2026 Pre-season power rankings

Roster additions must be reported to Mr. P. Cook before playing in a game.  Email me the name.  Tell me down in the gym- I have the folder with me all the time.  Any player who has not played a single game for another team is a legal addition.  Once you play one game for a specific team, that is the only team you are eligible to play for.  If you wanted more playing time, create your own team next year.  This ties the least teams we have ever had, but it sure will be competitive.  8 is not bad.  March 6 is the last day of free agency. Only players on the roster by or before 3/6 are eligible for the tourney starting 3/9.

1. Chaos- They have been in the championship 3 years in a row.  A huge win in 2023 followed by 2 very narrow losses in the final round in 2024 and 2025.  I predict this team will be in the promised land.  Who will they face in the finals is the question.  They are the same on paper but all of these players are a year older and most have improved, which is scary.

2. The Americas- They won it all 2 years ago.  Big bounce back this year is anticipated with a stacked roster.

Mr. Deckert

Mr. Rivera

Felype

Janessa Tavares

3. Shrimp Mode- This team has their nucleus and looks improved.  You cannot play bad and beat these guys.  They play sound and don't give up on a ball.  Don't turn away until you see it hit the ground.  They will get it.

Henry Harrison (C)

Seamus Linehan

Shane Widtfeldt

Sean Buckley

Meghan Buckley

Esme Sarrouf

Finn Costa

Desire Dimino

Mr. Gentile

Ms. Lowthers

J Chip

4. Average Joes- They were built for dominant size for the championship run in 2025.  Now they are durable and built for sneaky power shots. I like to put my team lower than I think.  People don't know us and don't read this and don't take us seriously.

Logan Lichtenwald

6. Lundquist's Army- More Klopotoskis and some new names.  Palmer can pound.  I am guessing they improve on their win total.  Maybe this is the year it all comes together?

Jack Palmer

Anthony Lamy

7. Finacey's Finest- Great kids, great name, great lady.  No idea if they can play.  Biggest question mark here.

Nathan Gorman-Melo

8. Beavis and Bumphead- Another great name.  Pool has good size.  Rogers says "he cooks in gym class".  Sonia plays for the team.  Maybe they are for real?

Jaiden Perez

Zac Pool

Shyia Goodrich

Nate Rogers

9. Sets and the City- Only putting them 9th because they screwed up my schedule for a few hours.  We are on.  These kids show up and have positivity.  I like your style.  Do you have moves?  Some good servers on this squad.

10. The Untouchaballs- Also, only putting these guys last because they came in late but 10 teams is better than 8.  More teams= more competition.  This team can play too.  Some seniors who are hungry for a championship.  If they learn to play as a team, watch out.

League rules- Captain's must read and know

Captain’s Sheet- Captains are responsible to get their teams to understand all of this.  Teams will be held to these rules and policies.

Team fee ($50) must be in by Thursday, February 12, 2026. Once the team pays, they will go on the website and will be official. No venmo, etc. Cash only. This is how we buy prizes, but also teams that are invested, show up, even though it's a small investment. That's roughly $7 per person on a team of 7 or 5 dollars per person on a team of 10.

Team rosters will be frozen after games on Friday, March 6. No additions to rosters can be made after that date. You may need to add players before the deadline when you see who shows up and who doesn't. Have paying members who you know are almost always going to come and have backups in case someone cannot come one day.

Make sure you have enough boys and girls to form a team every day. Only players on your roster will be allowed to play for your team.  Adding unclaimed players prior to any contest through March 6 is allowed. Just report them to Mr. Cook and he will take note and it's official. Not reporting use of a new player prior to battle can result in forfeit. It is not hard to ask Mr. Cook to add a roster spot. I always have my folder and a pencil and I update the website daily. Using a player that has played on another team already disqualifies the team in the contest. Once someone has played one game for a team they are an ineligible player for another team unless sanctioned by Mr. Cook.

We are lucky GHS gym classes will set up nets. Teams playing last games will be responsible for taking nets down.

The website will have game schedules and court availability.  Check the website every day in order to be aware of rules, news, etc.  http://ghsintramuralvolleyball.blogspot.com/

Your game starts right after the completion of the prior game.  The time on the schedule is the schedule, but be ready early if we are ahead of schedule. Be ready for your game to start early.  Failure to be present when the prior game ends may result in forfeit.

Teams may ask anyone to referee a game as long as both teams agree. Teachers are the best choice. Everyone else should NOT shout "carry" or "net" because we do not want players to unnecessarily stop playing. Playing teams do not call fouls. A neutral ref calls it. Teachers who are not playing at the time should volunteer to ref as this helps everyone get used to playing by the rules.

Referee's call is final. In the tournament all games will have a staff ref.

Matching team shirts are optional.

Ask for clarification on a rule if you do not understand the rules explanations here or when you see the rule in action.  Some teams do not read the rules here and then act surprised when called out by a teacher or experienced player.  Read these rules below and try to understand them!

Rules:

• Rally score games to 25
• Win by 2 until straight up at 30
• 6 vs. 6
• For 4 males, 2 female minimum on court
• If playing with one female, max 4 total players
• Teams cannot play at all with zero girls. Zero girls results in a forfeit. This is coed.
• 3 hits per side and try to use them to maximize effectiveness
• Blocks do not count as hits.  Even the person who blocks can hit right after that.  Otherwise double hits are illegal
• Unintentional double hits are still double hits and result in a dead ball and loss of point
• Getting hit in the body or head counts as a hit and you may not intentionally hit the ball after that.
• Blocking/attacking a serve is illegal. (leaving feet in front row and returning the serve to the other side)
• Kicking the ball is legal
• Play the ball off the net.  The net is live even with serves
• The line is in
• Stepping on the line or over the line on a serve is a service error
• Overhand or underhand serves are legal
• Spiking from the back line is legal only if the hitter leaves their feet before stepping over the middle line.
• Teams must rotate properly (person before server rotates out and sub rotates in. once a specific rotation starts, it must be maintained except for in case of injury, and in that case that person is merely deleted. Adding a 5th and or 6th midgame is legal). Clockwise rotation.
• Girls sub for girls and guys sub for guys, or straight up but the rotation began must be the same the whole game
• You can play the ball off the following things on your own side, but you cannot hit it off these if it redirects to the other side.
• Basketball apparatus
• partition
• Ceiling
• other foreign objects
• If the ball touches a non-playing party or if they interfere, replay the point
• No carrying
• Ref’s call regardless
• No open hands can be used on low hits unless the hit is "crisp"
• On high hits the ball cannot be “palmed” or “thrown”, it must be “hit”
