Freshman

The majority of incoming Freshman only know "backyard" or "gym" volleyball. We use this year to educate the athletes on the complexities of high school volleyball. We will teach mechanics, technique, defensive court locations, offensive court locations, serve receive patterns and position specialization.

We conduct athletic and skill testing during Freshman tryouts to establish a baseline for improvement. It is possible for a Freshman who scores high in athletic tests to be moved up to JV depending on the team needs. We do not make cuts at the Freshman level. 

At the Freshman level we strive to give all players equal playing time. However playing time is earned by performance in practices and games.
