Fall '24Volleyball
Fall '24Volleyball
Volleyball- next fall? The school volleyball season typically starts right after Labor Day and finishes mid-October. Since this is shortly after school begins, we are trying to get a jump start on organization and hopefully even some practices in this school year. Traditionally these school teams are organized & coached by parent volunteers and run through the city of Charleston recreation department.
The costs are approximately $40 per player to the Recreation Department and $50 per player for jerseys plus the cost of knee pads & shorts.
This sport is open to girls & boys in 5th - 8th grades. Last year, every grade level had a girls team and the boys team was a mixture of grade levels.
We are assuming next year will follow a similar format and teams will be based on the number of students interested, the number of available coaches, and the player's ability. Meaning if we have too many students interested (city rec. limit is 12 players/team) and too few available coaches, then we will have "try-outs".
If your child is interested in volleyball next school year, please fill out this form.

More Information about this Survey: Section 59-18-900 of the Education Accountability Act requires that annual school report cards include “evaluations of the school by parents, teachers, and students.” Parent perceptions as collected in the Parent School Climate Survey appear on our school report card and provide school staff with insight to issues within our school. Results from the Parent School Climate Survey are used by the Education Oversight Committee to meet the requirements of Section 59-28-190 of the Parental Involvement in Their Children’s Education Act. Survey responses are also used by your school to better address student and family needs and foster an environment that promotes student learning and success. The survey is anonymous and schools will receive only a summary of the answers provided. If you feel uncomfortable responding to any question, you may skip that question. The survey will note that a question has been left unanswered, but you can click “continue” to proceed without answering the question.
