program?
The goal of the program is to teach the FUNdamentals of volleyball while
emphasizing the FUN of playing an organized sport.
A lower net and lighter ball will be used so participants can have success

overhand. Girls that meet BOTH of these requirements will be placed on
advanced teams.

Additional
Information
Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early on the first
day of the program to check-in and receive your program t-shirt.
Parents are more than welcome to stay and observe sessions. Please
remain in the spectator areas (rather than coming out on the courts).
What to wear:
Participants should wear a tee-shirt, shorts, and court shoes. We ask
that all participants wear a tee-shirt rather than a camisole or tank
top because of the postures they play in. Also, we ask that participants
carry in their court shoes and change into them upon arrival. This helps
keep the court surface clean, dry, and safe in case of rain.
Participants can wear kneepads as well if they wish.
What to bring:
Participants should bring a clearly labeled water bottle.
