Who: Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade girl who is considering trying out for the volleyball team is invited to attend Volleyball Open Gyms. Open Gyms are not mandatory; however, they are highly recommended as they give potential players the opportunity to practice their skills prior to tryouts. Tryouts will be held the week of December 8th (a schedule has not yet been determined). Remember that in order to try out, a player must have a current physical on file with the school office (physicals are good for one calendar year).
Questions: Should you have any questions about any of this information please contact Coach Gail Elbert elbertg@ghills69.com, Coach Kelsey Hobson khobson@ghills69.com, or Coach Victoria Wells wellstv@ghills69.com, or call the school (309) 383-2121.
Open Gym Schedule:
Friday, November 7th: 3:00-4:30 PM in the JDS Gym (All Grades)
Thursday, November 13th: 2:45-4:15 in the West Gym (All Grades)
Monday, November 17th: 5:30- 7:00 PM in the JDS Gym (All Grades)
