Tryout Criteria:  Athletes are evaluated based on their skills, fundamentals, teamwork, communication, attitude, discipline, leadership, positions, and other skills and attributes. All of these factors will be taken into consideration in the placement decisions.  

Tryout Guidelines for Current ST7 Members: ST7 reserves the right to refuse tryout registration to any athletes with poor discipline, attendance records, or conduct detrimental to the team. Tryout registration may also be refused for athletes or parents/legal guardians who have demonstrated disharmony regarding the purpose, objectives, standards, policies, rules, or regulations of the club. In addition, athletes will not be allowed to register for tryouts until all financial obligations for the athlete or any immediate family member of the athlete are brought current. Any athlete who left a previous season without completing their financial obligations or the financial obligations of an immediate family member will have to pay any outstanding balance and pay at least half of the upcoming club season’s fees in order to be re-signed.

Tryout Fee: Payment of the tryout fee does not guarantee placement on a club team and is non-refundable. Register by June 30, 2023 to pay the reduced tryout fee of $50. Beginning July 1st, the tryout fee will be $75. 

Team Placement: ST7 will post the names of the athletes who were placed on an ST7 club team on our website www.st7volleyball.com on July 20th. Athletes and parents must visit the website to verify if their athlete was placed. 

Athlete Commitment Requirements: If placed, an athlete must confirm their commitment to the season within 24 hours by reading the ST7 Parent/Athlete Handbook and signing the letter of commitment. If we do not receive the signed letter of commitment within 24 hours of placement, we will assume you are not committing and may offer your position to another athlete. If your athlete is placed but you choose to not commit to the season, please email us at st7volleyball@gmail.com.

First Payment: The first payment of $550 must be paid by Saturday, July 22. This commitment payment will cover the cost of the athlete's uniform package. An electronic Quickbooks invoice will be sent by email on July 21st. Payment may be made by bank transfer or credit card. *If using a credit card there is a service fee of $18 for this payment.

Committed Athletes: On Sunday, July 23, ST7 will publish the list of committed athletes. A committed athlete is defined as an athlete who has completed signing their letter of commitment by July 21st and paid their commitment fee by July 22nd. Once committed, athletes will need to attend a uniform sizing, provide further documents, and join AAU and USAV. Further details for these steps will be provided.
