Volleyball Tryouts Are Over — Here's How to Get Your Club Team Outfitted Before Tournament Season

Club and travel volleyball tryouts wrap up in October and November, rosters get finalized, and tournament season opens as early as December for boys' programs and January for girls'. That leaves a narrow window between "the team is set" and "we're on the court in matching jerseys" — and it's the same window every other club in your region is trying to use at once.

This one's for club, travel, and school volleyball coaches, directors, and team managers who just finished tryouts and now need a uniform order moving before the first tournament. Williams Athletics builds free custom team stores and handles bulk club orders for volleyball programs across North Florida, Central Florida, South Florida, and South Georgia.

Why the Post-Tryout Window Is So Tight

Unlike a spring sport where colors and rosters are locked in months ahead, volleyball clubs are often finalizing exact roster spots and sizes at nearly the same moment they need to be practicing in team gear. That means production time — not indecision — is the real constraint here. The sooner sizes get collected right after tryouts close, the more breathing room your team has before that first tournament weekend, when every team on the schedule is trying to look like it's been together all season.

What Makes Volleyball Uniform Ordering Different

A volleyball order has more moving pieces than people expect walking in. Kneepads matter as much as the jersey — every player needs a pair in team colors, and it's easy to forget until tournament photos show a mismatched sideline. Spandex shorts fit differently than the jersey top and need their own accurate sizing, since both pieces are form-fitting. And if your team runs a libero, that player needs a jersey in a visibly different color or pattern from the rest of the roster — it's a rule, not a style choice, so it has to be planned into the order from the start, not added as an afterthought.

Who's Paying — Club Dues or Individual Order?

Club volleyball fee structures vary quite a bit. Many clubs bake a uniform package into club dues, collected once and bulk-ordered for the whole roster. Rec and school programs more often have families order and pay individually. Directors running a multi-team club — several age groups, each with its own jersey color or sponsor logo — often end up doing both: a bulk order for the required competition jersey per team, and a team store left open for kneepads, warm-ups, and spirit wear that families choose to buy or skip.

Team Store or Bulk Order for Volleyball Clubs?

• Bulk order fits when the club collects one uniform fee per player and needs the whole roster outfitted identically and on time for tournament sign-in.
• Team store fits when parents order and pay directly — especially useful for multi-team clubs, since each team usually wants its own store with its own colors rather than one store trying to serve five different rosters at once.

What's in a Complete Volleyball Team Store

• Sublimated jerseys, sleeveless or short-sleeve
• Spandex shorts in matching team colors
• Kneepads in team colors
• Fan and spirit wear for the parents in the stands
