Announcement: 8th Grade Girls Volleyball Tryouts Extended

From Coach Sims:

We have decided to extend the tryouts for 8th grade! 

Tomorrow (Friday, August 22) will be tryout Day #3 from (4:30 - 6:00pm). 

Please come prepared and dressed accordingly. Coach Ellah really appreciates everyone's effort and because of it, she would like another day to evaluate and assess the players. Every player will receive an email this weekend about whether they made the final roster or not. Parents, please prepare your child for either outcome of the tryout.
