FINALS!

Hey Ladies, 

Finals have arrived! As I said before, finals will be played over a 2 week span. B pool first, followed by A pool, that way we have enough time to playout "best of 3" matches. Also, you'll note that only the top eight teams made it to the playoffs. Unfortunately coordinating a 9 team bracket with our limited space/time was too much of a challenge. 

Also, because not all teams played the same number of games, instead of going by wins/losses like I usually do, in order to make it fair I went by average points per game. 

Here are the standings heading into playoffs:

B Pool - Thursday, November 30, 2017
5th: Eliminators
6th: Shanice
7th: Marika
8th: Impact

A Pool - Thursday, December 7, 2017
1st: Wei
2nd: Danika
3rd: Lindsay
4th: I'd Hit That

Finally, I have had a few questions about the upcoming winter season. At this point I do not have a confirmed start date, but expect that it will be mid-January. Please continue to check the website as that is where I will post updates as I get them. You must email me (lindsaywatts07@gmail.com) if you wish to reserve a spot for the upcoming winter season. 

One last thing, if anyone has feedback regarding preference of play time (ie. prefer playing all three teams 1 game to 31, or go back to playing only 2 teams but 2 sets to 21) I would love to try to accommodate to keep everyone happy. 

Thanks again!
-Linds

Week 12: Thursday November, 23, 2017

Week 10: CANCELLED

Hey Ladies, 

Sorry to report but week 10: November 9, 2017, is cancelled as the school's senior girls volleyball team is hosting games that night.

As far as the rest of the season goes though, I anticipate finishing December 7 or 14th, and will post accordingly once I have confirmed availability with the school.  

Thanks!

Just a little fyi (since I've had a few people start to ask), I do not yet have a confirmed end date for this season, but I anticipate that it will be early to mid December. 

Also, as far as knowing what court you are on each week, since we play each team, here is what is easiest:
-Start on which ever court you like for the first game.
-If you win your game go to court 1, if you lose your game go to court 2 for the second game
-For the 3rd game, just play which ever team you have not yet played. 

See you Thursday!

Upcoming Fall 2017 Season

Hey Everyone, 

Just a quick summer update:

-Womens 6s on Thursdays has been given the green light however, I do not yet have a confirmed start date. In the meantime, captains please message me (604-218-1202) to confirm your spot and team (I seem to have lots of outside interest so returning spots will not be held for long). 

-On another note, it turns out I maaaaaay be able to get the gym one more night a week to run co-ed R4s (not confirmed yet). If I do get the "go ahead," it'll either be Monday or Wednesdays. Please let me know if you have a team and would like me to try and secure the additional gym space/time.

Spring 2017 R4s Playoffs!

Hey Everyone,

I know that I originally posted that this upcoming week (June 15, 2017) is a flex week, and then we would have two weeks of playoffs, however, it turns out we will have to use this week (June 15, 2017) to do the round robin of our playoffs, and next week (June 22, 2017) to finish off the finals of the season!

That being said, only the top four teams will make it into the playoffs. 

The following teams who will be playing during the upcoming playoff weeks are:
-Chantal
-Watts
-Danika
-Marika

Thanks, and see you all then!
-Linds

Co-ed Reverse 4s Spring 2017: Schedule, Rules, & Reminders

Hey Everyone, 

So sorry I didn't get these details out over the weekend - I was slacking! 

Better late than never though, so to start off, here's the SCHEDULE :

Thursday Co-ed R4s Spring 2017 League
Teams				Play		Sit
1. Watts		13-Apr-17		1, 2, 3, 4		5, 6
2. marika		20-Apr-17		2, 4, 5, 6		1, 3
3. Danica		27-Apr-17		1, 3, 5, 6		2, 4
4. Chantal		4-May-17		1, 3, 4, 5		6, 2
5. Shelby		11-May-17		1, 2, 3, 6		4, 5
6. Julia		18-May-17		2, 4, 5, 6		1, 3
		25-May-17		1, 3, 4, 6		2, 5
		1-Jun-17		1, 2, 4, 5		3, 6
		8-Jun-17		2, 3, 5, 6		4, 1
	flex week	15-Jun-17		1, 2, 3, 4		5, 6
	PLAYOFFS	22-Jun-17
		29-Jun-17

