    REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

    TRYOUTS FOR 2026, OUR 8TH SEASON, WILL BE FROM MARCH 28 - APRIL 17. SIGNUP BY MARCH 15 TO GUARANTEE A SPOT. THE SIGNUP LINK IS:  https://register.teamsnap.com/form/qYH7HKftRhXqftHqhmt4K


    Selection to Sandsharks will be based on quantitative tryout scores. However, we reserve the right to accept individuals with athletic potential, but less developed skills, especially at the Young Guns level.


    Waitlist: After we have completed registering players for the 2026 season, interested athletes can still sign up on our Waitlist.  (You will have to have or purchase a USA Volleyball membership). Signing up for our Waitlist will entitle you to attend two sessions for free! This will allow athletes the chance to try the sport of beach volleyball.


    Exceptions: We may, on occasion, accept a rare high level player to our advanced group from waitlisted athletes. We wish we could coach every kid who wants to learn the game. However, we are constrained by the availability of coaches, don’t want to overcrowd existing sessions, and are limited by our permit with the Town of Dewey Beach.


    Learn More: Please text Coach Jon at (301) 346-8850 to discuss your child, the options available, or to set up a date and time to attend a free session. We want to hear from you!
