open gyms
Please join us for open gym at Northern Impact. We will host several open gym sessions prior to tryouts for Grade School, Middle School and High School athletes. This is a good opportunity to come in, get some reps and see our facilities. All open gyms are hosted at The New Brighton Community Center, 400 10th ST NW, New Brighton, MN. Participation is limited to the first 24 players who arrive and pay the $7 entry fee. Entry is determined on a first come first serve basis.
Pre-Tryout Open Gyms
Grade School and Middle School players may choose to receive instruction and coaches may lead sessions, if it is deemed necessary, but this is really just an open gym to allow players a chance to play some volleyball on their own. Please do not expect coaches to lead drills or games, but know that they may step in, if kids seem to be struggling.
For high school aged players, coaches will be on-hand to answer questions and monitor play, but these are not instructional sessions. We also caution high school aged players against participating in ANY CLUB's open gyms while their high school teams are still participating in MN State High School League competitions in order to protect their future high school eligibility.
