7th Grade Spring Training Team Rosters      

   Express Training Home   

The following players scored the best at Tuesday's tryout session.  If your number is listed below in white then you should plan on starting practice Monday, March 17th at 4:40.  If you are listed as an alternate you do not need to be here on Monday.  We will keep your contact information and get a hold of you if we have an injury or unforeseen need to drop a player.   Any players not listed below will not be joining us this session but should look for our summer schedule which includes a summer league, camps, another Express Training Team Session, and private lessons.  Just because you didn't score high enough on Tuesday does not mean you won't make a team next session.  Camps are 1st come 1st serve and are the next best way to get touches on the ball and receive instruction.  No checks will be kept for players who did not make this tryout.  They will be voided and destroyed.  

The 7th grade teams will be treated as if they were JO teams preparing for tournaments.  Practices will include individual and team concepts with scrimmage play being built in as we proceed.  We've got great coaches teaching across the board and 7th grade is no exception.  Your 7th grade trainers are accomplished coaches who have bought in to our mission of making better volleyball players outside the JO and school season.  Sports Express is lucky to have them as a part of this activity.  Players may get shuffled some as we proceed to resolve OHSAA rules issues or other practice needs.  7th and 8th grade teams will be finalized by the beginning of week 3.  They will all scrimmage each other and may share players for drill purposes (ie setters training together).

Coach Jeni Case is the Varsity Head Coach at Ursuline Academy and has coached 17 seasons of JO volleyball.   Jeni will be assisted by Brooke Maher a senior All-City all-around player who will play for the University of Evansville next season.

Coach Amanda Schuler is the Varsity Head Coach at Kings High School and has coached 12 years of JO volleyball.   She is the coach of both the U12 and U14 Sports Express JO teams and is a private instructor as well.  Amanda will be assisted by Logan Shircliff an all-around player at Kings High School.

What to do now:  If you are going to miss a practice it is not necessary to call but we'd like to hear from you if you must miss more than 1 in a row.  We take teams in 16 player groups because we know players will be sick or have other commitments from time to time.  We'd like to have at least 12-14 players at each practice for scrimmage and drill purposes.  Players will receive team shirts during week 2.
