- The volleyball program will be doing various fundraisers throughout the summer to hopefully be able to pay for a portion of these camps (excluding Zizzer Camp). More information about these fundraisers will be shared later.
- While open gyms and summer off-season practices are not required, it is very beneficial to attend as much as possible to allow players to practice skills before tryouts in the fall. While in NO WAY will a player be punished for not attending, keep in mind that those who DO attend will be further along with basic volleyball technique and skill.
- Please help get the word out of these dates to anyone interested in trying out for high school volleyball for the 2010-2011 school year.
- Information regarding the volleyball summer schedule will be handed out May 20 and 27.
- If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to call Coach Erin Lovelace at 256-6150.
