Do you build teams before tryouts?
Not entirely. At Thrive, athlete evaluations happen year-round through club seasons, clinics, leagues, lessons, and tryouts. As a result, some athletes may receive early roster invitations; however, we intentionally reserve roster opportunities for new athletes who demonstrate they're a great fit during tryouts.
TOURNAMENTS
Which tournaments will you attend?
All of our teams will attend all mandatory SCSN regional tournaments. All teams will attend Las Vegas Red Rock Rave. Additional tournaments for each team can be found in the Thrive Club Packet.
PRACTICES
Where will practices be held?
Teams may be assigned to practice at Thrive Sylmar or Thrive Valencia. However, whenever feasible, we strive to assign teams to the location that best meets the needs of the team and its players.
​
How often are practices?
Teams will practice a minimum of 2 times per week with an additional 2 practices per month. Outdoor local parks may also be utilized to work on multi-sport techniques and games that double as fun and unique team bonding activities.
​
COSTS
What is the cost for one season? Are uniforms included?
Season costs can be found in our Thrive Club Packet. Uniforms costs are also included in the Club Packet.
​
What does the uniform package cover?
The uniform package covers 2 jersey tops, 1 backpack, and 1 warm up top.
​
What other costs are associated with club volleyball?
Club volleyball is very much a time and financial commitment. Extra costs include travel to/from weekend tournaments across Southern California. From Santa Clarita, venues could be 60-70 miles away or more. Local tournaments could also be 1 or 2 day events. There are tournament admission fees at most locations as well as parking fees; both can cost up to $20 per person for admission, and per car for parking. Other costs include travel and lodging when we have out-of-town or out-of-state tournaments that span 3 to 4 days. With all costs combined, a club volleyball season can cost up to, or over, $6,500 per season per athlete.
