Spring Co-ed R4s Season Begins!

Hey Everyone,
Co-ed R4s League is definitely a go! - Thanks to all of you who signed up!

As of this moment, I have four teams to play tomorrow, Thursday, March 31, 2016. The gym doors are supposed to be opened for us at 6:45pm, and games will start at 7pm.  You will play two teams, best of three, 25-25-15 (win by 2, cap 31 & 21). We MUST be out of the gym by 945pm. THIS IS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT BECAUSE OF THE CONTRACT WITH THE CUSTODIAL STAFF. This means that games may need to be cut short if we do not start/finish in a timely fashion.

The gym is located at Aldergrove Community Secondary School, off of 264 and 29th Ave, and we have it until Thursday June 16, 2016. The cost for the season will be $100 per team ($25 per player). Also, please make sure each member signs and submits a waiver before playing!

I do have interest from a 5th team of all girls (they would have to designate two players as male), and potentially two other pairs of two, to join the league. That being said, we will not run the league with an odd amount of teams (weird scheduling). If I can get two or four more teams confirmed before next Thursday, April 7, 2016, then I will add them into the schedule for next week and adjust the timing accordingly. 

For now, we will see the following teams for 7pm tomorrow:

-Mark Watts
-Danika Schutte
-Chantal Bruce 
-Marika Togeretz 

As all R4s league tend to have slightly different rules, I thought I would go ahead and list off a few of the specifics that we will be playing with:
-No open-hand tipping
-No directional blocking
-Guys cannot jump inside the three metre line during an attack (only to block another male)
-Guys cannot block girls
-When setting the ball across the net your shoulders must be square to where the ball lands
-If a guy is inside the 3m line, they must put the ball beyond the opposing teams 3m line
-One bounce off of the rafters/hoops is allowed as long as it does not cross the plane of the net
-No net touching what so ever...EVER!

Anyway, I hope I've touched on everything! Please let me know if there is anything further that needs to be addressed, otherwise we will see you at 7pm tomorrow!

Spring 2016 Plans

I have had a few questions in the last few days about plans for Spring 2016. So far, here is where I am at:

We will most likely be running Co-ed Reverse 4s. I am hoping to run it as a "league" that you must register a team for but if we can't get enough committment then we might have to run it on a "drop-in" basis. Even if we do run it as a "drop-in" though, you will still be required to "sign up" each week, so that I know what the numbers are like, and whether or not I need to break it up into the two time slots.

All that being said, if you are interested in continuing to play in Spring 2016 please let me know one of the following:

A) You have a full team of 4 (two guys, two girls) and are interested in registering as a team so that we can play "league style"

B) You are an individual guy or girl or "portion" of a team who is looking to have a complete team (two guys, two girls) so we can play "league style"

C) You are an individual looking to play periodically as a sub (if it ends up being "league style"), or are looking for a drop-in basis.

I need to try and get an idea of how many teams I can run with/if I need to reach out to more people, as well as how to break up the time each week. Also, if you are looking to complete a team, please feel free to post in the comments below with your name and some contact info so that people can reach out.

Look forward to hearing from you guys! :)

I will do another post once registration officially opens :) next week sometime

Upcoming End of Season

Hey Ladies,
I've had a lot of questions over the last couple of weeks about what the plan is over spring break, as well as when to anticipate the end of season. Sorry it's taken me so long to get a final update posted (honestly, I just kind of dropped the ball on finding out about Spring break, and then I came down with a bit of a cold so I lost total motivation on setting up the final schedule).

Anyway, here is what's happening:

The coordinator at ACSS has informed me that, although the school is closed over spring break, she will be available to open and close the gym for us so that we can carry on without missing any weeks.

Therefore, I have decided to finish the season as follows:

-This Thursday as well as next Thursday (March 3rd and 10th) will still be regular season game play

-Thursday March 17 will be the playoffs for pool B

-Thursday March 24th will be the playoffs for pool A.

This will then give me the last week of March to make some final decisions on what/how to run the gym from April to June (most likely leaning towards R4s, or co-ed drop in).

I will post any changes/updates accordingly, however this is the plan for the time being :)

Thanks ladies!
