Prospective team members spike the ball
as they are observed and rated.
Head Coach Kelly Drobeck (pointing, far right)
circles up prospects at the start of the three-day
tryouts in the Big Gym to give instructions.
Prospects are graded on service reception, as
the ball is thrown to one of the two players
defending on the back row.
Pass from the back row
goes to a setter at the net,
who two-hands the ball
for an imaginary hitter.
Coach Grace Seitz (L) takes notes on prospects.
With her is '24 alum Bradleigh Ryan, now a
sophomore at UCSB majoring in Biology
and Environmental Science. Seitz moves from
the freshman team to being Kelly Drobeck's
assistant on the varsity. Drobeck was her
coach in the 692 club program.
Coaches Traci Weiss and Gabi Brewer (far right)
view girls early in tryouts. Weiss becomes novice
coach after JV's last year; Brewer becomes
head JV coach in her first year at LJHS, second
year coaching overall.
Serena Gins (L) and Olivia Nielsen spark
some energy before tryouts, which led
to the mass photo below.

trying out for V-JV-freshmen.
Returners Grace Gayner (L), a senior OPP (opposite
hitter), and Nanette Fu, a junior OH (outside hitter),
sign "67"--they say it's positive--in a break
while working the tryouts for Coach Kelly Drobeck.
