Reminders and Updates


Dear Families and Athletes,

PLEASE REMEMBER all students interested in playing volleyball MUST complete a sports physical PRIOR to team tryouts. Columbus Academy is again offering convenient and FREE Pre-participation Physical Exams (PPEs) on Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Physicals begin at 5:45 for Upper School and 6:45 for Middle School Students.  Parents are encouraged to come and fill out medical release forms as well. More information is available here. 

Our Tryout Start Date is August 6, 2012: Please refer to our calendar for practice times (see left blog column). Team Photos are August 13th. The team photo time is TBA.  

Team Camp: LAST CALL for signups for TEAM CAMP in June with Coach McDonald from Otterbein. If you are still interested, please let Coach Dow know and turn in your check with shirt size to him at school during Activities Period.

Team T-Shirts: If you plan to play volleyball next year and are NOT attending team camp, but ARE interested in purchasing our "team volleyball shirt", please give $6 to Coach Dow with your name and shirt size written on a piece of paper ASAP.  If you pay by check, please make it out to Monica McDonald. We will wear these shirts during the volleyball season. If you ARE attending team camp your shirt is included with the price of camp so you do NOT need to do this.  You will receive a shirt at camp.  

MS Camp Service Credit: If you will be helping out with the Middle School Volleyball camp, please email Coach Roehrenbeck (or Coach Dow) to let us know. You will get service hours credit for it and it's a great chance to get in the gym before camp as well. The Middle School Camp is June 18-21st from 9:00-11:30.  Thanks so much for your help, and we hope you all can attend!

Please spread the word about these updates and encourage all parents and athletes to subscribe to the blog so that all of these emails are received directly to your email addresses!  We look forward to seeing you all soon!
