General info

What to expect at a Spirit tryout

Arrive ready to move: court shoes, kneepads, water, hair up.
Stations cover serve, pass, set, attack, and defense. Coaches also watch how you compete when a drill gets messy.
Most teams carry 8–10 athletes. That is a small gym on purpose.
Placement is by the tryout in front of us, not by a school name or a previous season.

Venue

Fun City Courts

Tryouts are held at Fun City Courts, 3001 Winegard Dr, Burlington, IA 52601.

How it works

Tryout, placement, season

1. Tryout

Athletes attend the published tryout for their age group.

2. Placement

Coaches build teams by age group and level. Families hear from the club after evaluations — not during the last drill.

3. Season

Accepted families get the practice rhythm, tournament plan, and paperwork. USA Volleyball membership and SafeSport rules apply to the adults in the program.
