5th/6th Spring Volleyball

I am looking forward to another year of 5th and 6th grade volleyball.  I am working on scheduling a few games and practices.  Depending on how many girls participate, we may also set up some scrimmages.  I am planning on two or three practices or games a week. This will run through the months of March and the first part of April.

If your child is interested in playing please fill out the attached form or the google form link.  -- Coach Rodriguez
