Sunsetters girls’ volleyball tryouts upcoming

PrintFor many years, volleyball players who live on the west side of Monroe County or Genesee or Orleans counties had to travel out-of-season to the city of Rochester to participate in offseason activities.

That made it difficult for some working families time-wise and the travel added to the cost of playing.

For the second year in a row, there will be a club based in Brockport – the Westside Sunsetters Volleyball Club.

“We are locally based club on the west side based out of Brockport accepting boys and girls in grades 6-12,” coordinator and Brockport girls’ volleyball varsity head coach Jamie Hugelmaier said.

“We are promoting the growth of volleyball on the Westside. “We are a travel team and will attend about five-six tournaments (with) some in the western New York area and some out of town/out of state.”

Tryouts will be the week of December 4.

“We started up last year; we had an amazing turn out with four girls’ teams, a 13’s, 14’s, 16’s, and 18’s team. This year we are looking to double that. We practice two nights a week and go to about one to two tournaments a month. The season runs from December-May.”

Hugelmeier is the club director, Kristi Baxter is the vice president and Alyssa Staino is the program assistant.
