Hello athletes and families,
I have been receiving questions regarding practice times and dates throughout the summer, so I wanted to post what I know so far. As I receive information and confirm dates and times, I will post it on the blog. In the meantime, please hold tight with your questions about specific "times".
The weight room coach (Mark Hammond) is continuing his sessions with "in season" athletes at this time. He had low attendance from out of season athletes so he cancelled the later sessions. He did however say that anyone interested in attending may contact him to attend a session. I strongly encourage all athletes to do so BEFORE the summer begins! I would like to see all athletes continue to weight lift and work out with Coach Hammond throughout the summer as well. He will post a schedule later in the school year to let you know what times he will have sessions throughout the summer. His email is Mark.Hammond@osumc.edu if you are unable to go and see him after school and would like more information.
Please mark your calendars...
June17-June 20 - (9-11:30AM) Camp for kids
We'd love to have everyone come out and help with the summer camp. You may receive service hours for helping. This is also a great way to get some touches on the volleyball!
Tentative Dates - I'm working on confirming a summer play date at Newark Catholic on July 15, July 22, and July 29. The head coach will confirm with me in May so please be patient. This would be from 4-6pm and would be in place of open gyms if we are able to reserve a spot.
VOLLEYBALL TEAM CAMP WITH OTTERBEIN COACH MONICA MCDONALD - July 24, July 25, July 26 We strongly encourage all girls to attend this camp. We purposefully pushed to schedule this at the end of summer so we could go right into the season after getting together as a team. We are working with Gahanna Christian to confirm times of camp, but Wednesday and Thursday will most likely be at night with a play day on Friday morning possibly at Gahanna Christian. (Waiting on confirmation that their gym is available). We will also be posting the cost of camp once we match up times with GCA on our camp. Information with be available as I receive it.
