Aftershock Shockshop
Our Pre-Tryout clinics provide an opportunity for junior girl athletes to brush up on their volleyball skillsets and to help prepare them for our Tryouts for the 2022-2023 season.
The clinics also give our coaches a preview of players’ skills, which combined with the tryouts, will help them to place players on teams that are best suited to their experience and skill levels.
The clinics will cover individual technical skills and position specific skills. Practice drills will help athletes become stronger, more accurate, and more knowledgeable in their volleyball skills and the game of volleyball.
All girls are welcome, including girls who are brand new to volleyball. You do not need to commit to trying out for Aftershock to attend these clinics. They are open to girls ages 10-18 regardless of intent to tryout or past volleyball experience.
Sundays, October 2 and 9.
Check-In: 12:30-1:00pm.
Clinic: 1:00-3:00pm.
Piner High School, 1700 Fulton Rd, Santa Rosa, CA 95403
$25.00 for each clinic. We accept only cash, checks, money orders or cashier’s checks. If planning to attend both clinics, you will need to pay separately for each clinic.
Aftershock tryouts are open to all junior girl athletes. No invitation or past experience is necessary.
Every effort is made to place players on teams that are in alignment with their experience and skill sets.

Sunday, October 30, 2022
Piner High School
1700 Fulton Rd, Santa Rosa
Following tryouts, the coaches will contact players/parents with team placement information. Upon acceptance, players/parents will be informed of next steps, including what time to show up on October 30th for the first team/parent meeting and club member sign-ups. So, please hold this date on your calendars so you don’t miss this mandatory team/parent meeting & practice.
If you have any questions please contact Club Director Craig Hardisty via email ([email protected]) or phone (707) 479-9645. Alternatively you may use our contact form.
Aftershock Tryouts will be…
October 15 and 16 for the 11-14 age divisions.
October 22 and 23 for the 15-18 age divisions.
Age groups are per USA Volleyball Age Definitions.
NCVA and other volleyball organizations have authorized tryouts for girls in the 15-18 age divisions beginning July 29.
We have always taken pride in our belief that our focus should be on what’s best for players and their families. We truly care and believe that all aspects of well-being should be considered when preparing for our volleyball season.
Though we recognize the potential conflict for players who wish to tryout for multiple clubs with varying tryout schedules, we have decided that our tryouts for this age group will take place following the high school volleyball season.
Delaying club tryouts allows prospective players to focus on their high school season team tryouts and families to enjoy their planned summer vacations before the start of the school year. This lessens any anxiety with players participating in simultaneous tryouts (club and school) and allows families to not stress about returning from vacation early.
In addition, we expect players to improve during their high school season. Holding tryouts near the end of the high school season will lead to more appropriate team placement for the player.
Finally, it doesn’t make sense to us to form teams in July but not be able to begin practicing until November, as per NCVA regulations.
Thus, tryouts for girls in the 15–18 age divisions will take place on October 22 and 23.
One final thought: If the trend in club volleyball is toward becoming a year-round sport, we must be very conscientious about overuse and injury prevention in order to keep everyone healthy, excited and inspired all year long.
NCVA has authorized tryouts for girls in the 11-14 age divisions to begin October 15.
Therefore, tryouts for girls in the 10-14 age divisions will take place on October 15 and 16.
We will be posting the tryouts schedules and locations soon. If you have signed up for club notifications, you will get an automatic notice. Otherwise, please check back here in mid-September for more details.
Once the schedule is finalized and posted, let us know if you are unable to attend tryouts for your age group so we can work with you on a possible solution. Contact Craig Hardisty at (707) 479-9645 or email [email protected].
We will have pre-tryout clinics in October. Details will be posted in September. Be sure to subscribe to receive club news by email so you don’t miss clinics and tryouts information!
Enjoy the rest of your summer, everyone! We’ll see you in October!
There are other clubs within the local area that will continue with their early tryout schedule for the older age groups. We ask you to remember why you previously chose or are considering Aftershock Volleyball Club.
Whether you are a beginner or a skilled player who wants to maintain their skills, this 5-week program has something for everyone. Our focus will be on developing individual technical skills (hitting, serving, passing, defense), and position specific skills (setters, hitters, passers, libero/defensive specialist, middle) to help you improve your technique and gain confidence on the court.
No prior volleyball experience is required. This program is open to all girls, whether or not they have played on a club or school team.
Girls ages 10 – 18. Help us to spread the word and invite a friend to participate with you!
The first one or two clinics will be to evaluate participants’ abilities in order to place them in a group with similar skills and experience.
The remaining clinics will consist of practicing with your assigned group. These practice drills will help athletes to become stronger, more accurate, and more knowledgeable in their volleyball skills and the game of volleyball.
If you are 14 years old and you played on a 15’s club team this year, please come to the clinics for the 15-18 year old age group.

5621 Skylane Blvd
Santa Rosa, CA 95403
Parking at the site is limited, but there is usually additional no-cost parking available across the street during the evening hours.
Participants will need to bring their own knee pads, water, and face mask (if they desire to wear one).

If you have any questions, please contact the Club Director, Craig Hardisty, at (707) 479-9645 or [email protected], or the Director of Player Development, Rich Schwarz, at (707) 478-5593 or [email protected]. Alternatively, you may use our contact form.
See you at the clinics!
We are continuing to offer an opportunity for female youth volleyball players to safely return to playing volleyball under public health and safety COVID protocols. This next session will involve more play time, scrimmages, and fun! We hope you can join us!
Girls ages 10 – 18. Beginners are welcome. No previous volleyball experience required.
Following registration, we will send out an email to all participants with the dates and times for their practices and who their coaches will be.
Players can expect to spend about one third of the time doing drills and building skills, and two thirds of the time scrimmaging with other teams. Practice drills will focus on developing individual technical skills (serving, setting, digging, spiking, and blocking), team strategy, and conditioning your muscles for endurance.
We will be following the current Sonoma County health and safety protocols for team sports.
Space is limited, so register early to ensure your spot. We will be forming groups based on skill levels, ages, and positions to ensure a positive experience for the players.
We are aware that players may not have touched a volleyball in over a year. Please rest assured that players will receive instruction in the safe, caring, and nurturing environment that Aftershock is known for.
