Page last updated: May 6, 2010The 2010 pre-season begins! **Updated Schedule**
Returning players & current AND INCOMING RHS students are invited to attend our open gyms starting May 12th in the RHS gym from 3:30-5:30pm. Open gyms will run all summer long on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-5:30pm. No coaching will be done until June 2nd, but students are invited to come play during this time.
***Incoming Freshman***
If you are an incoming freshman or parent of a freshman, here are the things you need to know...
Tryouts: August 23-27th from 9am-3:30pm at the RHS gym. All decisions for team assignments will be made during tryouts. Please note that TRYOUTS ARE DURNING SUMMER BREAK. Please schedule all family vacations before these dates as make-up tryouts are generally not given. If you know you will have a conflict with those dates, please email the coach ASAP.
Teams: Roosevelt Volleyball has 3 teams; Varsity (highest level), Junior Varsity (JV), and JVC (Freshman/Sophomore team). The Varsity and JV teams will carry between 10 and 12 girls each. The JVC team is a no-cut team this year. All JVC players will participate in every practice, but only 12 will be selected for "Away Games."
Practices/Matches: Practices will be held everyday (5 days a week) after school in the RHS gym except on game days. Games twice a week, either on Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays. JV and JVC play at 5:30pm and Varsity plays at 7pm. Check back for the final schedule after May 15th. Varsity typically practices 3 hours a day (3-6pm), JV and JVC tend to practice 2 hours per day (4-6pm). Each team will participate in 2 tournaments, which are on Saturdays and last all day. Attendance at all practices and matches is required to participate in volleyball at RHS.
Summer activities/Fitness: The volleyball program runs a series of acvtivites over the summer break. Please check the "summer/tryouts" page for all activities. Our goal for summer conditioning/practice is to get the RHS players physically ready to play at a high level. We aim to reduce injuries by giving our athletes a series of activities that will help them prepare for tryouts and the season. All incoming freshmen are invited and encouraged to participate as much as possible during the summer practices/conditioning/weight training.
Paperwork: In order to participate in summer conditioning and the volleyball season, you must download, print and turn in a completed athletic packet. The athletic packet can be found on the RHS main athletic page (here)
