KM has organized a site for T-shirts for the event for players/students/fans - Triton colors too! $15. These are optional, but would be great if HS players could order one to wear for warm-ups (grey preferred). Shirts can be picked up in Kasson on the night of the event (no shipping fee) or shipped to your house for a minimal shipping fee. Deadline to order is Monday, August 17th. https://gppaustin.chipply.com/UnderTheLights2026/?action=viewall
Cookie Dough Fundraiser
Leading Edge Fundraising is assisting us with our cookie dough fundraiser this year. Please see attachments for additional information. Money raised is used for items for our program such as volleyballs, practice equipment, t-shirts/jerseys/travel gear as well as for expenses for travel and team building activities.
A representative from Leading Edge will introduce the fundraiser to all players/managers (7th-12th graders) on Friday, August 21st (10:45am-11:45am).
* To make this fundraiser a success, a list of 25 adult contacts is due on Wednesday, August 19th.

We have new warm-ups this year! These will be issued to all 7th-12th grade players/managers.
Travel jackets will be used again for C-Squad, JV, and Varsity players. If you didn't keep your jacket, a new one will be issued to you. We will again offer HS players the option to buy the jacket and have your name embroidered on the sleeve for $20 at the end of the year.
We will have additional Triton VB Shirts available for sale at the Fall Eligibility meeting. $20 and $10 Deals!

For the 2026 season, all players will need tennis shoes, black spandex/shorts/or leggings, and white knee pads. Elbow pads suggested.
