Tryouts in Motion: Day One Reflections

The first day of Academy tryouts is officially in the books, and what an incredible day it was!

Our gym was filled with energy, determination, and plenty of smiles as athletes pushed themselves through a series of skill stations, team drills, and live play. From the moment warm-ups began, it was clear that this group came ready to compete and ready to grow.

What stood out most to our coaching staff wasn’t just the level of skill—it was the communication, the hustle, and the willingness to be coached. Players encouraged each other, adjusted quickly to feedback, and showed us the type of teamwork that sets the foundation for success.

At PVA, we believe tryouts are more than just evaluations. They’re opportunities for athletes to showcase not only their abilities, but also their resilience, mindset, and love for the game. Day one was filled with moments of grit and growth that remind us why we are so excited to build our inaugural teams.

As we prepare for day two, we’re eager to see even more effort, leadership, and pride on display. The journey is just beginning, and these athletes are already making it one to remember.
