GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL TRYOUT INFORMATION: (contact Coach Lamb if you have any questions at [email protected]) Girls Varsity and Junior Varsity Volleyball Tryouts Monday, August 1 to Wednesday, August 3 5:00 - 8:00 PM LJA Gym Girls Intermediate Volleyball Tryouts Monday, August 8 to Wednesday, August 10 5:00 - 8:00 PM LJA Gym IMPORTANT: In order to be eligible for a team, the player must be present for the tryout on the dates & times published. No exceptions. There have been a few inquiries about the need to attend tryouts in August for the Intermediate, Junior Varsity, and Varsity teams. The policy is as stated. In order to be eligible for a team, you must attend on the date of the tryout that is specific to the team the student- athlete is trying out for. Example... 7th and 8th graders must attend the Intermediate tryout and 9th - 12th graders must attend the Junior Varsity/Varsity tryout. I apologize in advance if you have already made summer arrangements or if you have extenuating circumstances that prevent your child from attending the tryout. However, no exceptions will be made. If a student-athlete does not attend, they are not eligible for a team. Because the policy is new, we do want to offer student-athletes that cannot attend tryouts the opportunity to be a manager. The manager positions will still require a "tryout" of sorts. Basically you would make arrangements with the coaching staff for your daughter to attend practice upon her return. If the coaches felt like your daughter would have a positive impact on the program in the future, they would offer her the opportunity to be a manager.

What is a manager? A manager is someone who trains with the team but does not play in ILH matches (games during the season). Furthermore, the number of opportunities that received to play in scrimmages or game like practices would be limited as well. The reason we limit these opportunities is because the priority needs to be on preparing the team for ILH matches.

We understand that the manager position is not ideal for everyone. However, we do feel like it's a good opportunity to improve skills, build continuity, and keep the student-athletes with the potential to impact the program involved. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at [email protected]. Aloha Lee Lamb, Volleyball Program Coordinator

. Girl's Intermediate - The intermediate season came to a dramatic close with an unfortunate 5-6 loss to Iolani yesterday. Chauncey and I were optimistic about our hopes of making the championship tournament, but Pac 5 Orange was able to ultimate secure a better game record.

That being said, Chauncey and I are unbelievably proud and thankful for being able to coach these girls for this season. Every day, these girls came to practice with a fantastic attitude, hilarious antics, and willingness to learn. We have improved our game record from last year and we are hoping to continue to improve further in the coming years.

For parents and anyone else interested, or potentially interested, in water polo for next season or this summer, be on the lookout for Summer program information/announcements in upcoming Dawg Pound Reviews.

Girls Varsity - With a 5-3 win yesterday against Pac 5, our girls’ team has remained undefeated throughout the regular season. With everyone healthy and rested from Spring Break, we're all stoked to finish the regular season strong and make a statement in the postseason.

Chauncey and I have been privileged to have Sophia Spengler, Sarah Tom, Maddy McClendon, and Clancy Doyle be the greatest seniors to ever exist. They have been great leaders and teammates this season and will be missed next year.
