The Riverview Royals senior volleyball teams are going to be getting a little help from their friends this year, but that's not the only change in the offing for Moose Jaw's high school volleyball scene.
The Royals will partner their girls team with Rouleau and their boys team with Cornerstone in the Moose Jaw High School Volleyball League, which sees a few changes this year.
The girls league will have seven teams, with Riverview/Rouleau, Avonlea, Central, Peacock, Vanier, Cornerstone and Caronport fielding squads. The boys league will have Cornerstone/Riverview, Rouleau, Vanier, Peacock, Central and Avonlea entered.
"Format-wise, things are changing a little bit this season," said league commissioner Darin Wohlgemuth. "In the last few years, seniors have been playing one match head-to-head, best-of-five."
This year, Wohlgemuth said the coaches have asked to change that format and get a few more games in.
"Each team is going to have a combination of some head-to-head, best-of-five matches and some round robin matches with multiple teams in the gym."
On a boys league night, for example, there will be two teams playing a typical best-of-five match and the other four teams will play a round robin series, and the girls will have two sets of teams playing a best-of-five and the three other teams playing a round robin.
