2011 Open Gyms and Tryouts schedules will be posted soon ~ please check back

What is an Open Gym?
Open Gym is a time for Flatirons coaches to observe players in an informal setting. Team oriented games and drills will be run. All players who are interested in playing for Flatirons Volleyball Club are encouraged to attend as many Open Gyms as possible. This is an opportunity for you to see how Flatirons runs as a club, what our coaches are like and who are the other athletes interested in Flatirons.

Wear a T shirt that sets you apart from the others; no cut out shirts or inappropriate wordage, please. Avoid wearing shirts from other clubs. Bring a secure water bottle, wear knee pads and shorts.

You must have proof of membership in USA Volleyball ($55) to participate. The cost is $5 for each Open Gym.
