LCMR Volleyball - Fall 2020-21

Greetings!  Thank you for showing an interest in LCMR Volleyball. It is a fun and exciting sport... as you will soon see. Because of the COVID-19 Corona Virus Pandemic things have been drastically altered regarding the state of our season, but in normal times this is basically how it goes.....

We generally start with voluntary practices beginning somewhere around the beginning of July. These practices are for those who want to get a head start on learning their brand new skills and also for more experienced players who want to get back into shape for the upcoming season. Mandatory practices usually start around August 13th or so. At that point we should all be ready to go full force into our season. We will have very little time left in which to prepare for our season. It generally begins as soon as school starts and runs through all of October. I will let you know when I find out exactly when and where our practices will be. I have to wait to get that information because of scheduled maintenance on all four gym floors (2 in LCMR and 2 in RMT). Please keep in mind that all participants MUST have a doctor's physical on file with LCMR and must be registered in Family ID. There is a link to Family ID on the School's website. Please take care of that as soon as possible even if your physical is still current. Make sure you are cleared to play. This goes for both practices and matches. There are instructional volleyball videos that ALL volleyball players should watch. They are excellent and teach the skills the right way. Please check them out. You can Google "Misty May Instructional Volleyball Videos". They are located on YouTube and they are terrific! Again, please check them out!!! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=misty+may+volleyball+training+videos YouTube and share it all with friends & family on YouTube. www.youtube.com Stockton University will usually hold a four night Summer Volleyball Camp in mid July. The cost is $120. Signups are limited, so if you want to attend you should go to Stockton's web page and become familiar with what they have to offer. LCMR players who have attended this camp in the past have thoroughly enjoyed it and have learned a great deal. If you don't have a volleyball you should go buy one. You can get decent ones (for practicing) at Walmart for about $5 to $10. You will also need kneepads as well. We use a text messaging system called "Remind".
