What is the

The Mass Patriots Volleyball Club Playdate is an opportunity for talented girls'
high school volleyball players to display their skills and athleticism for
prospective college coaches.
When is it?
The tryout for the Playdate will take place on Sunday, November 25th, 2007 from
12:00 Noon to 6:00 p.m. at North Quincy High School, North Quincy, MA. The
actual Playdate will take place on Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 from 1:00 p.m. to
5:00 p.m. at North Quincy High School. HOWEVER, PLAYERS SHOULD ARRIVE AT THE GYM
NO LATER THAN 12:00 PM ON DECEMBER 2nd SO THAT EVERYTHING CAN BE SET UP PRIOR TO
THE 1:00 PM START TIME.
Who is eligible
to tryout?
The Playdate is geared towards high school seniors and juniors who plan to play
collegiate volleyball. Talented sophomore and freshman players are also
encouraged to tryout.
How does it
work?
On Sunday, November 25th, the players will be put through a battery of
physical drills and skill tests and will be ranked based on their abilities.
These ranks will be totaled and the 72 top scorers and additional 6-12 libero
players overall will be invited to
attend the Playdate on Sunday, December 2nd. These players will return to North
Quincy High School on December 2nd and will receive a t-shirt with a number on
it that will correspond to the number of their resume in the college coaches
book. The college coaches will receive a booklet containing each of these
players resumes.
