7th and 8th Grade Girls Volleyball

"Practice makes perfect."

Practice for 7th and 8th Grade Girls Volleyball will take place every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from September 5th to September 20th.

Once games begin on September 23rd, practices will only occur on Tuesdays and Fridays for the duration of the season. The final practice is scheduled for Tuesday, October 22nd.

As with all sports and club activities, there will be no official practice on early release Wednesdays.

Practice begins at about 3:15 pm and will conclude by about 4:35 pm. Please arrange for transportation home or use the activity bus.

It is expected that athletes be at all practices unless prior communication takes place. All athletes who have met the eight-practice requirement will be allowed to compete in matches.
 

Spike!

Just like with practice, members of the volleyball team are expected to attend matches unless prior communication takes place.
 

Transportation

For matches played at Timbercrest students should remain at school for warmups and last minute strategy changes.

Buses will be provided to transport students to games played at other schools. Please be ready to board the buses by 3:15 pm!

At the conclusion of both home and away matches students will need to arrange for transportation home.
 

Practice Good Sportsmanship

Though it is a competition, it is important to practice good sportsmanship at all matches.

• Refrain from "trash talk".
• Express appreciation toward your competitors whether you are the host or visitor.
• Don't be a sore loser or a sore winner.
• Winning means nothing if you lose off of the court by being disrespectful or disruptive.
   

With this sport having team size limits, tryouts are necessary in order to select the most enthusiastic student athletes to represent Timbercrest.

There are separate teams for 7th and 8th Grade. While this means that there are more spots, it is still important to bring your A-game and work hard to show the coach why you should be on the team.

Tryouts are tentatively scheduled for September 5th, 6th, 9th, and 10th.
