Upcoming Month!

Hey Ladies, 

I want to mention a few things as we come to the close of the Fall 2016 season!

I have spoken with the athletic coordinator at ACSS and she informs me that for this season we can have the gym until Thursday November 24, 2016. It is possible we can have it after that as well, but she won't know for sure for another few weeks based on the school scheduling/plans.

That being said, I plan on running two more weeks of regular play, and then we will have the playoffs (A and B pool) on consecutive weeks.

I have also had a request to post a two week schedule so that teams can better coordinate their lives! The only reason I wasn't doing this before is because each week I was re-ranking teams, however I have no problem changing it up for the future and just re-ranking every two weeks or so instead. 

So here is the schedule for the following two weeks of regular play:

Thursday November 3, 2016:
645-8pm
Court 1
Impact vs. Sambuca
Impact vs. I'd Hit That

Court 2
I'd Hit THat vs. Eliminators
Sambuca vs. Eliminators

815-930pm
Court 1
Marika vs. Lindsay
Marika vs. Ball Busters

Ball Busters vs. Barely Legal
Lindsay vs. Barely Legal



Thursday November 10, 2016
645-8pm
Court 1
Sambuca vs. I'd Hit That
Sambuca vs. Marika

Court 2
Marika vs. Ball Busters
I'd Hit That vs. Ball BUsters

815-930pm
Lindsay vs. Marika
Lindsay vs. Barely Legal

Barely Legal vs. Eliminators
Marika vs. Eliminators


Thanks!

Hey Ladies, 

Just wanting to clarify a few things things week after receiving some feedback:

-Gym doors OPEN at 6:45pm

These hours are dictated by the school/custodial contract we have arranged. 

-First set of games start no later than 7pm
-Second set of games start no later than 820pm 

-You will receive 0 if you do not record your scores

-Court 1 is the court furthest from the main entrance (closer to the equipment room)
-Court 2 is the court closest to the main entrance


Schedule for this week, October 13, 2016, will be as follows:
Court 1:
650pm I'd Hit That vs. Marika
730pm I'd Hit That vs. Barely Legal

Court 2:
650pm Barely Legal vs. Impact

Court 2:
820pm Eliminators vs. Ball Busters
9pm Lindsay vs. Ball Busters


After receiving complaints last season about "rushing between sets", or "having no time to plan strategy", I would like to remind all members that it is up to you to be mindful of start times (I do not want to be called a drill sergeant again). 

I can reconsider (if I get enough feedback) about doing timed games instead of points to 21 (i.e. blowing a whistle when time is up, and when your start time is) however, this causes a lot of discrepancy between accumulation of points for the overall standings, but if this the general preference then I will oblige. 

In the meantime to help keep games on time here are some tips:
-Shag the ball as soon as the play is dead
-Keep water bottles near your court so you can replenish with little delay
-Check the schedule upon arrival to know exactly which court you need to switch to (I will also start posting the detailed scheduled - as above - to help out)
-Warm up quickly and efficiently (i.e prioritize whether you want more time for hitting vs. serving vs. peppering, etc.)

Lastly, I would like to offer a HUGE THANK YOU to all the members who very generously participate in setting up and taking down the nets on a regular basis! It does not go unnoticed and your efforts are very much appreciated!! :)

See you all Thursday!
Thanks!

P.s. There will be no volleyball Thursday October 20, 2016 as the school is hosting a game.
