Volleyball Tryout Software

Run tryouts like
a program, not
a scramble.

You already know what tryout day usually looks like.

Clipboards that don't match by the end of the day. A spreadsheet someone forgot to update. A coach yelling a jersey number across the gym hoping someone writes it down correctly. TryoutDesk exists because that's not a process — it's a liability.

Check-in

"Wait, did Jersey #14 even show up?"

Paper sign-in sheets get lost, skipped, or filled out wrong. Nobody has a real headcount until it's too late to fix.

Evaluation

Four coaches, four different score sheets.

Combining paper scorecards at the end of the day is slow, error-prone, and someone's handwriting is always the problem.

Roster night

Rebuilding rankings from memory at 11pm.

Without live, aggregated scores, picking a roster comes down to who shouted the loudest in the room — not the numbers.

Every station of a tryout, connected.

One system that runs from the front door to the final roster — every coach, every station, one live source of truth.

01 — Check-In

Players check in themselves. You watch the count fill in.

Players scan a QR code on arrival — no sign-in sheets, no missing names. Or bulk check in an entire group the moment a team walks in the door.

  • QR code self check-in, no app required
  • Bulk check-in for whole teams at once
  • Live headcount on the dashboard

02 — Evaluation

Every coach scores on their own device. It all adds up automatically.

Set up evaluation stations — serving, passing, defense — and assign coaches to each. Scores save the instant they're tapped in and roll straight into live rankings.

  • 13 skills scored 1–10, 8 universal + 5 position-specific
  • Search by jersey number or name, mid-session
  • Built-in Rankings & Compare view, right at the station

03 — Video

Film the reps, tag the player, review it later.

Record live reps on any iPad, laptop, or webcam. Tag which player made the play with a big on-screen dial pad — no keyboard hunting, no missed taps, built for a gym running at full speed.

  • One-tap jersey tagging, auto-matched while you record
  • Works with a laptop + webcam, not just iPad
  • Pause, resume, and record the next rep without re-setup

04 — Rankings & Draft

Rankings update live. Drafting your roster takes minutes, not a meeting.

Overall and position-specific rankings recalculate the moment a score lands. When it's time to build teams, run a live multi-coach draft — locked picks show exactly who has who, so nobody's left guessing.

  • Live rankings by overall, position, or potential
  • Multi-team live draft, every coach on their own device
  • Locked players show which team has them — never a silent disappearance

Three phases. One organized tryout day.

1

Load your players

Upload your registration CSV or share the player entry link so athletes self-register. Assign jersey numbers and set your evaluation scoring criteria before the day starts.

2

Evaluate at stations

Coaches open TryoutDesk on any phone or tablet — no install required. They score each player at their station. You watch the rankings page fill in live as scores come through.

3

Build your roster

When the dust settles, open the draft tool. Rankings are already sorted. Pick your players, check position coverage, and export the final list. Done before you've left the gym.

One price. No surprises.

Everything you need to run tryouts the right way.

TryoutDesk is purpose-built for club volleyball. There's one plan because one plan covers everything — no tiers, no add-ons, no per-coach seats.

Your account is fully functional and free through December 31, 2026. Cancel any time before then and you won't be charged.

Questions? Email support@tryoutdesk.com and you'll hear back the same day.

Before you ask — here's the straight answer.

Do coaches need to install anything?

No. TryoutDesk runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, or laptop. Coaches open a link, log in with a PIN if you've set one up, and start scoring — nothing to download from an app store.

What happens to our data if we cancel?

Your data stays yours. You can export your full roster and evaluation scores to CSV at any time, trial or paid. If you cancel, your account is simply deactivated — nothing is sold or shared.

Can other clubs see our players or scores?

No. Every club's data — players, scores, rosters, messages — is fully isolated. There's no cross-club visibility anywhere in the system, by design.

Do I need reliable WiFi at the gym?

You need a connection for scores to sync live across devices — most gyms with WiFi or decent cell coverage are fine. If a coach's connection drops mid-session, their scores simply sync the moment it reconnects.

What if I need help setting up before tryout day?

Email support@tryoutdesk.com — you'll hear back the same day. Most clubs are fully set up (players imported, stations configured) in under 30 minutes.

Will I be charged automatically after the free period ends?

Only if you don't cancel. Your card is required to sign up, but you won't be charged the $799/year until January 1, 2027 — and you can cancel anytime before then from your account settings.
