If you have students interested in volleyball, here are three important events coming up this summer.

Dates: July 28–30

Time: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM

This camp is designed to develop fundamental volleyball skills while promoting teamwork and cooperation in a competitive environment. With the help of past and current Gator volleyball players, we look forward to welcoming you into the Delta Woods Gator Volleyball family!

The Delta Woods Middle School camp will focus on individual skills as well as teamwork in game-like situations.

The beach volleyball tournament is optional and has no additional cost. More information is coming soon!

8/18 (Monday): No school / Tryouts begin — 3:00–5:00 PM

*If a player cannot attend the open gym session, it will not count against their tryout evaluation. If a student must miss the official tryout dates, they will be given three days of tryouts upon return. If you miss tryout dates, you must inform the coaches before tryouts begin.

Tryouts will take place over the course of five days. We will assess overall athleticism, individual skills (mechanics and accuracy), and observe players in game-like situations and scrimmages. Players will also be evaluated on sportsmanship and character, as these are essential qualities for all Delta Woods athletes. If a player misses one of the official tryout dates, we will do our best to make up the individual skill assessments, but we cannot make up the live-play time missed

IMPORTANT: Players must have a complete and current physical uploaded to PowerSchool before they can participate in tryouts. If a player does not have a current physical on file, they will be sent home.
