We’re offering a few optional open gym opportunities for girls who are interested in getting some extra volleyball experience before MS Volleyball tryouts in early December!

These open gyms are NOT tryouts and attendance is not required. They are simply a chance to get in the gym, work on skills, get some reps, and have fun playing volleyball before the season begins.

Whether you’ve played before or are newer to the sport, we’d love to see you there!
