🏐 Preseason Skills Clinic & Player Evaluations (June 28th)

 

• Location: Northwood High School  
• Time: 10:00AM  to 12:00PM (both 4th-6th and 7th-9th divisions)

During this clinic, our coaching staff will introduce fundamental skills (passing, setting, hitting, serving, and team systems). This evaluation allows coaches to assess each player’s skill level and knowledge before forming Week 1 teams.  

Players will have a designated 2-hour time slot based on their grade level. Please log into TeamSnap to verify that your child’s grade and gender are listed correctly.  

👟 Weekly Format & Team Structures

Following evaluations, the Drop-In League will run for 5 weeks on Sundays (July 12th – Aug 9th). Each week, players will participate in practices and scrimmages fully led by our volleyball coaching staff.  

• Drop-In Games & Scrimmages: Scrimmages immediately follow practice. Depending on the division’s skill level, game play may be modified (e.g., net adjustments, coach-initiated balls) to ensure the best experience. Official records will not be kept.  
• Note: Practices will be slightly longer during Weeks 1 and 2 to ensure players understand game fundamentals. As the season progresses, more time will be dedicated to live play, with the entirety of Week 5 reserved for scrimmages.  
• Team Formations: To maintain a competitive and balanced environment, teams will be Co-Ed and formed by evenly dispersing talent. Because this is a drop-in trial format for this season, teams may be reshuffled each week.  
• Location: We anticipate using Northwood High School as our main facility for the entire summer league.
