LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV volleyball program is looking for children between the second and eighth grades to become 'Rising Rebels' - a group that will assist the team at all home matches this season beginning August 12 at the intrasquad scrimmage.

These individuals will help with ball shagging during warmups and have in-match duties as well, such as ball rotation and wiping the floor. Members of the 'Rising Rebels' must arrive at the match 45 minutes early and stay until it is completed.

The 'Rising Rebels' will receive a UNLV T-shirt, a free ticket for a parent/guardian, a picture with the team and the opportunity to be on the court when the 2023 Rebels take the court.

Training will take place Saturday, August 12 starting at 5:30 p.m. in the downstairs Cox Practice Gym. The 'Rising Rebels' will then begin assisting the volleyball team during the scrimmage later that day, which begins at 7 p.m.
