Sunday, July 22
Where/When will your Daughter Practice?
So you want to know where and when your daughter will practice.
We utilize some of the GISD Schools during our Fall and Spring Leagues. Because we use the schools, we are not able to hold practices on days when the District is closed. Replacement practices days will be listed on this site and an email will be sent to the Coaches.
Click on the "Where/When will your Daughter Practice?" line above for a map of the GISD.
~~~~~
GVA provides one, 1-hour practice, per week, for each team.
~~~~~
How do we pick a practice location? Well, actually, you don't . . .
GVA provides a list of locations and the days/times that those locations are available for our rental to all of the Coaches. Armed with that knowledge, the Coach of your daughter's team decides what night of the week, which location, and during what hour slot they would like to hold their mandatory practice.
~~~~~
What are the practice times? Again, the Coach decides and the choices are:
6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m., or 8:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.
Once you know what time your Coach is going to hold practice, it is strongly recommended that you have your daughter to the practice location at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time to get the most out of the time allotted.
~~~~~
How do we find out what night/time we practice? Ooohhhh - Good Question!
GVA holds a mandatory Coaches Meeting prior to the start of each league. At that meeting the Coach will receive a boat-load (just kidding, it all fits in a folder) of information about the team, the Association, balls, rules, etc.
After they get a chance to review it and fire-up their computers - they usually send out an email** to all the players assigned to their team. Some Coaches will call you - it all depends on their preferred method of communication. **This is why it's soooo important that you provide an email address that is accurate and checked FREQUENTLY. 8^0 That informative notification should include the practice information.
If you ever forget what night your daughter's practice is on - you can check the "Teams" link on the left and select your daughter's team to find out when and where they practice.
~~~~~
When do practices start? Practices began the week of September 17th.
~~~~~
What if we want to practice more than once a week?
GVA provides the space and equipment rental for the above mentioned "one, 1-hour practice, per week", if the team decides to hold additional practices, they are permitted to do so, but those practices cannot be scheduled through the GISD privately. GISD will not issue individual rental agreements. GVA will not make additional rental agreements above and beyond the one practice provided.
~~~~~
Why have I heard about other teams who practice more than one time per week?
A few teams are fortunate enough to have a Coach or team parent that has access to alternate locations. While teams are allowed to have as many additional practices as they would like, only the one provided by GVA is to be considered mandatory. *It is also important to note that while at a GVA provided practice - your daughter is covered by our Supplemental Insurance in the event of an injury. You do not have this when participating in a non-GVA provided practice.
~~~~~
What if my daughter has other commitments and can only practice on a specific night of the week?
There is space on the registration form where you can note any special requests - put the night your daughter can practice in that location. We will do our best to match your individual needs. *Please note that this may cause last minute changes to team assignments.
~~~~~
If you have any other questions regarding practice that have not been addressed here, please send me an email and I will answer you and more than likely post the answer/question here for others. =} garlandvolleyball@yahoo.com
