Liberty High School girls’ volleyball team knew this year’s roster had exceptional players. Hitters were impressive, the defense was solid, and the setter was in control – however, they still needed to improve in order to be victorious; that happened Thursday when they beat Middletown in the state championship match.
An incredible season came to a dramatic close when the Lions went undefeated during regular season play and unbeaten in postseason tournament play, only losing against one of the nation’s premier programs in quarterfinal play.
While emotions of joy and pride run high among players on this team, some are already looking ahead to next year. Eight seniors, including four starters, will graduate next spring; their absence will be sorely felt by the Lions, who face an uphill task of replacing them.
Liberty Parks and Recreation’s youth volleyball program aims to give each participant, through participation in practices and games, an opportunity to both develop the fundamentals of volleyball and socialize more fully. All participants must conduct themselves professionally while accepting decisions made by referees fairly and sportsmanlike. Inappropriate behavior could result in forfeiture of games or dismissal from league play; any such behavior would also entail a penalty from that league altogether. In any event, Liberty Parks and Recreation reserves the right to adjust schedules at any given moment, should it be necessary.

Liberty High School Athletic Department is pleased to offer students the opportunity to participate in various sports.

The school offers scholarships that make participation in sports programs more accessible to children of all ages and ability levels so everyone can reap the benefits of physical activity while learning volleyball. Scholarships cover part of registration fees for children aged 7-18; their existence is made possible through individual and corporate donors’ donations.
Volleyball players must abide by various regulations when engaging in volleyball play. They should wear protective gear like mouthguards and kneepads and be mindful of potential head injury risks during gameplay; any time an injury occurs, they should stop immediately without trying to continue the match; players should never attempt to play when unconscious.
Prior to beginning their league season, each team must submit a signed league roster that contains all participants who meet eligibility requirements for that league. Failure to do so on time could result in forfeiture of matches by that team.
Note that any player, coach, or spectator engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct or failing to comply with Liberty Parks and Recreation and Liberty School District Facility rules could be removed from the premises – in extreme cases, this could even include being removed from a game and subjected to suspension or expulsion from their program.
