What Dreams Are Made Of

Boston had Community Auditions, a reality talent show, before the genre actually existed. A few made it out. 

MVB tryouts give young athletes the same chance to show your skill, will, and competitive character. 

"There is nothing cheaper than free advice."

  • Bring the best version of yourself. 
  • Make a mistake. "Shake it off." 
  • Bring positive energy. 
  • Support everyone there. 
  • Visualize success before you even start. 
  • Celebrate the journey. 
Let's get a consult from ChatGPT: 

Here are five clear and practical pieces of advice for any aspiring girls' volleyball player heading into tryouts:


1. Be Loud and Energetic
Show you're engaged. Call the ball, cheer for teammates, and communicate constantly. Coaches notice players who bring energy and uplift others—it signals leadership and confidence.


2. Hustle on Every Play
Whether it's chasing down a shanked pass or sprinting to shag balls during drills, your effort should never dip. Hustle is 100% controllable and often separates similar players.


3. Show Coachability
Listen carefully, nod when being addressed, and apply feedback immediately. Coaches value players who are receptive and adaptable—those who make the team better, not just themselves.


4. Focus on Fundamentals
Pass with proper platform, set with clean hands, and swing with purpose. You don't need to be flashy—just consistent. Reliable ball control is often more impressive than raw power.


5. Be a Great Teammate
Encourage others. Shake off mistakes and help others do the same. Volleyball is a team sport, and players who are unselfish and positive stand out—even if they’re not the top performer.

Lagniappe. Adjust your approach to the situation.
