Prep Team Tryouts Prep Team Tryouts will be held on Sunday, October 11th Check-in begins at 9:30 am Tryout runs from 10 am - 12 pm (noon) NORCO Prep is the perfect opportunity for someone who loves to play volleyball, but cannot make the full commitment to Club volleyball. The emphasis of this program is on skill development and game play. This is a great program to either get a first exposure to the sport or to get better and improve on skills outside of a school team, without the full schedule of USA Volleyball. With one practice a week and three tournaments, the commitment is less for those with busy schedules. The coaching and training will still be intense so all players improve!
