Club Tryouts

Local club volleyball teams are starting to announce tryout dates. Clubs are prohibited from having tryouts for high school age teams (U15 and up) until after the end of State. Most clubs will have tryouts during the week before Thanksgiving. They can start on November 18th and many will have them between then and that weekend.

Jammin' (Carly Stowell Foundation)

15 & 16 and 17 & 18 tryouts will be at Kentwood Main Gym from 12:30 – 4 on 11/21 (15/16 Coach is Laurie Kirkland and 17/18 coach is Elena Stowell)

Varsity Swept by Newport

The Kentlake Varsity lost 3-0 to Newport, 25-23, 25-19, 25-20. JV lost 2-1 (21-25, 25-10, 15-13) but the Freshman team improved to 2-0 sweeping Newport, 25-19, 25-21, 15-10.

Volunteers Needed

We need volunteers to help during all the home games this year. The first home match is next Thursday. The freshman and JV matches are usually at the same time, so it would be great to have Varsity parents that would help at 6pm for those, and then to have Freshman and JV parents stick around to help during the Varsity matches at 7:15pm. This way everyone helps and everyone gets to watch their kids play.

We need scorekeepers, scorebook, lines, libero tracker (probably the easiest job), ticket sellers (must be a PTSA member) and concessions (also must be a PTSA member).

Don't worry if you don't know how to do something, we can easily train you.

Please send your preferences on what you want to do to Tami Kyle (ladyblue-55 "at" comcast.net). Please volunteer to help today. We need everyone's support.

We Have Pictures!

Ward Honbo, Devyn on the Freshman team's dad, has uploaded pictures to Flickr and sent us a link. Check out his pictures of the Freshman team's game against Roosevelt. We encourage anyone else with game pictures to upload to Flickr or a similar service and send us the link to share. It only takes a few minutes and it is free.

Tweeters Needed

We need volunteers, particularly from the Freshman or JV parents, that are willing to tweet (send text messages from their cell phones to our Twitter account) in-game updates. If you are willing, please send a message to "kentlakevb at comcast.net" and we will get you signed up.
