We are excited to share with you that coming this fall the Perkins Family YMCA will sponsor the development of a Volleyball Club for students in grades 6th through 12th.
The Volleyball Club will provide interested students the opportunity to compete with other clubs or private schools’ athletic teams in our region. This program is to help students learn about dedication, organization, teamwork, and communication. SMMHS Volleyball Club team members will benefit physically from full-body exercises, increased mental stability and enhanced lifestyle skills both on and off the court.
Our hope for this program is that after three successful years of athletic competition, the Volleyball Club would become an official High School sport, falling under the direction of Talbot County Public Schools athletic department for students in grades 9th through 12th, with a Middle School “feeder team” team that would continue to run through the Perkins Family YMCA.
To help us get this club off the ground we are launching a fundraising campaign to support the start-up cost which includes equipment, uniforms, and game related fees. Please note that should the club transition to the direction of St. Michaels High School, the equipment purchased using funds raised through this campaign would be granted to the High School, but will stay with this program.
We are reaching out to our dedicated families, local businesses, and community organizations to ask for your help in achieving our fundraising goal of $5,000. Your generosity can make a significant impact on the lives of our students.
