Regular Season
Varsity level volleyball is a commitment of about 3-4 hours per day, up to 7 days a week with an occasional Saturday tournament. It is our expectation that athletes will be present for all team tryouts, scrimmages, practices, games, and tournaments.
The team's game and practice schedule will be available on the team's Google Classroom calendar. Each team will have their own calendar.
Missing practices and games will have an impact upon the student's playing time in subsequent practices and/or games.
The regular season ends in early November for both teams.
Varsity is then eligible for post-season play.
