· Generally meet 4 times/week for practices and games, although sometimes only 3 times.
· JV/V girls play a series of Quad Matches, usually on Saturdays. During these games we will play 3 other teams in one day. This saves families from having to drive 3 evenings to play farther opponents.

§ The above dates are set to the best of my ability.
§ September 20-21 is the Pilot Invitational in South Bend, IN. JV plays on Friday and Varsity on Saturday. There will be an option to spend the night with the team at a local Christian camp. JV players may choose to commute and not spend the night.
§ September 26 - 28 will be an overnight in Indiana for the Midwest Volleyball Championship. This should be a very exciting tournament to play in! We were excited to add this to our schedule last year. Everyone had a blast!. We ask that players make every effort to attend this tournament in order for the entire team to be able to enjoy a weekend of quality volleyball. **Families are responsible for the additional cost of hotel/food. We make every effort to keep this as low as possible!
§ HRK JV/V teams play against homeschool teams and area private schools, most within an hour away. JV/V teams are part of the HSWIL Conference.
