2023-2024 VIKINGS VOLLEYBALL
7th and 8th Grade Conference Volleyball
Girls must tryout for the 7th and 8th grade teams, which will consist of approximately 15 girls each. Girls interested in trying out are expected to attend both tryout dates, and to have a CURRENT Athletic Permission Form completed on Skyward through Parent Access. Members of the team are expected to attend practice every day after school. **Students who make the conference team may not participate in practice/games until they have a current physical on file with the school nurse. The athletic fee for those who make the team is $100.
The coaches strive to allow all participants to have the opportunity to improve their skills and participate in games. During the season, the teams compete against all the schools in the Fox Valley Conference. On game days there will be two matches played at each grade level against the opposing school. Games are scored by a rally-point system, which means that a point can be earned at any time in the game, no matter who served the ball. Whoever reaches 25 points first, by a margin of at least two points, wins the game. The first team to win two games wins the match. If a team wins the first two games, the final game is only played to 15 (margin also by 2 points). There is also a one-day FVC tournament for 7th and 8th grades. A complete schedule can be found below.

City League Volleyball
-
City League Volleyball is open to any 6th grade girls or boys and 7th and 8th grade girls that are not on our Fox Valley Conference team (tryout team). City League is a short season that consists of nine practices and two games versus McHenry Middle School. The games are on Saturday mornings. Times for these games are not set because they depend on the amount of students participating. The girls’ & boys' practices will be after school from 2:30-4:00.
The students will be asked to purchase a t-shirt to wear at their games. There will be no fee for the program but students are required to have a CURRENT Athletic Permission Form completed on Skyward through Parent Access by the first practice. Please listen to announcements to find out how to sign up for City League Volleyball. A complete schedule can be found below. An activity bus is available at 4:15, after practice. Transportation to and from Saturday games is not provided.
