Playing Time
Understand that practice and
training is where you receive the most instruction and
experience. Tournament play is only a supplement to
participating in club. All teams will offer fair (not equal)
playing time to each team player. It is important that each
player understand the concept of being part of a “team.”
Selfish acts will be grounds for dismissal from the team and
club. If there is an issue with playing time or anything else,
please let your daughter address it with her coach first. If
any further questions arise, then the club director can be
contacted. Please have ALL complaints in writing (or e-mail)
when addressing the club director. DO NOT approach the coach or
director during the day of a tournament. Parents please refrain
from approaching the coach concerning playing time.
Player Conduct
Every athlete is expected to
conduct herself appropriately at all times. You will be
representing SUVA. Show respect at all times to coaches,
teammates, officials at tournaments, and parents. Be
competitive, but not disrespectful toward other teams and/or
clubs. Disrespect to anyone will not be tolerated!
Team Assignments
If it is in the best interest of
the program, a player may be moved from one team to another
based on one or more of the following (1) position (2) skill
level (3) attitude (4) needed for tournament play (5) loss of
player from another team. The coaching staff will have the
authority to pull a player up or move a player down at any
time. Please understand that we will place your daughter on a
team where we feel she will have the best opportunity to
succeed. We have a very competent coaching staff that will
evaluate each player and help place them on a team.
Recruiting/Obtaining
Scholarships
It is our goal at SUVA to
enhance each girl’s possibility of attaining a college
scholarship. SUVA makes no guarantees, however if you hope to
play in college we will assist you as best we can. It is your
responsibility to inform our club director of your goals. We
will assist in making skill tapes upon request; parents are
responsible for game tapes. We have materials available to you
that are conducive in planning for college recruiting. We are
attempting to make this the focus of SUVA. This does not mean
that only those wishing to go on after high school can play for
SUVA, but it must be understood that we want those who are
serious about getting better at the sport. You or your parents
will be paying good money for this training and experience. We
take it seriously. If you are looking for laid back practices,
practices you can come to every once in a while, then we suggest
you look elsewhere. This is not recreation volleyball. We want
athletes who want to reach their full potential, from the
beginner athlete to the elite athlete. We don’t apologize for
this, but are making this very clear up front.
Practice
Practice schedules are posted in
the gym, as well as on the web-site. Practice times are from
6:00 – 7:30 p.m., 7:00 – 8:30 p.m., and 8:00 – 9:30 p.m. Each
team will have one of these time blocks two times a week for
practice. If the individual coach chooses to hold additional
practices or goes overtime, that is at the discretion of the
coach. Please arrive at practice ten minutes early so that you
can utilize your entire block of practice time. If you must
miss a practice, please inform your coach a minimum of 24 hours
in advance. This allows the coach to plan practice
appropriately. Understand that circumstances and schedules may
require that some teams hold joint practices if a coach is
unable to attend. Baby-sitting service is not provided, please
be prompt to pick up your daughter after practice.
Concerning Fees
One-third of your total fees
will be due up front. Monthly installment fees are due the
first of each month. Please drop your payment in the drop box
that is located inside the gym. Be prompt with your payment.
Remember, we are passing along our expenses only; we do not have
the bank balance to pay expenses without income. Our expenses
must be paid on time and we expect the courtesy of your payment
on time. We have implemented a no pay, no play policy because
of problems we have had collecting dues in the past. We are
busy enough with club management; we do not need to spend time
tracking down dues all month. This is not a free service, so
please do not treat it that way. THERE IS NO CREDIT OR PRORATION
FOR PLAYERS WHO ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND TOURNAMENTS OR PRACTICES.
IF FOR SOME REASON YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO QUIT, YOU WILL NOT BE
REFUNDED YOUR MONEY.
