Tryouts
To earn a spot on one of our league teams, you’ll first need to attend tryouts. These are open training sessions where the coaches of each team watch the players and select who they’d like on their roster. Tryouts run over several days, starting with the top teams and working down: elite, 1st division, 2A, 2B, and so on. If you aren’t offered a spot in one session, don’t worry – just come back the next day and try out for the next team.
Each session includes a range of drills, giving the coaches a chance to see how you handle different positions and techniques. Before the drills, there’s a warm-up, usually done in pairs with a ball. If you’d like a bit more time to warm up, it’s a good idea to arrive early and get loose in the stands or the weight room.
| What to bring: A short packing list so you’re ready for tryouts: Training clothes Indoor shoes Water bottle Good energy! Optional: Towel Knee pads Sleeves |
Interested in playing for our elite teams?
At the start of tryouts there will be a combined tryout for elite and 1st division. The rest of the week there will be separate practices where we can test the cooperation and the skill level of the team. If you are interested in trying out please contact volleyball-sportslig@ntnui.no, sign up for tryouts and show up on the first day of tryouts.

Hobby team
If you didn’t get a spot on a team through tryouts, we still have several ways for you to join the club. We have two hobby teams, one for men and one for women. These teams train once a week and do not participate in league play. This is a great option for those who want to take part in the social side of volleyball but don’t have much experience. If you’re part of a hobby team, you’re a full member of the club and can join our events such as training camps, Christmas parties, social tournaments, etc.
Note! These are sign-up-based teams. A registration link will be published after the final tryout day. Spots fill up quickly, so make sure to act fast! Follow our social media to stay updated on when the form will be released.
Open practice (Mosjon)
Each week we organize a open practice for all SiT members. This is a group session where a member from our club hosts a volleyball practice at Gløshaugen. It’s open to everyone regardless of skill level and is a great way to meet others interested in volleyball. Sessions usually include warm-up, team assignments, and game play.
Note! This is organized in cooperation with the club, but attending these open practices does not make you a member of NTNUI Volleyball.
