In the mid '80's the Mascenic and Belmont high school volleyball teams returned from a mid-season volleyball tournament held at Sweet Home high school in upstate New York, and both coaches, LLoyd Sheehan and John Garneau were amazed by the high quality of play. What they found in upstate NY were highly skilled high school teams and knowledgable coaches. They also discoverd that many of the NY players, played club volleyball. The seed had been planted! In 1990 HardRock opened its doors to the first group of girls interested in playing club volleyball. Players from Belmont, Oyster River, Manchester, New Ipswich, Gilford, Nashua, Sunapee, traveled to New Ipswich to play the game they loved.
HardRock was the 1st club in New Hampshire. Many great years have passed since 1990. Supportive parents and support staff, dedicated players, cooperative school districts and passionate, caring coaches have been the cornerstones of our programs success. We have raised over $3.1M in direct athletic scholorships, grants and patial scholorship opportunities for our student athletes.
Today the mission remains the same. Support every player in her dream to become a competitive high school player and for some, to compete at the college level. HardRock is proud that our theories and practices have resulted in hundreds of players developing the positive self-esteem, discipline, and self-motivated attitude that have propelled them to excellence beyond athletics.

T R Y O U T S F O R 2012
Last year for the second year in a row, we had a record number of girls trying out for our Club. We thank all of you for believing in what we do here at HardRock Volleyball as we begin our 22 nd season. Our record of graduating players who move on t o su ccessful, productive college volleyball careers is a matter of fact and public record. The majoriety of our players simply want to have successful high school volleyball careers. Whatever the reason for playing, players chose to play HardRock Volleyball because they learn new skills, improve as players, have fun, make new and lasting friendships and because we have made their volleyball experience one they will not ever forget. What makes us special is that our staff is full of dedicated, experienced, effective coaches who have been Championship high school and college level players, Championship level high school coaches, and Championship college coaches. We are proud of our well balanced blend of 17 coaches, some with 22 years of club coaching experience. In addition, our ever growing cadre of young passionate coaches are becoming the future leaders of HardRock. They bring current insights and stratigies being employed in todays competitive college game. We promise that your daughter, upon completion of the 2012 season, will be a more skillful and knowledgeable player. To all, you will experience the positive difference of HardRock Volleyball.

Please consider your other time committments in academics, social clubs/organizations, and work schedule as part of your decision to play open.
FAQs
Can I play on a travel team and play other high school sports at the same time?
Absolutely, as long as your high school team doesn't have practices that conflict with our Saturday or Sunday Tournaments. There will be three multi-day tournaments starting in January. The majority of our tournament season begins in the Spring. Softball/Tennis/Track/Lacrosse players, tend to run into some conflicts. If you are unable to make the practices or multi-day tournaments, you should play club instead. Your Open teammates will be highly motivated volleyball players who want to play in college and will expect your club volleyball team to be a very high priority for you.
Players may participate in Winter and Spring Sports as long as they can attend their training/practice and tournament schedule with minimal conflict. It is very popular for players to play basketball, be a cheerleader, swim, run track, or play softball on a travel team with very little conflict. If a player wants to participate in other school sponsored activities, they are required to review both their school schedule and club schedule with their Club Coach and Club Director. All conflicts and decisions will be made on an individual basis.
Missed Time
Players on travel teams are not permitted to miss tournament play dates. Only serious reasons for missed Tournament dates will be allowed and cleared through the director. Injured players are also required to attend each practice in full. We understand that serious situations and exclusive opportunities in life happen and we are willing to work out these individual situations and conflicts. Senior players are allowed to miss for Senior Trip, Prom Day and Graduation Day.
Open team players are allowed to miss five practices during the 6-month training season without penalty and we especially discourage players to miss practice prior to a Tournamet date or National Qualifier. As a player gets older (U16-18), playing on a Open team is primarily for players that want to play college volleyball.
What If I Quit The Team ?
When you sign your contract to join one of our teams you are agreeing to pay the entire fee for the season. It's important to understand that if you drop out because of any non-medical reason the entire fee is still due. HardRock continues to incur all costs associated with running the team. Deciding to quit a HardRock club/open volleyball team makes it impossible to find another replacement. Of course if there is a medical reason and you can not play on your Club/Open volleyball team, and this includes not being able to play on your Spring high school sports team, then we will cut you a check for the pro-rated amount.

FAQ's
Where Do The Club Level Teams Play Tournaments?
Club/State/Local tournament sites and entry times will change EVERY tournament. At times tournaments can change at the last minute. Playing sites are sometimes scheduled by the host club and then are pulled from them at the last minute. HardRock has no control of these situations. In addition there are last minute schedule changes for unknown reasons. Coaches, Parents and Players need to remain flexible. Team coaches will let you know the particulars as soon as HardRock is informed. After the 1st NERVA tournament, teams are placed in the next tournament according to their performance in the previous tournament, so sites and times will usually be confirmed the week before NERVA 2. This placement method is used thru the May 6 Championship tournament. Again, check with your team coach!
What if I Play Another Sport?
Players may participate in Winter and Spring Sports as long as they can attend their training and tournament schedule with minimal conflict. Playing at the Club level is very popular option for players who play basketball, are a cheerleader, swim, run track, or play softball etc. because there are generally very little school sponsored activities that interfere with Sunday Tournaments and Sunday Practices. If a player wants to participate in other school sponsored activities, they are required to review both their school schedule and club schedule with their Club Coach and Club Director. All conflicts and decisions will be made on an individual basis.
Players on local/club teams are not permitted to miss practice or tournament dates. Since practice is but once per week, players need to make all efforts to be there. If a conflict arises, please contact your coach and club director in a timely manner so that we are able to rearrange team practice or worst case substitute players for a tournament. Players that miss practice time will have decreased playing time at the next tournament. Missing an entire tournament will result in decreased playing time, at least 1 match in the next tournament. Missing a tournament without prior notification can result in dismissal from the club without a refund.
Injured players are also required to attend each practice in full. We understand that serious situations and exclusive opportunities in life happen, and are willing to work out individual situations and conflicts. Senior players are allowed to miss practice for Prom Day and Graduation. Be sure to notify coaches ahead of time!
