Just a reminder to get those youth volleyball camp forms in by Thursday, May 16th. Attention Parents of Girls entering 3rd - 8th Grades Interested in Volleyball: I have attached a link to the youth volleyball camp form. If you use the form to type in your information, please make a copy first. 😀 I have had to change the times to accommodate for the possibility that the CLJ gym will not be able to used this summer due to construction projects. Also, there are supposed to be new scoreboards installed some time in June which could impact when we have camp. Obviously, changing dates is not ideal, but I am at the mercy of the installers. If something should change, I will alert you via Social Media and hopefully a text notification. Fingers crossed everything goes according to plan. Please let me know if you have any questions. 💜🏐💜 https://tinyurl.com/Youth-Volleyball-Camp-Form Coach Ratka
