End of the season

Yesterday was our final match of the season against Plattsburgh.  It took us a while to get rolling, but we played very well in the final game.  Overall, it was an excellent season.  All the girls worked hard and learned a lot. 

We will have a volleyball pizza party next Wednesday, October 28th during lunch period.  Feel free to bring something to share. 

If you really like volleyball I have 2 words for you:  Volleyball Camp.  Summer volleyball camps are a lot of fun and really help with skill development.  There is also club volleyball for 12-15 year olds.  Tryouts are in December in Beekmantown.  If you are interested in finding out more about club volleyball, or camps, let me know.

Game change

Our match against Ausable Valley that was scheduled for Tuesday, September 29th at 4:30 has been rescheduled to Monday, September 28th at 4:30.

Successful week

Hi team and parents,  We had a successful first week of matches last week.  On Thursday we won all 6 games against Saranac.  On Friday we won 5 and lost 3.  This week we start working on a 4-2 offense (4 hitters, 2 setters).  This will be confusing and at times frustrating for the girls, but it is the next step in the process.  Every team eventually has to make this transition from whacking the ball over to playing volleyball as a team.  We will have designated setters and hitters.  Players will be switching positions after the serve.  As always, we are working toward bump, set and spike. 

The girls have been working hard since August 24th.  On Wednesday we will take a well deserved rest.  No practice.

Matches start

Hi Team,  It is a big week in Modified Volleyball.  We play Thursday and Friday, away.  Today we practice until 4:00.  At 4:00 the JV starts their warm up for their game.  Players are encouraged to attend the JV and Varsity games if possible.

Match schedule change

Hi team,  There has been a change in the match schedule.  Our first match has been changed from Tuesday 9/15 to Thursday 9/17 at Saranac Central.  We also have a match Friday, 9/18 so we will have a busy couple of days.

Parent meeting on Friday

Hi Team and Parents,  On Friday we will be practicing together with the JV and Varsity.  We will practice from 3:00-5:00.  At 5:00 there will be a parent meeting in the gym.  Hope to see you there.
