Players WILL be required to bring a volleyball to EVERY practice and EVERY tournament.
Fundraising - The Mouse Race fundraiser will strictly go for Nationals. Candle and Super Bowl Squares will be used to offset any club dues. These details will be discussed at our parent meetings.

Most teams will have a couple of practices in December. However, times and locations have not yet been set. That will be the coach’s decision.
Prior to the parent meeting you need to register your daughter on gatewayvb.org. Denote Blue Steel VBC as your intended club. Do not pay for your membership fee online-that will be included in your club fees. If you played club last year, you will renew your membership.
