15s-18s tryouts: Sunday, November 10 at 9am
All tryouts will take place at H4 Sports Academy in Edina (formerly Athletic Gaines).
NEW: This year, we are excited to offer a no-cut policy for 12s-14s players, ensuring every athlete will be placed on either a club team or directed to one of our Youth Development Teams (YDT). If registration numbers are high, we may need to close registration once we reach our maximum capacity, so be sure to sign up early to secure your spot at tryouts!
Additionally, all teams—12s through 18s—will be announced on the day of tryouts to provide immediate clarity for families and players.
Important: Registration must be completed online before the tryout date. Please scroll down for more important tryout information and to register for tryouts.

Tryout Agenda
Check-in: 8:45am
​
During the check in process we will provide you with some paperwork to complete while you wait to speed along the process once teams are decided.
Tryouts begin: 9:00am
​
Parent meeting: 9:15am
The club director will have a brief parent meeting on the turf area inside H4 Sports Academy. During this meeting we will quickly explain what to need to know/do for tryouts and answer any questions. Parents will leave during tryouts, and will be instructed on when to return based on their child's age division. The earliest you will be asked to return is 11:00am. We plan to finalize all teams by 1:00pm.
​
Players should wear/bring: proper volleyball apparel (t-shirt, spandex shorts/leggings, kneepads, socks and court shoes), a labeled water bottle, and a snack or light lunch.
​
Tryout evaluation: During tryouts, our coaches will evaluate players based on skills, position, work ethic, attitude, age and more to form teams.
Since all teams will be finalized on the day of tryouts (new this year), the process may take longer. Players are encouraged to bring a snack or small meal, along with a water bottle, to stay energized throughout the day.
Paperwork and fees: Once your daughter is placed on a team, you will be required to sign binding paperwork, committing to Freeze for the 2024-2025 club season, and make a $1,000 payment toward your team fee. During the check in process we will provide you with some paperwork to complete ahead of time to speed along the process once teams are decided.
Team Practice Start Dates
All Freeze club teams will begin practices the week of November 10, 2024. You will receive an email with your specific team's practice time shortly after tryouts. While we aim to maintain a consistent practice schedule, we may need to adjust a team's regular schedule to accommodate specific situations, such as creating opportunities for teams to scrimmage against appropriate competition.
Team Fee Payments
When your daughter is placed on a team, the full team fee is required, even if she quits, misses practices or tournaments, or becomes injured. This is because your payments secure her spot on the roster and cover both team-wide expenses and her individual costs. While we understand that circumstances can change, team expenses remain constant—and can even increase as we utilize resources to find backup players and adjust rosters. $1,000.00 is due on tryout day if your daughter commits to Freeze Volleyball. Checks are preferred. A 4% convenience fee will be added to any credit card/Venmo transactions. After the initial $1,000.00 payment at tryouts, you will set up an automatic online payment plan on our website for the remainder of your team fee, Your remaining team fee will be split into 3 payments: December, January and February.
Pre-Season Meeting
As the season begins, we require at least one parent/guardian and every player to attend a pre-season meeting. Important information about the upcoming season will be covered. Details regarding the date and time will be sent out following tryouts. We look forward to seeing you there!
