We are happy to announce the return to training in a safe and fun environment for our athletes.  NOOKS will be offering four week Fall Training Cohorts between Oct 2 - Nov 15.  Invitations have been sent out to our 2020 season families who had their season cut short but we will be offering remaining spots to other athletes as numbers allow.  

If you would like to be considered for our Fall Cohort Training, please send an email to nooksvolleyball@gmail.com indicating the age group you are interested in and we will be in touch with registration information once we determine if the cohort has space for more athletes.
