The JV, reserve and freshman volleyball teams start their seasons next week.  All three teams will play on Thursday, Aug. 29 at Norfolk High School. 

The JV team plays at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Last year, team chemistry helped contribute to the team taking runner-up at the City Tournament. Sophomore Karli Symonsbergen hopes for the team to reach that level of communication again.

“This year, certain people have connections [on the team] but we’re all still learning how to play together.” Symonsbergen said. “It should smooth out as the season goes on.”

Also on Thursday at 5:30 p.m., the freshman team kick off their season. Last year, the team ended the year as City Runner-Up. Though the team is made entirely of new players, they’re getting to know each other just fine. 

“I’m more excited than nervous,” freshman Berkeley Bales said. “[The team chemistry] is really good, and it’ll work better as the year goes on, I’m excited for all the games.”

The reserve team will play at 6:30 p.m. They claimed the City Championship last year in the 2018-2019 season.
