Volleyball is currently offered to students in 5th-12th grade. Our regular season will run from roughly August 5 – October 25.
Current Registration Fee: Grade school $150.00 and High school $275.00
Required Equipment: Each Participant will be required to bring their own knee pads, tennis shoes, water bottle, and appropriate attire.
Practices: Teams will usually practice 2 days each week. We will refrain from holding practice on game days.
Games: We anticipate the teams will play 10-15 games at locations throughout the greater Milwaukee/S.E. Wisconsin area. Game schedule will be posted on the calendar, as information becomes available.
Tournaments and Travel: We will participate in a number of local tournaments. Members of the high school team may participate in one or more tournaments that require an overnight stay.
Absence from Team Activities: Players are expected to support their team throughout the season at both practices and the games. Absence from practices and games will result in reduced playing time.
High School Competitive Level:
WCHSA has one or two High School team with the level of play partially dependent on the ages of the girls on the team each year. All players will have the same opportunities in practice to work hard, improve their skills, and grow as a team! There are 6 players on the court with distinctly different roles that will be filled based on each player’s unique skills. Playing time in each match at the Varsity level is not guaranteed for each player, but the effort, growth and presence during practices and games is important for team cohesion, as well as an opportunity for the coaches to train up players and use each girl’s unique strengths to maximize team effectiveness on and off the court.
Player Requirements: Character- Players are expected to exhibit Christian behavior and attitudes as they strive to glorify God through their witness both on and off the court.
All Teams: A willingness to learn and improve, a commitment to the team practice and game schedule, and a sound work ethic are a prerequisite for participating.
Parent Requirements: We expect our parents to participate in our organization by striving to act in a Christ-like manner. Additionally, our organization is made up entirely of volunteers (including our coaches). It is critical to our organization’s success that parents give of their time and talents by proactively volunteering in WCHSA planning, programs, coaching, and activities.
Number of Players: Each team will consist of 7 to 10 players. We must have a minimum of 7 players to constitute each viable team.
Commitment to Spiritual and Physical Youth Protection: WCHSA will make every reasonable effort to meet each player’s spiritual and physical needs. Some ways we hope to accomplish this are by:
- Interviewing each coach and requiring that they express a clear profession of faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior
- Requiring at least two board-approved adults at each practice session; for boys, at least one of which will be an adult man — and for girls, at least one of which will be an adult woman
- Encouraging appropriate attitude, behavior, and actions during all practices and games
- Discouraging spectators from attending practice times to reduce player distraction and allow players and coaches to better focus on team objectives.
