Volunteer Schedule St. Mary Gym |
St. Mary offers a Girl’s Volleyball program for all eligible children attending the school or active in PSR entering grades 4th-8th. Practices start in August before school begins and normally an instructional camp begins the practice season. Games are played from mid-September until October, normally for 6 weeks, on Saturdays or Sundays. Multiple games may be played on each weekend date and the Diocese attempts to have 9-10 games per season. In 2009, we fielded two 4th grade teams, one 5th, one 6th, and a combined 7th-8th grade team in the Recreational Divisions.
Games will be played throughout the Diocese in other school gyms. Due to the size of our court, SMAA attempts to host 7th or 8th grade games, dependent upon the Diocese’s needs, parish and volunteer availability. We are, also, investigating the potential for a Boys team within the Diocesan League – prior approval is required!
At the end of the regular season, each team is separated into tournament divisions, by regular season records. Therefore, teams that have similar records will play over the next week or two and have a chance at the Championship. Schedules are not normally released by the Diocese until the Wednesday prior to the start of league or tournament play. The SMAA purchases individual trophies for regular season or tournament champions, normally presented at the season ending banquet in November.
