2025 Rockvale Middle School

Volleyball Summer Schedule

Summer practice is not optional, if your daughter makes the team they must attend EVERY summer practice. Missing practice for other sports during our season is unacceptable. Commitment to the team is their priority.  Please keep in mind if practice starts at 8:30, that means your daughter is in the gym ready to go BEFORE 8:30; we will open the gym doors 15 minutes prior to practice.  All practices are at Rockvale Middle School and players need to be dropped off at the back of the school.  Athletes need; their assigned t-shirt, shorts, kneepads, water/Gatorade and appropriate footwear every day.  We encourage athletes to bring sweats/long pants and perhaps a long sleeve shirt to wear during lunch time.

This summer we will be having some two a days; your daughter needs to be dropped off in the morning, with a sack lunch or snack.  We will be spending the lunch and afternoon time, team building.   Please make sure your daughter comes into the building with their lunch, and we do not have to interrupt our practices for lunches being delivered.

10-12 Varsity players will be attending the MTSU Middle school team camp. These days are not optional for the varsity players.
