Alex Griffiths, a standout player for the University of Hawaii and coach for the Mizuno Long Beach volleyball club, has joined Cypress High School as the new head coach for the girl’s program. Griffiths is already hard at work and is focused on continuing Cypress’ winning tradition.
In preparation for team tryouts on July 31, Griffiths is offering a training camp from July 20-30. The camp will be held at the Cypress High School gym from 9 a.m. to noon each weekday. Girls interested in this camp should check the Cypress High School Athletics page to download the required forms, and bring those to the first day of camp. The cost for the camp is $150 for returning players and $200 for incoming freshman and new players. Tryouts will be July 31, from 10 a.m. to-1 p.m. at the Cypress High School gym.
Cypress ended last season as the Empire League champions, and advanced to the CIF playoffs. The Centurions have a busy season ahead, starting pre-season play on Sept. 5. The regular season starts on Thursday, Oct. 8, when the Centurions square off against Valencia High School in a home game.
