• Older division – we try to work around
proms – we need to know conflicts now!!!
Practices
• This is not a school sponsored activity
• Schools have been good working with us
to have our practices
• We are not a priority in getting gym time
• Players need to be committed to getting to
practices as well as tournaments.
• To become a better player you need to
play and practice.
• Consistent times and days each week
Communication
This is the key to our success – please help
• Accurate email – parents especially
• Can we text?????
• Need to check email on daily basis,
especially if weather or track meet change,
• Tournament info sent via email
• Coaches will do all communicating after
we start practices
Team selection for all ages
• We have never “cut” a player
• Everyone will be on a team unless we don’t have enough
coaches or practice facilities
• Team size is kept low so lots of playing time
• Conflicts, especially with older teams, plays a role in
team selection
• We want to stay with ages as much as possible but can
move up to older age grouping if necessary.
• Players can play on other teams within the club to help
at tournaments if needed.
• We aren’t perfect when splitting up teams. Our goal is to
touch as many volleyballs as possible. We don’t know
the “politics” going on at your schools nor do we want to
know them.
