Volleyball

   

     

How are the games formatted?

• Games will be played in the following order: (times may differ but will be on the season schedule handed out at the Parent/Player meeting)
  • 4:30 7^th Grade B team
  • 5:00 8^th Grade B team
  • 5:30 7^th Grade A team
  • 6:30 8^th Grade A team

Will there be tryouts?

• Players will be evaluated starting on the first day of practices and continue throughout the entirety of the year. We will have a “varsity” and "JV” team for both 7^th and 8^th grade, as well as practice teams for both grades. Teams can change throughout the season. Players will not be cut or removed from the team unless they are in violation of team, school, district, or state rules.

How much playing time will I receive?

• Playing time is earned in practice each day and not all playing time is fair or equal. Playing time is not guaranteed! Southmoore Junior High volleyball is a place for athletes to grow and develop new skills, but it is still a competitive sports program. Volleyball is a growing sport with a lot of interest! If you are seeking fair and equal playing time, recreational sports (such as the YMCA) may be better suited.

How will coaches determine which team I make?

• Many factors determine an athlete’s team placement. Some of these factors may include: attendance, attitude, effort, preparedness, team/program participation, leadership, and skill level.

Will everyone receive a jersey and playing time?

• Based on previous seasons and the growing popularity of volleyball in Moore- we expect to have a lot of junior high players. Every player is welcome to attend their assigned practice each day, but this does not guarantee a jersey, and jerseys do not guarantee playing time. In the event we have large numbers in practices, we may create a travel team for away games.

What do I have to do to participate and join? 

• Attend at least one mandatory parent/player meeting
• Receive a physical
• Join Southmoore Volleyball’s TeamApp

• Complete all necessary forms on the Rank One website
• Maintain school grades, attendance, and behavior
• Players will not be able to practice until their team contract is signed and RankOne papers are completed. Team contracts are handed out at the mandatory parent/player meetings and will need to be re-signed each year! 

Can parents or students watch practices?

• All practices will be closed practice and students not involved in volleyball cannot stay in the gym for liability reasons. Parents must wait outside the gym to pick up their athletes. This is for the safety, comfortability, and focus of all athletes in practices.
