7th & 8th Grade Volleyball

Everyone is expected to attend practice as scheduled for their team, unless they are excused in advance by a parent or are absent from school. An unexcused absence will result in loss of playing time. We understand that the lives of these young people are very full, but it is important to make a commitment when joining a team sport.  

All excuses for non-participation are to be given to one of the coaches, in writing (email is acceptable too), preferably before practice. If the coach is unavailable, the office administrative assistant will leave the note in the coach’s mailbox. 

In the context of a student-athlete, the “student” always comes first. If it is necessary to be late for practice due to academic reasons, the student should attempt to alert one of the coaches during the day rather than when they arrive late to practice. 

Horseplay, foul language & harassment/bullying of other players will not be tolerated. Everyone needs to be respectful to each other.  Everyone is here to learn to play volleyball and have fun. 

Athletes must remain in the gym during practice at all times. 

During games, athletes should sit with their teammates and encourage those who are playing. Good sportsmanship is expected toward our teammates as well as the players on the opposing team. 

Athletes need to wear tennis shoes, shorts and a T-shirt to practice as well as to matches.  Knee pads are optional.

Students will stay with the other volleyball players and walk as a group to Culvers for the celebration.
