"cmon we should head off to the school before it gets to late im sure the others should be arriving soon to" stan says as he takes out his phone walking away from the arcade games heading off to the exit

"whatever they can wait" craig yawned as he followed behind "don't forget we are the ones who have the game plan dude we can't be exactly be late" stan responded rolling his eyes with a slight smile "fine let's go captain"

"shutup"

craig just smiled as he opened up the door and headed out with stan trailing behind, they quickly hopped into the car and sped off to the school

"where are they?" clyde asks as he finishes dressing into his uniform. tolkien opens up his locker door starting to dress into his uniform "they're probably almsot here relax"

"but they're always here early!" clyde exclaims "what are you guys yapping about your being to loud" craig retorts as he comes walking into the locker room "dude we aren't even late we are still here early" stan follows up as he walks behind craig but walking off as he heads to his own locker

"told you" tolkien clicks as he pats clyde's back "you miss me to much clyde?" craig teases as he finished putting on his uniform shirt "no i don't i just didn't want to get stuck with coach's plan"

"what's wrong with my plan you jerk" coach PC yells as he slams open the locker room door "where is everyone?!" he yells as he looks around the room to only see four boys out of 11

"coach we're here move out the way if you want us to get ready" cartman complains as he shoves the coach out the door way to enter

"show some respect fatass" kyle smacks the back of cartmans head as he and the rest of the boys start rolling into the room to change

"sorry coach" kyle apologizes in his behalf before walking in and closing the door leaving the coach outside "coach?" wendy asks as she walks behind him giving him a hand up "oh hey wendy, time to start setting up cmon"

"alright i'll see you bozos out in a bit" craig tells tolkien and clyde as he walks out the room. "you nerds are always here early" cartman retorts as he starts getting ready "i have to man in the captain i gotta make sure i have enough time to get all of you guys situated today" stan explains as he walks up to his friends "what's the game plan today?" kenny asks as the other boys in the locker room finished up changing they all huddled up around stan

"our game is friday meaning we only have two days to get our shit together" he speaks
up "everyone head out and help our manager and coach finish setting up, if they're done start warming up everyone team up in 2s"

"yes captain!" they all shouted in unison as they followed him out the locker room into the gym to start partnering up, with there being 11 players stan has always warmed up alone as he would stay on the side lines talking to the coach and going over the plans

"stan can i talk to you?" the coach yelled as he waved him over "everyone do 5 laps around the field outside!" the others headed out once they were done stretching to start their warm up laps

"what is it coach?" stan walked with the coach to side lines in the gym taking a seat in the bleachers "the school isn't funding the football program anymore" the coach stated slowly "it pains me to tell you but i need you to tell the others about this" stan stared in shock for a second as his eyes went wide "WHAT"

"what do you mean??!" he jumps up in anger and frustration clutching his fists and teeth glaring at the coach for answers

"the stupid town took a vote to change our sports genre to volleyball since it's all the rage now" he breathed out as he signaled stan to sit down again "instead of the original practice you had planned today we need to switch it up to volleyball, sorry kid i know this is your passion but my hands are tied right now"
