Leave Time for Sunday/ Caravan

We ref at 8am, which means we blow the first whistle at 7:45am for warm up.  Rachel and I will need to check our team in prior to that (7:30am).  It takes about an hour to get to Clear Creek Amana school, and considering the weather, I think we should meet at Caseys parking lot around 6:15am and leave by 6:30am.  Out of town kids could just meet us on the road but please call or text when you are on the road. 

We could also try to share rides since gas prices are so ridiculous these days.  Both 17U teams are going and have to be there at the same time that morning. 

Please let me know what your plans are for that morning and if you need a ride. 

Jerseys have been handed out.  17.00 to Tiel or Claude in the next few weeks please.  (sorry so expensive - we didn't order enough to get any better deals).  Kerrigan has Leannas.  Liberos only need to pay for the black jersey, but should carry both jerseys to the tourneys (Emmie and Tracy)

minutes each team).  All pool play will be 2 sets to 25 points (starting at 4-4); win by 2.  During pool

play, players are allowed to ref if an adult referee, with a whistle, oversees the game.  Top 2 teams

th place team is done.  Bracket play should start around 2:40pm.  Semis will be best 2 out of 3 sets to 25;

 set to 15 if necessary, win by 2.  An adult MUST be the first referee during bracket play and

losing teams ref the next match.  Seeding for bracket play will be determined as follows:  set wins,

head to head, defensive points, coin flip.  A play-off set to 15 points will only be used to determine

which team goes to Championship.

Concessions sign up!

As we have asked for the past couple of years, we need help during concessions on our tournament days. Preferably, if you sign up on another team's tourny day, you won't miss YOUR events/ your child's events. There are events coming up in the next couple of weeks and I will post them separately for you.

They are in 3 hour shifts. So basically you work 6 hours (or find someone to work 6 hours for you - aunts/ uncles, friends, etc.) and you don't have to pay astronomical Club Vball fees that you would find yourself paying if we didn't cover our expenses by hosting these tournies. Win - Win situation, and you know we like to Win! :)

Girls, you can sign up to help but only 2 at a time (we cannot have all kids running the stand). I will post each date's sign up sheet to the blog for you. Please sign up for 2 shifts for each child you have in the program. Thanks!
