  3. Have taught and coached here past 2 years • Baseball through Derry Little League/Teener League/High School • “The girl that pitched the 0-1 playoff game” • Softball High School/College at SRU • Volleyball through Derry High School • Sophomore – 2nd Team All Section • Junior – 1st Team All Section, 2nd Team All WPIAL • Senior – 1st Team All Section, 1st Team All WPIAL Coach Z’s Biography

  4. Please use school email as first form of communication • Jordan.Zeunges@glsd.us • In an emergency situation, or last minute, please use my cell phone • 724-787-7384 Coach Z’s Information

  5. Good attitudes • Good work ethic • Good character • Volleyball is important.. But who they are and who they become is more important What I’m All About…

  6. About 60 girls last year for Open Gyms • Unfortunately I can only keep 20-30 MAX. • Uniforms, Coaches, Preparing girls for next year… • White Squad/Practice Squad • Success story at Derry my 8th grade year • Girl was “cut” in 7th grade, went to practice squad practices, made varsity team & saw some playing time Unfortunately…

  7. Try outs will be the last week of January • Plenty of time to learn, study, and practice • “Cuts” are made considering perceived potential, attitude, “coachability,” etc. (not JUST skill) • Two teams of roughly 10-15 girls • Not solely based on grade, more talent • Black Squad – “Varsity” • Orange Squad – “JV” Try Outs

  8. EVERYONE who comes to practices will have a chance to purchase team warm ups • Black/Orange squad will have option to put numbers on clothing • White squad will receive a paw print or wildcat logo instead of number • Player/Parent is solely responsible for $ Team Warm Ups

  9. I expect team players all day, every day, no matter what • Always strive to be better than someone • Always help others to be better, even if that means better than you • Work to earn a spot, & work to KEEP a spot • Nothing is given • Never ask about playing time, but what you need to improve on • Maddox vs. Roethlisberger… Team Players

  10. Ben was the No. 3 QB behind Tommy Maddox andCharlie Batch. Batch was injured in the preseason, Roethlisberger moved up to no. 2. • Maddox started, and won, the season opener against theRaiders and started versus the Ravens. • After an ineffective outing and third-quarter injury to Maddox, Roethlisberger stepped in for his first NFL action. Maddox's injury changed the Steelers' original plan for Roethlisberger, which was for him to sit on the bench or play sparingly during the first season or two in order to learn the team's system. • Instead, he started the third game of the season. As a rookie, he went 13-0 in the regular season Tides can turn… Life Lessons

  11. More lenient in junior high than in high school • Ski Club – Will work with it, MAY have some Fridays off. • Track – DO IT!  The more sports (for now) the better the athlete • Won’t interfere once in high school • Cheerleading, will have to pick between the 2 in 9th grade • Unacceptable reasons to miss practice • Hair/nail appointments • Doctor/Dentist appointments • Injuries (still should come support your team & learn the game/plays) • Concerts/Professional Sporting Events • No ride – call a friend, call anyone Commitment, Dedication, Sacrifice

  12. AVOID vacations in August (8th graders) • Senior High Season starts as early as 2nd week of August • Look into playing club volleyball/JO’s • Keystone Volleyball Club – closest (Google KVC) • Try outs November 9th 2-5pm @ Seton Hill Univ. • From August on, practices are mandatory • Was not early enough in past years to get word out, but believe I am this year. 8th GRADERS

  13. Watch youtube videos • Watch more youtube videos • Passing, Blocking, Setting,Hitting, Serving, Games… US Olympic Vball, PSU… • Practice footwork in a mirror • Get a ball for at home • Practice, Practice Practice! • Don’t break anything STUDY & PRACTICE

  14. All dates on calendar are subject to change • Will communicate using Remind messaging App if change occurs • Note differences in times on different days • Calendar can also be found on my teacher web page • GLSD.us Senior High School  Teachers  Jordan Zeunges  7th and 8th Grade Volleyball Calendar

  15. Have fun & gain skills, knowledge, and confidence! • Wear athletic clothes (no jean shorts, cami’s, crop tops, etc.) • Pull hair back (hair tie) • Bring water bottle (filled w/ water) • Wash face/take off make up • We’re not here to look good, we’re here to play hard and sweat • Leave cell-phones in bags • No using phone during practice/drink breaks Open Gyms

  16. I do not monitor locker room before practice • I expect all girls to act as is being there is a privilege, that can be taken away • Leave valuables at home, or at least bring with them into gym • I expect girls to begin putting up nets 10-15 minutes before start time • Everyone helps Open Gyms

  17. Knee Pads – smaller = better (so the girls think…) Equipment - OPTIONAL

  18. Volleyball shoes – two most popular are Mizuno and Asics Equipment - OPTIONAL

  19. Girls will NEED black spandex for games • Spandex is NOT necessary for practices • I ask that you purchase a pair of black Nike pro with the 5” inseam Spandex

  20. Girls will come out of building to the LEFT of the Jr. High Office Doors • I come out and wait for rides shortly after gathering my belongings and locking up Pick - Up

  21. Figure out when physicals are needed! • I am looking into this with Mr. Mears and will send a Remind message & post on website when figured out. Thanks for your patience! Reminders to self…
