Varsity will attend the Over the Mountain Hoover Tournament in Hoover, AL this weekend. We will leave after 2nd period (9:30) on Friday. Below are the pools and brackets.
The River City Tournament for Varsity is this Friday and Saturday. I will be emailing details to the Varsity players and parents soon.
3:00 - Hit around for both JV and V
JV/V practice will end early at 5:00 in order to accommodate 7th and 8th grade try-outs.
7th and 8th grade try-outs will be held tomorrow from 5:00-7:30. There will be a JV/V Parent Meeting Thursday, August 6th at 5:30pm. At least one parent of each player needs to be present at this meeting. If you are unable to attend, please email me.
Coach Hall The Junior Varsity and Varsity Volleyball Teams will be selling Tumbler cups for our Fundraiser this year. There are a total of eight different designs that we are selling: Harding Lions, University of Memphis, Memphis Grizzlies, University of Tennessee, University of Mississippi, University of Alabama, Breast Cancer Awareness and Encouraging Words. Each cup is $18 dollars. Each girls goal is to sell 30 cups; however, we want the girls to sell as many as they possibly can in two weeks. The fundraiser will end on Monday, August 17th. Everything needs to be turned in on that Monday at 3:00pm (the beginning of practice) including all the money for the ordered cups. The girls have many incentives to reach their sell goal. If she sells 30 cups, she will receive a pull-over with the Harding Volleyball logo. If she sells 45 cups, she will receive either a backpack or bag with the Harding Volleyball logo. For every cup over 45 that she sells, she will receive $2 per cup. The girls have also been put on teams. The teams are listed below. The team goals include holding each other accountable and receiving incentives, such as a cash price for a member of the group. This is a great opportunity to raise money for our volleyball program!

Houston Play Day: We will be participating in Houston's play day on August 8th. Varsity will be playing at Houston's gym, and Junior Varsity will be playing at Harding's gym. We will have a parent organize food at each location. Brentwood Play Day: We will be playing in the Brentwood play day on August 15th. Varsity and JV will play back to back for a total of 10 matches (50 minute time limits). We will be traveling to Brentwood on Friday, August 14th. The Back to School Bash is also the night of the 14th. We will be participating in the bash and leaving immediately after the bash ends. We are going to even try to have the cars packed before the bash starts. Normally for JV and Varsity over-night trips, we have parents drive. I need to know what parents are planning on driving and how many players can fit into their car. I know this is a late time to travel, so I need to know a car count so that I can make other arrangements if I need to. We will be staying at the Baymont Inn in Brentwood, TN (111 Penn Warren Drive, Brentwood, TN 37027). I have reserved rooms for all the players, managers and coaches. Parents will need to call for rooms if they plan on going with us. Tell Baymont that you are with the Harding Academy Volleyball Team to get the discounted price. We will only be staying Friday night. After JV and V finish on Saturday, we will drive back. Again, we will have a parent organize food for the trip. More details about food accommodations for both play days will be communicated soon! I will also communicate details about matches (times and opponents) as soon as the schedules are sent. Sometimes it can be last minute. :) |
