Team Placement - Updated for 2023
The MS Volleyball program sponsors three teams; a Middle School Varsity Team, a Middle School Junior Varsity Team, and a Developmental Team. There are 10 – 12 roster spots available on each team. Team selections will be made no later than Wednesday, January 4. MS Varsity team selections may be determined on December 15.
The Developmental Team practices 2 -3 times per week immediately after school (3 – 4:15 p.m.) and participates in 3 inter-squad scrimmage dates. We seek playdays with other teams, but this does not always develop.
The JV and Varsity teams practice or compete every day, Monday through Friday, as well as some Saturday tournaments. JV standard practice runs 3 - 4:45 and Varsity practice runs 4 – 5:45 p.m. Athletes may stay after school, but must remain in the gym area until practice.
Volleyball season is the only HCDE girls’ school sport in this season; however, club Lacrosse conflicts, so athletes will need to choose between lacrosse and volleyball in middle school.
Season Calendar
Regular Season – January 2 – March 5, including some Saturdays
Prepare for Tryouts
Athletes interested in trying out for volleyball may sharpen their skills at open gyms and pre-season clinics. There is no charge for any of these events. Participation is not mandatory, nor is attendance required in order to try out.
Open gym sessions are available December 28 and 29 from 9 – 10:45 a.m., and January 3 from 3 - 5 in the Middle School Gym. Coaching instruction is provided through a structured practice program but these events are not mandatory.
Athletes should complete all items from the tryout checklist before participating in any of these events or tryouts.
Tryout Checklist
Dragonfly Instructions
https://smmhs.hcde.org/for_students/Athletics/dragonfly-_physical_forms
Athletes must be cleared to participate through Dragonfly including a physical and all required clearance forms. Keep in mind, our Athletic Trainer must have time to approve all forms. Unsure if your athlete is up to date? Log-in to Dragonfly - if your athlete’s dashboard displays a complete green circle, she is eligible to try out; an incomplete circle indicates a missing or unapproved form.
