  1. 🏐 2026 Tryouts Save the Date: 8/12-8/14 - our tryouts are scheduled to begin 8/12 at 3:30pm! We will hold three days of tryouts, Wednesday 8/12, Thursday 8/13, and Friday 8/14, all from 3:30-5:30pm at John Carroll in the Upper Gym. The following week we will begin with regular practices - weekdays from 3:30-5:30pm. Please try to plan vacations accordingly! If there are any conflicts for the first weeks of tryouts and practices please communicate them.

  2. 🙌 Giving Week - It’s Giving Week! Use the link below to support our program - every donation goes directly to volleyball and helps provide equipment, training resources, and opportunities for our players. https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/74662/donations/new?designation=boysvolleyball. We appreciate your support!

  3. 💪 Offseason Workouts & Lifts - We will continue with offseason workouts this week and next (4/20, 4/22, 4/27, and 4/29).

    • These workouts are optional, and open to any prospective players. Our focus will be on getting reps, honing volleyball skills, and building offseason strength. Come whenever you can make it and let's all get better together!
    • We have the weight room from 5:15-6pm, then the upper gym from 6-7:30pm.
    • Players feel free to come just for the volleyball portion at 6pm or vise versa - whatever works for your schedule and your training management.
    • The plan is to take the month of May off as students close out the school year, then pick back up for June & July (more details to come). We may add another week to make up for some cancellations.
    • These workouts are loaded in the calendar (see below).

  4. 📅 2026 Schedule - I have loaded the tentative schedule for the 2026 season into the JCVB iCalendar (link below). We are still in the process of adding scrimmages, I will keep this calendar up to date with what information I have. Right now, it includes all MIAA regular season games and our standard practice slots (several of which will get replaced by scrimmages).

    • JV and Varsity share the same schedule - JV game times are typically 4:00 with varsity to follow.
    • St. Paul's is hopeful to field a JV team this year, so games vs. Friends would be the only Varsity-only matchups right now.

  5. 😎 Summer Camp - July 13-17 - JC Volleyball summer camp will run July 13-17, with two sessions each day. The first session will be a Beginner Session from 12-3pm, followed by an Intermediate Session from 3:30-6:30pm. The beginner session will be primarily for students entering grades 5-7, and will be introductory and teaching elementary level skills. The intermediate session will be targeted for students entering grades 7-9 who have some familiarity with volleyball. Both levels will start with working on the fundamentals and are great ways to get some extra experience!

    • We are looking for student volunteers in the Boys & Girls volleyball program who would be interested in helping out. This is a great opportunity to earn service hours!
    • All paperwork for volunteers needs to be submitted a full month in advance of camp, so the earlier we get rolling with the administrative stuff for volunteering the better. Email me at tkutcher@johncarroll.org to indicate your interest in volunteering and I can provide more details. If you have already emailed me, you are covered for now.

  6. 🗞️ Newsletter Status - All newsletters can be found here. If you would like to be taken off the email list, please email me at tkutcher@johncarroll.org the request to do so - no offense will be taken! I'll get an automated unsubscribe button on here soon. During the season there will typically be 1 weekly newsletter communication, with more of a monthly cadence in the offseason.
