Pre-Tryouts

We are excited to announce our Pre-Tryout Camps and Open Gyms for 2025! These are excellent opportunities for players to be seen by prospective coaches before club tryouts. Our coaches and staff will be present and actively evaluating players to ensure that the tryout process identifies the best athletes for each team. We understand that tryouts can be stressful, and we want to provide multiple opportunities for players to be seen and to help them perform at their best.

Please note:

Our Pre-Tryout Camps have limited capacity due to court space. Be sure to register early to secure your spot. Players should only attend the camp specific to their age group. Camps are open to athletes of all ages and ability levels.



Nebraska Elite will be hosting a series of Open Houses for all age groups. These meetings will cover our mission, history, coaching staff, training philosophy, strength programs, competition level, travel expectations, fees, and more. We will also explain the Nebraska Elite Pipeline, which includes our three levels of club volleyball: National, Regional, and Youth Development.

• September 15 at 6:00 PM
• September 22 at 6:00 PM
• September 28 at 6:00 PM
• October 27 at 6:00 PM

These meetings are open to all athletes and parents, regardless of which club you were with last year. We welcome everyone!

Our Pre-Tryout Camps are open to players of any club affiliation or skill level. These clinics focus on preparing athletes for the tryout process. Many of the coaches involved in team selection will be coaching these camps.

Each session will emphasize technical development, high-quality repetitions, and tryout readiness.

Open Gyms are available to all players who have completed their high school season, regardless of club affiliation or skill level. These sessions are player-directed—there will be no coach instruction. Open Gyms are free and open to the public. No registration is required. Simply show up and play! Please only attend sessions appropriate for your age group.

Is Nebraska Elite more expensive than other clubs?

No. Our pricing is comparable to other clubs in the region. However, our results consistently surpass the competition. Our success comes from a detailed, process-driven approach that combines a competitive environment with high-level skills training—ultimately providing a stronger return on your investment.

Do you allow multi-sport athletes?

Absolutely. We’ve had athletes win state titles in volleyball, basketball, track, soccer, and tennis. Past players have included a Miss Nebraska titleholder, a NASA intern, fashion models, trap shooters, and over 100 National Honor Society members.

Do you practice four days a week?

No. Our teams typically practice twice per week. Some teams may have additional practices based on needs. We also offer optional positional training that many families choose to take advantage of. All players ages 15–18 participate in Motivera workouts for injury prevention and performance enhancement. Additional training opportunities are available but not required.

What if I don't make a team?

As the largest club in the region with our own facility, we have the flexibility to add teams at tryouts. We also always have more coaches available than teams expected, giving us additional options. For players 14 and under, we offer two excellent alternatives:

• Regional Teams
• Youth Development Program

Both are designed to help players grow and potentially earn a spot on a national team in the future.

What if I don't want to be on a second team in my age group?

Our second teams have a history of outstanding success. In the past five years, they’ve finished in the top 3 at national events nine times. Our 162s team won the Colorado Crossroads Qualifier, and our 152s won the Northern Lights Qualifier. At Nebraska Elite, team numbers don’t define our athletes—daily improvement does.

What if I don't know if I'm good enough to make a team at Nebraska Elite?

You won’t know unless you try out. Why risk missing out on the opportunity to be part of one of the most successful clubs in the country? Give yourself a chance—you might surprise yourself.
