All prospective student-athletes need to be dressed out and prepared for practice.  Returning athletes should be wearing their practice uniform.
 
School policy: All students with athletic backpacks and/or other athletic equipment must check it before classes in the athletic storage located next to the Athletic Office. Please do not carry your bag to classes nor leave it in the PE Locker Room.

The Athletic Locker Room (not the PE Locker Room) will be available after school to change and then will be locked during the practice sessions. During the tryouts, please keep your belongings with you until teams have been announced and locks have been issued for the Athletic Locker Room.

 

 

ITEMS TO BRING AND/OR WEAR TO VOLLEYBALL TRYOUTS:

1. Volleyball-specific shoes or court shoes

2. Tryout shirt (Tucked in)

3. Spandex or athletic shorts (no jean shorts or items with zippers)

4. Kneepads

5. Water Bottle (with lid)

6. Backpack or Sports Bag (This is used to keep your personal items in. Please keep track of this in the gym.)

​

​

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR OR BRING THE FOLLOWING TO VOLLEYBALL TRYOUTS:

• Non-court shoes

• JEWELRY SHOULD BE REMOVED

  • Jewelry is restricted in high school volleyball.  This rule is different from club volleyball rules.

  • HIGH SCHOOL RULE: All jewelry must be removed, except small, secured studs or posts worn above the chin.  No jewelry is permitted below the chin, including string bracelets, commemorative bracelets and body jewelry. 

  • IRVB EXPECTATION: The coaching staff prefers that all jewelry be removed for training sessions and competition.

• Skin lotion.  (Lotions tend to transfer to the floor and create slick/slippery spots that are potentially dangerous.)

• Please do not bring any electronic devices (cell phones, smart watches unless approved, I-Pods, ear-pods, etc.) to the gym.

• Cell phones are to be turned OFF (or set to silent) during all training sessions

  • The IRVB program has an "unplugged" policy during all team activities - cell phones are to be left in the locker room
