Volleyball is no different than other community team sports. Players are expected to attend practices and tournaments throughout the season. If you play on a 12-14U team (fair play rules) and miss too many practices or tournaments you are being unfair to your teammates who regularly show up. If you are playing on an older age group team and you miss practices, the harder it will be for coaches to give you court time. While we do work with other sports schedules, make sure you don’t have any conflicts.
