Middle School Girls Interscholastic Volleyball 2026 - 8th

Middle School Girls Interscholastic Volleyball

8th Grade (currently 7th grade)

Farmington Community Education offers middle school interscholastic (against other middle schools) programs - including volleyball. The interscholastic girls' volleyball program has two 7th grade teams and separately has two 8th grade teams - made up of a combination of girls from Boeckman and Dodge middle schools. There are 14 practice days at Boeckman and 10 matches against other middle schools (like Lakeville, Northfield, New Prague, and more).

The purpose of interscholastic programs is participation, involvement, and development of skills beneficial for future success. These skills include Leadership, Teamwork, Communication, Cooperation, Loyalty, Goal Setting, Work Ethic, Organization, Self-Discipline, Perseverance, and of course Sportsmanship. Adults lead practices and coach at matches.

Registrations are limited in an attempt to just have one A-team and one B-team for each grade.

There is a separate registration for 7th grade and 8th grade. Each one will have a waiting list in the event that someone from that grade cancels after having registered.

Practices will take place at Boeckman Middle School from 4:00-5:30 pm. Dodge Middle School students take the after school activity bus over to Boeckman.

Home matches will take place at Boeckman Middle School. Usually one "home" match goes from about 4:15-5:15 and a second goes from about 5:25-6:25 on that same day.

Away matches may start as early as 4:15 or as late as 4:30. The first match takes 1 hour then a second match about 10 minutes after the conclusion of the first match on that same day.

Please note that there is no school bus (transportation) to or from away matches. Student's parent/guardian is responsible for making travel arrangements to and from away matches.
