SMS does ask that all participating students pay a user fee that is used to pay for officiating at HSD tournaments and banner costs. Additional funds will be collected if the student needs to buy a team jersey (to be kept by the student).
The fee for volleyball is $40 for grade 8s and $30 for grade 7s for the 2023 season.
Teams will order uniform shirts for an additional $25 per player. Players who already own a shirt need not order a new one.
The 2023 season begins the week of October 2 and continues for six weeks, followed by play-offs for grade 8 teams.
Please note that HSD buses will be used exclusively for game transportation. Parents can bring their own student to and from games but may not offer transportation to other students.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. We look forward to seeing you at our games.
Al Thiessen,
SMS Athletic Director
