After a week of of clinics, twenty 9th graders tried out for the 2016 Lady Hilltoppers Volleyball Team. Despite not officially having a 9th grade team, the goal is to give these young ladies the opportunity to develop as players, teach them the game and see them in action against other 9th graders.
Thank you to all the 9th graders who gave of their time, their effort and their heart to try to make this team. This was not an easy process for the girls and the emphasis and goal for the entire week was IMPROVEMENT! I am happy to say that goal was achieved in spades by every 9th grader who participated.
However, not having a dedicated 9th grade coach forces the current staff to make the season's experience as fruitful as possible for the incoming 9th graders with limited practice time as they will be expected to contribute significantly next year for the program. To achieve this, the number of touches in a practice and competition need to maximized and therefore, the number of athletes restricted.
After a careful assessment of the current skill set of the incoming 9th graders, the following young women have been selected to represent the Lady Hilltoppers Volleyball Team at the 9th grade level.
