Playing Time  

 

It is the sole responsibility of the coaches of each team to decide who plays when and in what position. The coaching staff should be respected for their knowledge of the game. They will make every effort to provide each and every athlete with the opportunity to become the best volleyball player she can be.  The challenge for all coaches is to find a balance between the needs of the individual and that of the team. 

Specialization occurs as players grow older or play in more competitive tournaments.  This specialization can take the form of positions (i.e. setter, middle hitter, libero, etc.) or area on the court (i.e. back row).  Playing time is determined based on a player’s strengths, attendance and effort in practice, recent performance and possible contribution to the team’s chance of success

Playing time will be negatively affected by poor attitude, disciplinary problems, or missed practices.

Expectations of Players

Just showing up for practices isn't enough. We need players who are punctual, who are in the proper frame of mind to work hard, who pay attention to the coaching staff and cooperate with teammates and coaches.  

Commitment: It is vital to be committed to the program. If you work hard in practices, matches and scrimmages, you are likely to have a successful season.

 

Regular Attendance: We know that not all players can show up to every practice. Exams and other school activities sometimes must take priority. It's important that you attend every possible practice and notify your coach as far in advance as possible when you can't attend.  

 

Respect for the rules of the club: This includes the club's and the USAV Player's Code of Conduct. Rules will be clearly stated, and will be enforced.  When you are representing the Sideout Volleyball Club, your behavior should be appropriate.  

 

Maintaining good grades: It is important that you consider yourself a scholar and an athlete, and strive for your best possible performance in school.

What Is Expected from Parents

 

Deliver and pick up players on time. Coaches have to wait for all players to be picked up after practice. Please remember that coaches may have other commitments after practices. Late arrivals to practice cause disruptions, as well.  

 

Please assist with transportation of players to out-of-town events. We encourage parents of the team to work together on any necessary transportation arrangements.

 

Please watch your daughter when she competes. Even though she may not let you know, she will appreciate it if you are there.

 

Attend team organizational meetings.  We have very few meetings, so when we do meet, its important!  It is also a chance for parents, players and coaches to get acquainted with each other.

 

Pay fees on time. If fees are not paid, bills cannot be paid. Your club directors cannot afford to make up the difference!!
