HOMESCHOOL GIRLS VOLLEYBALL CLUB
Practice Team
This team will be for all beginners, 3rd grade and up who are new to volleyball, or for athletes who need more time before they are ready for a more competitive team. Volleyball fundamentals will be taught at the beginner level for passing, setting, and hitting (also known as spiking) as well as placement and rotations. Emphasis will be on creating trust and bonds as teammates on and off the court. Players will learn all volleyball rules and guidelines and try out each position. A well rounded volleyball player is the goal to advancing in this sport. This level will include 4-6 scrimmages, but the Practice Team is more about learning to have fun and falling in love with the sport. All team members are expected to act, react and address other teams in a mature manner remembering they are playing for the Glory of God.
Practices start July 31, 2023, at HSB (5625 Burlingame Ave SW, Wyoming, MI 49509) Mondays and Thursdays 5pm-6:30pm unless a game is scheduled. We ask that players arrive 10-15 minutes early to get shoes and kneepads on, bathroom break and help setup nets. We plan to schedule a couple scrimmages for the Practice Team during the season, so please keep close tabs on the calendar. If there are away games for the upper levels, there will be no practice.
Teams are run on a pay-to-play basis. The fees collected are used to pay for gym space, tournament and home game fees, refs, equipment, insurance, and coaches. Fees are determined based on number of practices, games and tournaments. Please see our registration page for more details.
