Welcome to another year of Volleyball at Goldenview Middle School! Since Goldenview has opened we have had a tradition of excellence in Academics, Music, Arts, and Athletics. One of our most accomplished programs has been our volleyball program. We have won nine City Championships, several JV1/2/3 Championships, trained countless players who have moved on to play for their respective high school, and even had some future collegiate stars. Our current former players and current collegiate stars include: Sarah Johnson - UAA, Lindsey Logan - UAA, and Shelby Stoner - Adelphi. Since our school began we have had over 2400 players who have made the commitment to join our team and represent their school. We hope that you will join us for another amazing season. Below you will see a list of common questions about our program. Most questions about the upcoming season will be answered there. Please check back to this website often as teams and game schedules will be listed here! Go Suns!

Do we play
against other schools? Yes! Each team participates in one jamboree and two head-to-head games. The format has changed this year! While we don’t know which team or on what
days you will be playing now, the game schedule is available
on-line here. There are six games
days/jamborees listed here, but remember that your team will only play in
three of these. In the head-to-head
games, we will play Hanshew and Mears.
On the jamboree days, which are held on Saturday’s and spread
throughout Anchorage; you will play a set against each school
represented. More information will be
coming about this once we know all the details. |

We will order team
shirts for games. You will also need
to have black shorts (black GVMS gym shorts are ideal, no spandex at middle school volleyball), good volleyball or
cross-training shoes, and knee pads.
Many inexperienced players attempt to wear running shoes. Running shoes have wonderful grip, but zero
ankle support. It is not a matter of
if, but more like “when” will the injury happen? Players really need good volleyball shoes or cross-trainers that provide ankle
support. Many experienced players use
“Active Ankles”, but these should only be worn with a doctor’s
recommendation. Knee pads are required.
Volleyball shoes and knee pads can be found at Sports Authority or Eastbay at some reasonable prices. If you would like to shop locally, please
see the Female Athlete! |

What team
will I be on? Just like in all areas of life, we all have a skill level. Some players are more advanced, some are in the middle, and some are beginners. We want all of our ladies to participate with GVMS Volleyball regardless of your current skills. Whatever skills you possess now, we will make you better! That being said, we have several teams in which you could be placed. We have a Varsity/JV 1 for our more advanced players, JV2/JV3 for our intermediates and C-Teams for our beginning or developing players. On Thursday, October 11th, and Friday, October 12th, we will have tryouts for sorting you into teams. EVERYONE who chooses to participate will be placed on a team! *7th Grade Tryouts are on Thursday, October
11th at 3:00 p.m. *8th Grade Tryouts are on Friday, October 12th at 3:00 p.m. |

When do we
practice? If you are invited to play with the Varsity or JV1, JV2, or JV3, you will practice in the morning from 6:30 – 8:00 a.m. If you have made our C-Team program, you will practice most days from 3:00 – 4:20 p.m. Please have a ride by 4:30 p.m. Your coaches have other responsibilities and do not have the time or patience to wait around after school for students to be picked up late. If you can’t get a ride by 4:30, you should not participate with volleyball. If you are invited to the morning practice, but can’t be there in the AM for any reason, you will still play, but on the C-Team program. Participating with the Varsity/JV programs is a privilege, but there is a sacrifice for our students, parents, and coaches. The reason our practices are split between morning and afternoon is we regularly have 160+ students participate with volleyball. If we didn’t split our practices we would have 40+ students per volleyball court. We feel this would not be safe or appropriate to learning or teaching volleyball. Our program is generally double what other schools have in the District. |
