What to Expect and Tryout Results
We are excited to host your athlete for tryouts! Below is a list of reminders and information about MVP tryout results.
- What are we looking for in a student athlete? Coachability, Effort, Attitude, and players that have FUN!
- Remember those shoes and knee pads! Bring plenty of water.
- Arrive at least 30 minutes early to allow plenty of time for the check-in process.
- Our tryouts are CLOSED to parents. Parents must remain in the lobby of the Dayton Sports Complex
This is a nervous time for all. Most importantly it's the athletes time to shine. We want them comfortable so they can perform their very best.
Tryout Results
MVP will make offers either IN PERSON (in the gym at the end of any tryout session) or by phone or text message. These "first-round" offers are simply the offers made for the first 10 positions on a team; we want to get these offers in your hands as soon as possible! Please remember, if you do not receive an offer onsite this does not mean you didn't make a team - we do not extend all offers onsite or on the first day, and we may end up with additional openings if players decline an offer! If a player should decline an offer would then be made to the next player in line for that position.
Tryout results will be posted on our homepage as teams are filled.
