Welcome to Meet U @ The Net, the perfect beach volleyball community for players seeking a dynamic and inclusive intermediate-level experience! Our league is committed to providing a fun and competitive environment for all our athletes. To ensure fair and balanced competition throughout the season, we have designed a comprehensive tryout and team placement process. Below, we outline the steps involved in this process.
Tryouts and Team Placement Process
1. Tryout Week (Week 1):
The first week of our 8-week season is dedicated to tryouts. During this time, participants who have registered for the league will come together to showcase their volleyball skills. Free agents will be placed in teams with random teammates, and our experienced referees will carefully observe each match to assess players’ abilities and strengths.
2. Skill Assessment:
Our referees will evaluate various aspects of gameplay, including but not limited to serving, passing, setting, hitting, blocking, and overall court awareness. Each player’s performance will be noted, and their skill level will be assessed based on their proficiency in these fundamental aspects of beach volleyball.
3. Team Formation:
Following the tryout week, free agents will be grouped into teams that share similar skill levels. Our aim is to create well-balanced teams to ensure competitive matches throughout the season. Players with higher skill levels will be paired with teammates of comparable ability, while those newer to the game or at an earlier intermediate level will be grouped together accordingly. Teammates who sign up as a group will stay together. Note: In the rare case that a player does not meet the minimum expectations for the league, they may not be placed on a team. These players will receive a refund of their registration fee, minus a $10 spot fee.
4. Bracket Placement:
Once teams and divisions are formed, they will be placed in brackets alongside other teams of similar skill levels. This bracketing system ensures that each team competes against opponents who are at a comparable stage of their volleyball journey. This approach promotes fair competition, growth, and skill development for all participants.
