2 sessions in October indoors @ LOCATIONS TBD, DATES AND TIMES TBD
Our cost for all open gyms is $10. No pre-registration is required.
Open Gyms are available for anyone to attend (who is new to the group) and interested in trying out indoors- a coach (or coaches) will be there to answer questions. Open gyms are a great way to check the group out (culture), meet new friends, play with friends (AND COACHES!!), and see where you are skill-wise alongside other peers, before any sort of commitment.
Galaxy holds our indoor tryouts in November to allow for most of the NCHSAA season to be completed AND to let middle school-age players develop during their school volleyball seasons.
So enjoy the high school and middle school seasons.
