Open House
Following our Open Gyms, we'll transition into the Arizona Region's official Open House period. These sessions are designed to give athletes and families the opportunity to meet our coaching staff, experience our training environment, and learn more about what it means to be part of the Rush family.
What is the Difference Between an Open Gym and an Open House?
We know this can be confusing, so here's a quick explanation of the Arizona Region of USA Volleyball guidelines.
Open gyms are informal practice sessions designed to help athletes:
- Get extra touches on the ball
- Compete in a fun, low-pressure environment
- Meet coaches and other players
- Prepare for the upcoming season
Open gyms are held before the official Open House and Tryout windows. They are not evaluations, and no team commitments or offers are made during these sessions.
Open Houses are part of the official Arizona Region-regulated period immediately before tryouts.
During this time:
- Clubs may host a maximum of three Open House sessions per age group.
- Each session is limited to 2–3 hours.
- Athletes are encouraged to visit multiple clubs to experience different coaching staffs, training environments, and club cultures before making a decision.
Arizona Region rules also prohibit clubs from:
- Holding additional open gyms during the Open House period.
- Offering private lessons outside the approved window.
- Requiring athletes to attend multiple sessions.
- Requesting money or team commitments before the official tryout dates.
