What if I play other sports?
Club volleyball is a significant financial and time commitment and should be treated as such. We will make every effort to schedule practices around prior known athletic commitments. Ashland Volleyball Club understands the importance of school activities: therefore, school activities are considered equal importance to Regional level club teams. However, our teams require dedication on the part of the athlete for the team to be a success. This means that missed practices could result in forfeiture of playing time.
