Practices
Practices start the first week in August and run through October. Practice will be held at UBT Sports Complex, a newer facility with all the equipment we need to ensure top-quality training for our athletes. Practices will be at the same time for all teams this year on Tuesday/Thursday evenings from 6-8 pm. There are some exceptions check below for some of those exceptions and always double-check the calendar at the bottom of the page for specifics.
High School Girls will have 4 extra optional practices in July to provide extra practice before “tryouts.” Tryouts will be the first Monday and Tuesday in August. These tryouts are simply to determine which High School team your athlete will be placed on, we do NOT turn girls away based on skill. 8th graders are welcome to come try out for a JV team, if they do not make a JV team they will play on the Junior High 8 team.
Junior High & Elementary girls begin practices the second week in August. There are no tryouts for Junior High and Elementary teams!
Boys begin official practices the first week of August with four optional practices in July.
Both boys and High School Girls will have 3 practices the first two weeks of the season
Omaha volleyball classic
During the third weekend in September we host our annual Omaha Volleyball Classic tournament. We expect everyone in the program to contribute whether that be helping take admission, assisting in the preparation and planning, or simply coming and cheering our teams on! This is a great opportunity to get to know one another and connect with the other teams.
year-end celebration
After the season is over, we will join together for our last hurrah! Food, speeches, and games will fill the night as we reflect back on the season and spend one last night together… until next year!
