LE Volleyball TOURNAMENT TEAM TRYOUTS for 7th & 8th Grade Girls

The LE Tournament Team is aimed toward students who are considering playing volleyball in high school and want more dedicated time with volleyball in the Fall season.  It offers a higher level of team strategy and skills as well as a higher level of competition.  Those selected to participate on the team via the tryout process will earn their playing time by demonstrating good attitudes, work ethic, and teamwork at practice in addition to strong volleyball skills. Playing time is not guaranteed. Tournament players must also play for their La Entrada school team in the Burgess league. There is an additional cost for the Tournament Team.

CLINIC & TRYOUTS WILL BE HELD IN THE GYM by Laura Quinn, District Parent and former Stanford Volleyball Player, as well as Coach Jen Knox. Please come with hair pulled back, proper shoes and knee pads and a great attitude!

Hot Lunch Volunteers Needed
Hot Lunch starts on Monday, Aug 30th, but the program cannot run without volunteers: and we need to have plenty of help to get off to a good start.
If you are available for 40 minutes once a week or once every other week, serving hot food is a great way to see your children, connect with other parents, and help with a vital PTA service all at once.  If you have an interest, please contact Julia Massa at gershenberg@sbcglobal.net with your availability or sign up online http://www.laentradapta.org/volunteer.html(click on "Hot Lunch" on the left sidebar.)
