grade level & LAST name.
At ALL try-out practices, wear the following attire: t-shirt with last name on the back in 3-inch-high letters (black magic marker is fine), athletic shorts, tennis shoes, bring a water bottle with your name clearly marked, and remove all jewelry.
