Volleyball-Boys

Spring 2025 will be the first season for boys volleyball as a MSHSL-sanctioned sport.

Orono players will compete in a coop with Mound Westonka, Delano and Waconia.

Registration is now open! Athletes must register directly through Westonka Athletics & Activities.

The team typically practices will be at 6-8 p.m., 2-3 times per week. Matches are typically on Tuesday and Thursday, with JV starting at 5:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. and Varsity at 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. We will not have transportation to and from matches this year, so each player will need to arrange accordingly.
