**Please look at white board in gym for any schedule changes and the tournament bracket!

During registration you will be able to select your preferred practice days; however, our first priority is equality among teams so this request might not be granted. We cannot accept requests for specific practice times or coaches.

Practices are held on either Monday and Wednesday OR Tuesday and Thursday and will be one hour long.

When will practices start?

Practices will start March 20 or 21 (depending on practice days).  Your will receive an email that will tell you what team your daughter is on with a schedule of practice days and times! Practice times are an hour and usually 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30.

All girls MUST participate in evaluations Wednesday, March 1 OR Thursday, March 2. Time to be determined based on amount of registrations submitted. Parents may not be in the gym during evaluations. You will be given the option when you register your daughter. Evaluations are NOT tryouts, everyone who registers will be placed on a team.  We use the evaluations to determine skill level so that we can make teams as even and fair as possible.

Our coaches are all volunteers from the community who are passionate about volleyball and giving back to their community. We rely on our volunteer coaches to provide a nurturing and enriching learning environment.   We want to teach our girls how to play sports – starting with a solid foundation of the fundamentals while gradually implementing new skills and challenging them throughout the season.  If you are interested in coaching this season, please complete our application!  All coaches are required to complete to a Level 2 FDLE Background Screen prior to coaching.

**COACHES MEETING – The meeting includes expectations for the season and GP rules. Date and time TBD.

 

Each team will play a minimum of one game on the weekends throughout the season.  The game schedule will be announced during the first week of practice.  An e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address provided during registration with a link to view the game schedule.  We will also post a copy of the schedule on the bulletin board in the gymnasium.

Sponsorships and donations are vital to the success of the athletic program.  If you are interested in sponsoring a team or the general athletics fund, please complete the sponsorship form and contact us for more information.
