In our district everyone starts Freshman year. Some go to Lexington to play Club. Starting at the middle school and elementary level would make our district alot better. When my daughter started her freshman year, she played freshman, VJ, and Varsity. Now that makes me tired just thinking about it.

That is the way to start a Quality Program . You defiantely need to start in elementary school We have instructional volleyball in the third grade with team play beginning in the fourth in a parochial grade school league .

This has been going on for years in the NKY Parochial schools . I imagine it is the same in the Louisville Parochial Schools .

Yes it is. My daughter started at age 3, playing with 4 and 5 year olds at OVVC on a mostly parochial kindergarten team. These kids were overhand serving and spiking by 3rd grade. We started as public, but switched to catholic early on - NOT for sports.

 

My kid used to get a lot of love from Kordes and other coaches, until she quit growing. :lol: I miss volleyball a LOT, but she didn't have a chance at either Mercy or Assumption at 5' nuthin and 80 pounds.

 

I will confirm one thing. It was all parochial school kids there, even at an early age whe anyone could just show up and be put on a team. I don't recall more than a handfull of public kids there, though I think more play club ball these days. My kid's 8th grade class had 16 girls, and 15 played volleyball. The other was a state champion gymnist.
