Bobcat Volleyball Information
**This message is for the parents/guardians of any student who will be in girls athletics and/or will be trying out for any girls sports team(s) this school year.
I hope you had a great summer and are looking forward to a great school year. Below is some very important information to help us get the season started. Please read all the way through.
Coaching Staff
Paperwork
All players will need to turn in a 2022-2023 completed physical form, a Medical History form, and complete all online forms through Rank One. All physicals must be dated after April 1, 2022.
Players will not be able to tryout or participate in athletics until all of these forms have been completed and turned in. We are accepting the physical and medical history form electronically this year so you can email or upload those forms to rank one. Athletes in Athletics must be cleared by August 26 or they will be placed in PE.

Fees-Skyward
District Athletic Participation fee- $40
Athletic Uniform-$25 (this is the required workout clothes, 8th graders may wear their uniform from last year)
These fees can be paid through the Skyward/Revtrac system. You may purchase 2 athletic uniforms at this time if needed. If you are an 8th grader and need just shorts or just a shirt they are $13 apiece. You may also pay me directly with cash.
Athletic clothes and athletic lockers will be handed out during schedule pickup on August 8th. If you are unable to make it that day they will get them the first week of school. Lockers will only be given to athletes that are clear through Rank One.
Water
This year each player will be required to provide their own water bottle. They will be able to fill bottles at school.
Volleyball Tryouts and Practice
8th grade tryouts will begin the first day of school, August 17, 4:00pm-5:30pm. 8th grade practice will begin during 7th period athletics and end at 5:30pm daily. 7th grade tryouts will begin Thursday, August 18 at 6:30am-8:00am. 7th grade will continue to practice before school at that time. All athletes must have their athletic uniform (t-shirt and shorts) daily for practice. If athletic uniforms have not come in by the first day of school, athletes will wear their own t-shirt and shorts until they come in. Athletes also need to have tennis shoes to workout outside in everyday for practice. If an athlete in 1st period does not make the volleyball team they will remain in athletics and be a part of the off season program.
Class Period Workouts
Workouts will begin during the class period on the second day of school. 7th graders in athletics need to wear their athletic clothes to school. BMJH athletic clothes are not to be worn to school after 1st period during the day and will have consequences. I just suggest leaving an extra pair of clothes for school in their locker.
Games
Volleyball games will begin on Thursday, Sep. 1 for 7th grade and 8th grade. Each team plays once a week. Start time for those games is 4:30pm for “B” team and “A” games will start immediately afterwards about 5:30pm.
Trainer
Our athletic trainer is Jenny Brittle (brittlej@pearlandisd.org) and she splits her time between Berry Miller and JHSouth. If an athlete has an injury and it is not an emergency, the athlete needs to see the trainer before going to the doctor. Contact me or Ms. Brittle if your athlete needs to see the trainer and we will set up a time when she is on campus.
Please email Coach Krystal Williams with any questions at williamskm@pearlandisd.org. Additional information is also available on my website.
Thank you,
