Playing Time:
We have won the Central Jersey Group 1 State Sectional Championship the previous 4 seasons. We are looking forward to another great season in the fall of 2024.
We have a junior varsity and varsity level. There is no guarantee of making either squad. We can only take a certain number of players and the first few practices the coaches will evaluate the players to determine who will make the team and at what level. We are a performance-based program. We will look at skill level, ability, effort, attitude, teamwork and other factors to determine who makes the team and at what level. Through the season, based on performance, players can move up or down between JV and Varsity. Playing time in games is not guaranteed. JV we try to get everyone playing time, maybe not every match, game but at least some time throughout the season. Playing
JV is to improve a player’s skills and knowledge of the game, so they can strive to someday make Varsity (making Varsity is never guaranteed). With Varsity games, the
best players get playing time. Making Varsity does not guarantee one will play in games. Varsity is strictly based on performance and skill; seniority does not matter.
All players are expected to attend every practice and every game. JV players will be asked to help out at Varsity games doing scorebook, libero tracker, line judge
and anything else that may be needed. Varsity players in the same respect will be asked to help out at JV games with the same duties.
Parents:
As a team to have a successful season we need the help of parents. There are events that need to be planned throughout the season. One event is Senior night and
another is Dig Pink. Dig Pink happens each October, the Dayton Volleyball Girls hold their Annual Dig Pink Rally to raise money for Side-Out Foundation. The Side-Out
Foundation provides grants for breast cancer research and support for families fighting that unfortunate battle. The girls are always incredibly excited and we ask for support
from the parents, as well as, the community to make Dig Pink successful. Any help from parents throughout the season to organize events is greatly appreciated.
