FOXFIRE VOLLEYBALL CLUB: Other FoxFire Info
As stated in the introduction, we will be keeping 9 or 10 players on each team. By keeping fewer players on a team, it allows the players to receive more repetitions during practice and more playing time at tournaments which gives them the opportunity to develop their skills at a faster pace. Players should arrive to practice 10 minutes early so they can help set up the nets, put on their shoes, and be ready when practice time is ready to start.
It is expected that the players will commit to the practices and tournaments. It is not fair if players do not attend regularly and have other conflicts. The players need to learn to work as a team as well as improving in individual skills.
It is understood that things come up during the season. Please contact the coach as possible as you are aware of problem or conflict with the practice time so the coach can adjust her practice plan accordingly. If you are unable to attend the tournament, please contact the coach immediately as younger players can be brought up if needed.
Tournament Information
All of the teams will be attending 5-6 tournaments. The tournaments for each individual team are decided by the team at the team meeting. The tournaments are held on Saturday or Sunday as an all day event with in 1-1½ hrs away depending on where you live. Round Robin pool play usually begins at 8 am with single elimination in the afternoon- Officiating duties are part of the tournament commitment before they can leaveif the team leaves, fines will be made to the club if this happens the fines will be passed onto the team members and their families. We ask that all players stay to help so that is fair to all team members. So it is wise to not schedule other activities on days of tournaments due to travel time and possibility if playing late into the day. Transportation to and from the tournaments is the responsibility of the players and parents.
It is often not known until a few days beforehand when and where the team must be for a tournament. The coach will get the information to the players as soon as possible along with the directions and /or map to the tournament site.
Your e-mail will help get the info to you as quickly as we get the info.
Please remember that while we are in a competitive environment, we still need to abide by the USA Volleyball code behavior. Referees will make mistakes, but it is unlikely a team will ever lose due to officiating. Please be respectful and represent the club in everyway by cheering for the FoxFire team.
Uniforms & Equipment
Each girl will receive one shirt with numbers to wear at tournaments. Each player is to provide their own black spandex to wear for tournaments. The players are to bring the volleyball included in the fees (or one purchased last year) to each and every practice—these are the balls for the team so it is the player's JOB to bring the volleyball every time.
Fundraising
FoxFire Volleyball Club does not do any fundraising as a club.
