Use open gyms to begin evaluating players before tryouts

Jared Rudiger, Head Volleyball Coach at Fort Collins High School, says a valuable tool for beginning the preliminary summer search for players skilled enough to make one of the three high school teams is the open gym: a format where loose practices are conducted by the coaching staff that emphasize game-like situations, like scrimmages.
Open gyms give the coaching staff a good idea of where the general skill level is, who's a committed player, and who will be able to contribute to the school's success.