As far as the RULES go, here are a few reminders:
-No open hand tipping
-Men may only block men
-Men may not jump inside the 3 meter line during an offensive attack
-If a man is inside the 3 meter line while playing the ball in to the opponents court, it must cross the opponents 3 meter line (if the defensive team plays the ball though, it is still live)
-If a man is inside the 3 meter line and is playing the ball into the opponents court, it must have discernible arc. 
-If you are setting the ball over the net as an offensive attack, your shoulders, hips, and feet, must be square to where the ball lands. 

Aside from the regular volleyball rules, I think that is all for now. 

A couple HOUSEKEEPING items to note:
-Every week 2 teams will be sitting
-If there is a week that you would like to sit (ie short players), let me know asap and I will see if one of the other teams is willing to trade

-I only have the schedule listed until June 8, 2017 however, we have the gym until June 29, 2017. This allows for some "wiggle room" in case there is a last minute gym cancellation or something, and also allows for two weeks of playoffs so please expect to play until the end of June. 

-Team fee is $100 ($25 per person) - please bring it the first week you play, or you can send E-transfer in advance to lindsaywatts07@gmail.com
-If you have a player who has not played in a league with us at this facility previously they MUST sign the waiver form prior to participating!
-Gym doors open between 630-645pm (please be quiet and respectful upon arrival as there is a youth camp that runs prior to us), and games will start absolutely no later than 7pm

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions!

See you Thursday!
-Linds

P.s. For the two new teams joining us this season, if you are unfamiliar with Reverse 4s rules, please don't hesitate to ask questions throughout. Also, since you guys are sitting this first week, feel free to pop in anyway and watch if you want to get a feel for it prior to your first week!

Co-ed R4s Start Up Info

Hey Everyone,

I have all four R4s teams from last season confirmed at this time:
-Watts
-Marika
-Danica
-Chantal

I have had some further interest and am doing my best to try to decide what is the best why I could accommodate more teams, but still keeping a high caliber and amount of play time each week. 

I am considering making room for 1-2 more teams to join (Team Shelby, and Team Julia), but that means that each week 1-2 teams would have to sit. I have contacted the athletic coordinator at ACSS to find out just how many weeks we have left (that will most likely make the decision on whether teams are going to end up sitting for a week or two here and there).

I am hoping to make a decision by next week and confirm with those pending teams. 

Also, Rebecca Vane has offered that if any teams are looking for subs or extra players she is very interested. She played on team Marika last season. If you would like to get in touch with her please let me know and I will pass along her contact info. 

Thanks!

-Shanice Lee
-Impact (Celine Charbonneau)
-Eliminators (Taylor Kitteringham)
-Marika Togeretz

I have one team on the "wait list" that I would like to accommodate if possible:
-Sarah Rempel

If I do take a 9th team I would have to have 1 team sit every week, and with an already shorter season than usual I don't want you ladies to feel like you aren't getting enough play time. I'm hoping we will finish April 13 or 20th (including playoffs). Please let me know your thoughts? I know some teams are short players certain weeks, so maybe sitting once in a while might actually be an advantage?

Also, originally I was hoping to get started Thursday February 2, 2017 however, I have spoken with the athletic coordinator at ACSS and she informs me that there could potentially be another scheduling conflict. The gym may be taken by the basketball program on February 2 and 9th. She said she should know by January 28. If there is a conflict, she is going to try to see if she could give us Wednesday February 1 and 8th instead, but again there is no certainty yet.

I will keep you all posted as I find out more however, please be ready to play by early February :)

Thanks!

P.s. I do plan to run Reverse 4s in the Spring 2017 until the end of the school year.
