The policy of Jackson Hole Volleyball is to leave that decision to the athlete and his or her parents or guardians. We expect 100% commitment to the program and the team, as do school coaches for their programs. When there are scheduling conflicts between school and club sports participation, this does not allow 100% commitment and can cause problems for everyone involved. Studies show that athletes participating in multiple sports programs during a season have low skill improvement and that they are more prone to suffer from over-training injuries. Participating in multiple sports is also a major time commitment when trying to balance family, academic, social, and other activities. Please heavily consider the impact on you and your potential teammates if you plan on participating in club volleyball and doing a school sport during the same season.
