Lakes Volleyball Philosophy Regarding Teams And Team Selection:

Determination of teams is based on individual skill level and position within each team in order to create the strongest most competitive team roster. Player assessments were/are made by unbiased coaches and evaluators according to the tryout criteria, and team structure was reviewed by the proper Lakes Volleyball committee/board.

Lakes Volleyball reserves the right to move players before and during the season in order to strengthen the team and offer opportunity for each player.
