Some things to think about this week.

There is an EASE and ENTHUSIASM about him. It is something you can't fake.
Where he excels is ridiculous, sickening work ethic.
When he was hell bent on NOT FAILING, he wasn't as successful as when he LOOSENED up. He gained confidence when he took more chances and didn't worry about failing.
Don't ever tell yourself there is something you CAN'T do.
Put your head down and lay the first brick.

Cedar Falls Tourny Information
Dear Team Representative and
Coaches,
Welcome to the 2013 Six Pack Feb
23rd Invitational. The tournament site is on the campus of the University of
Northern Iowa. The Wellness & Recreation Center (WRC) on the corner of
Hudson Rd & 22nd Street is the building adjacent to the UNI-Dome to the
north.
The following sites will be of
help for directions.
The format will be pool play
followed by bracket play. Please check the tournament schedule for the
particulars relating to your division. Pool play will consist of matches 2 of 3
to 25 with deciding game to 15. All sets are decided by 2 points (no cap). The
top two teams advance to championship bracket and the bottom two teams will
advance to Consolation bracket. Again, check your schedule to determine the
exact tournament format. Standard tie-breaker system will apply. (1. Match/Set
%, 2. Head-to-Head 3. Point % 4. Coin Toss) Reminder positioning in
championship or consolation can be determined by point percentage, but teams WILL
NOT be sent home based on point percentage. Tournament format will be best
2 of 3 sets to 25 points, deciding game to 15. All sets are decided by 2 points
(no cap).
Please check your schedule for
the match start time of your pool. You will have 10 minutes to warm up before
your 1st match of the day (2 minutes shared ball handling, 4 minutes for serving
team, 4 minutes for receiving team). After that, there will be six minutes
between matches (3 minutes for serving team, 3 minutes for receiving team). IF
YOU ARE THE OFFICIATING TEAM FOR THE NEXT MATCH, BE PROMPT IN STARTING WARM-UPS
FOR THE MATCH! Timers will be provided for the officiating teams this year
to make sure warm-ups don’t run too long.
There will be a $1 admission
charge for spectators. Concession
information and site rules are listed on your playing schedules. Plug in
appliances are NOT allowed at any site. We ask you to inform your parents
of these team camp rules as we know they are the ones providing their daughters
with the team camps.
We are guests and lucky to be
able to use these fine facilities, please clean up at the end of the day.
Anyone with a cooler in the gym will be asked to leave the facility.
We will be at the tournament
site at 7:00 AM to begin checking in teams. Line-up sheets will be passed out
to each team during check in. We have more than 40 teams participating, so
please show up promptly to take care of those administrative duties.
If you have any questions, or
would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks and Good Luck!!

Hotel info
Please forward to your parents and players.
This is the hotel information for the Regional Volleyball Tournament in Des Moines, IA April 27-28. I have a block of rooms reserved from Friday, April 26-Sunday, April 28. There are 10 Double Queen Rooms and 10 King rooms. Given they scheduled Regionals on the same weekend as the Drake Relays, there is very little room anywhere in Des Moines that weekend and prices are high.
You must reserve your room BEFORE MARCH 26, 2013. I suggest that some of you room together if possible to lessen the overall cost or some of you may want to just stay Saturday night rather than Friday and Saturday.
Quality Inn and Suites Event Center- Des Moines
929 3rd Street, Des Moines, IA 50309
515-282-5251 (ask for Crystal or Sales Department)
Group Account # 1194327, listed under Springville Volleyball
Price per night $94.95 (approx. $106.00 per night w/ tax)
Please take time to talk to each other to make sure you get the best situation. The king rooms do not have sofa sleepers so sleeping bags may be in order for those who split rooms.
the regoinal tournament will require tickets like last year. When I get that information i will forward it to you, or you can always visit www.iavbreg.org for information of the regional tournament.

Reminders
Couple of reminders:
1. Uniforms 17.00 to Claude or Tiel
2. Regionals is April 26, 27. We are working on a block of rooms but I would like to know what your family plans are for the trip. (ie Fri and Sat, only Sat, need your child to bunk with another family, how many rooms, etc.) It is Drake Relays weekend. If your child qualifies for Drake they will put Drake as the priority and we will see what we can work out. Drake is generally Thur and Fri and maybe part of Sat, but there is no reason we can't work it all out.
3. We are asking that bball players do NOT attend open gym on Wed but do attend a watch-only practice on Sunday. We do this out of respect for bball and their regional play. But there are things we can work on without the girls physically practicing. This is only for club vball, not necessarily the opinion of all sports.
