Time Investment:

• Season runs 8/5/2026-approx 10/31/2026 for C and JV teams and thru 11/14 for Varsity.

• Practice begins 8/10. Varsity and JV may practice twice a day before school starts.

• Practice or match minimum 2 hours per day 4-6 days per week with an occasional tournament on a few Saturdays throughout the season.

• Home matches– Varsity works C team matches, C team works JV matches and JV works Varsity matches. All teams are expected to stay and support Varsity home games.

• Attendance is mandatory to all practices, games, scrimmages, tournaments and team functions. Appointments and vacations should be scheduled around volleyball if possible. When an athlete accepts a spot in the South Volleyball Program they are making a commitment to themselves, teammates and coaches and are expected to be at all events.

• Fundraising is expected at all levels which include banner sales, coffee sales, and working South Camp the following summer.

‍ ‍Registration Information is New:

Beginning with the 2026-37 school year, the Alaska School Activities Association (ASA) will transition to a new School Activities Reporting System (SARS) platform powered by Arbiter Registration. Parents and students will need to create a new Arbiter Registration account and upload a current physical, as existing BigTeams account information cannot be transferred. Families should create one shared Family account rather than separate accounts for each user.

• Parents and students may begin creating their new Arbiter Registration Family accounts starting July 6, 2026.

• Online payment of sports fees on Q Parent Connect will be available July 13th.

• The Activities Office will be open to issue Golden Tickets on July 24th from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Important Program Standards to Note:

• You must hold a 2.0 GPA to be eligible to play but we expect a 3.0. All freshmen are immediately eligible their first year. We are students first and strive for success in the classroom.  We do grade checks periodically throughout the season.

• All rules in the ASD Activities Handbook are adhered to.
