Any girls interested in trying out for the girls volleyball team must attend the try outs which are this week (August 30). The try outs are held at Academy of American Studies. Please understand this is the last week for try outs so please make an effort to attend if you’re interested as the roster will be created after that.
You must have the appropriate forms all filled out (please see the school website for all the forms).
Tryout times vary everyday and are as follows:
Monday 8/30: 9-11
Tuesday 8/31: 11-1
Wednesday 9/1: 11-1
Thursday 9/2: 11-1

You should email both Coach Ghafary and Ms. Sherlock the night before you plan on attending the try out date, so this can be confirmed (in case there is a cancellation).

From Coach Ghafary...
If you are interested in trying out for the Girls Volleyball Team, you must have the following forms all filled out (all the forms are on psal.org --> resources & procedures --> printable forms --> parent & student forms) :
1) Parental Consent form (please make sure your parent/guardian's initials are printed and not yours). Please make sure to fill out the osis #, and school name at the top of the form.
2) Medical form (not the school medical form, it has to be the PSAL version). There should be 4 pages to that form. Some are to be filled out by your parent/ guardian, and the rest by your doctor. Make sure it is dated and stamped by the doctor's office or else it's not valid.
Additionally, before entering the building for try outs, you must fill-out the health screen (this will be done on a daily basis). This can be found at https://healthscreening.
All of the forms mentioned above must be filled out appropriately, and brought with you on the first day of try outs.
At try outs:
I recommend that you start doing some cardio, lots of pushups and lunges and work on your core. You will be VERY sore if you don’t start working out now.
Looking forward to seeing you at try outs.
