Triple F Elite Sports Training

Tryouts 2026–27 Season

Why Triple F?

Be Part of Something Bigger.

Triple F Volleyball may be new to the East Tennessee club scene, but we’re here to stay. Now entering our third year—building steadily from 5 teams in year one to 8 teams in year two—we continue to grow with intention, not haste. We’re inviting athletes to become foundational pieces of a long-lasting brand and legacy. We’re Christ-centered, athlete-focused, and committed to excellence both on and off the court.

We’re not just another club. We’re building a movement in the volleyball community—delivering elite-level training without sacrificing compassion. Our growth has been intentional at every step, prioritizing culture, development, and sustainability over speed.

Our coaching staff includes collegiate coaches, former professionals, and experienced trainers united by a mission to develop complete athletes, build character, and create leaders.

This is more than a club—it’s a community. And we’d love for you to help us build it.

Tryout Process.

Fair. Transparent. Pressure-Free.

We believe tryouts should give every athlete a fair and equal opportunity to earn a roster spot—without pre-offers, promises, or pressure. Our process values effort, attitude, and potential just as much as skill, and families are free to explore other options before making a commitment, without restrictions or fear of missing out.

To provide clarity and intentional placement, tryouts are organized into three separate blocks aligned with our three programs—College Prep, Hybrid, and Developmental. Athletes are evaluated within the specific program they are trying out for, so expectations are clear and the process is focused, transparent, and purpose-driven.

Team Placement

Triple F staff will notify families of placement after 5:00 PM on notification day.

College Prep

Tryouts in July are exclusively for our College Prep Program, designed for athletes seeking the highest level of training, competition, and long-term development. Our College Prep Program is built for athletes who want to train in a high-performance, college-style environment while maximizing development and exposure.

The College Prep Program is a highly selective, placement-based program. We will form one College Prep team per age group (14U–18U) with a maximum of 12 athletes per roster. Athletes who are not selected are strongly encouraged to attend our Hybrid Program tryouts in October, which provide a competitive and development-focused pathway within the club.
