Dear Volleyball Parents and Players, Summer is just around the corner and marks the beginning of our 2016 season. Our summer program takes into consideration the short summer break, a four week gym closure for floor maintenance and the needs of our volleyball families. With these things in mind, our summer program will be concise. We expect a high level of compliance with the limited open gym opportunities that are available. Our coaches have been busy preparing for this summer and ask that our athletes continue their preparations as well. Mental preparation comes with continued focus in the classroom as the academic year draws to a close. Physical preparation will allow our athletes to compete at a high level at the beginning and throughout our season. Emotional preparation will be accomplished by adequate rest during the short summer. We rely on each player’s parents for support and involvement and appreciate help balancing family commitments with those of your daughter’s commitments to her team. It is through hard work by all that we will accomplish our goals ...TOGETHER!
