Future Vandy Cheer team! Incoming 5th grade students to Van Devender Middle School- see cheer clinic information.
Upcoming 5th grade GIRLS:
Vandy will host our first volleyball clinic of the 2024-2025 season, for incoming 6th graders and our upcoming 7th and 8th graders. This is not mandatory but it is highly suggested that you attend if you can! You must have a valid physical to participate.
Girls are expected to wear appropriate attire and have proper equipment (athletic clothing, tennis shoes, knee pads, and a water bottle).
Please make sure you have transportation to and from practice daily. We plan to be respectful of your time and have the girls complete practice right at 10:30. Please be respectful of the coaches time and be ready to pick up girls at the end of practice.
If you are interested in playing and do not have a physical, there are flyers attached about upcoming physical clinics. Coplin offers FREE physicals from May 1-June 15 at any local Coplin Site and WV Medicine offers them on June 8th. The cost is $5.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Vandy and ask to speak to Mrs. Loyd or Ms. Walker! We cannot wait to get started and have fun practicing for our upcoming season!
Join us for the USDA free summer meals program, a wonderful initiative aimed at ensuring that children have access to nutritious meals even when school is out. This program provides free meals for children and teens in low-income areas during the summer months, helping to bridge the nutrition gap that often occurs when school meals are not available. By participating in this program, you can help support the health and well-being of children in your community, ensuring they have the fuel they need to thrive and enjoy their summer activities to the fullest.
