Welcome to Kaepa Borderline Juniors' 2011-2012 Season!

Practice Schedule

The practice schedule through February 12 is posted. This should be the last week of doubling up and practicing only on the weekends. Tournaments start the next weekend (2/18-19) so we won't be having many weekend practices. We won't be using Millett Hall much the entire month of February.

The last of the skills sessions are posted. We won't have much access to extra courts for them after February 12. Registration is available on the website.

Skills Clinics

We have posted a new hitting and setting session for next Monday, January 30. These sessions with the Miami staff have been very popular and athletes that have attended several of them have improved immensely. We have neglected working on other skills because of the interest in hitting. You can't be a very successful hitter if you don't have passing.

We are offering a session on serve receive and forearm passing this Saturday, January 28 from 9:30-11 am. Lisa Treadway, Miami outside hitter and defensive specialist (she coached 15 Silver last season also), will conduct this session with Bill Zehler. This session is not just for Liberos and defensive specialists. We can't hit if we don't pass!

Shoes

13s-17s should be issued two pairs of Kaepa Quick shoes: white/silver and black. The last of the white/silver shoes will be distributed on Sunday at pictures. The toes of some of the black shoes were leaving marks on the floors. Kaepa issued every athlete a new pair of white/silver shoes to remedy the situation. All members of the 11 Lizards, 12 Horned Frogs, and 12 Twisters are going to have a pair of the white/silver volleyball shoes.

All teams should wear the black shoes for pictures. They should also be worn when we go to tournaments on Sports Court. The white/silver shoes should be worn when playing or practicing on hardwood surfaces. We hope the toes of the black shoes (some don't leave marks) stop leaving a mark so we can use them for practice and competition. Kaepa is really going the extra step to make sure we are outfitted with the best product available!

Youth (10s'-12s') Teams

We need more athletes for our 10s', 11s', and 12s' teams! We have a great coaching staff and tournament schedules in place. The next practices are Saturday, January 21, from 9-11 am or 3-5 pm. You can attend either session. Please let us know!

Borderline Handbook 2012

The Borderline Handbook details general information, fees and due dates, rules, grievance procedures, and much more... it's required reading for all Borderline athletes!

Uniform Requirements

Remember that we are "Kaepa" Borderline for a reason! As our sponsor, they dictate that we wear everything Kaepa! Several of our athletes are wearing shorts and shoes that start with an "M" to tournaments. You need to wear the gear you were issued by us at all events and must wear it to the OVR Kaepa-USA® Junior Championships! Any items we do not provide are excluded (kneepads, socks, team bags).
