ACHIEVEMENT BY COMMITMENT AND EXCELLENCE
Welcome to the
We will field multiple teams based on the availability of qualified coaches and the number of interested girls.. All coaches are volunteers and are generally not compensated for their efforts. It is a good idea for you and your child to discuss if you wish to accept a position on the team prior to having been offered a position. There are a few things to take into consideration when making your decision, such as; can this club and team meet my child's needs? Can we, daughter and parent(s), meet the time and financial requirements of the Club and team.
While the number of practices and tournaments may vary with
each team, as a parent and player you can expect practice 1-2 times per week,
2-6 hours per week. Our teams practice in the
St. Louis Metro Volleyball Club prides itself on the development of players. Our coaches are dedicated to the betterment of the player and the game of volleyball. The goal of St. Louis Metro Volleyball Club is to aid players in their pursuit to play Volleyball at the high school and college level.
As a St. Louis Metro Volleyball Club Parent(s), your obligations will be:
· Make every effort to have your daughter at all practices and games, on time
· Promote Club spirit
· Harbor good will towards the Club and the Game
· Leave the coaching to the coaches
· Each parent is responsible for supporting the Club fund-raisers
· Work the concession stand for tournaments hosted by St. Louis Metro Volleyball Club
The player's obligations are:
· To make every effort to be at practice and games, on time
· Give 100%!
· Be a team player!
· Harbor good sportsmanship!
Club fees of $275.00 are due upon commitment to St. Louis Metro Volleyball Club. An additional $150.00 is due within 30 days of commitment.. Fees cover expenses for Club fees, USAV & AAU Player Registration, USAV & AAU Team Registration, and USAV & AAU Coach Registration. A uniform fee is additional. Tournament fees are shared equally by team players. Coaches are not charged fees. All players are responsible for their own travel costs, locally and out of town. The team playing in the out of town tournament will pay for the coach's lodging. Some teams will be charged for additional coaches travel expenses. If gym rental is necessary, money will be collected from the team incurring the charge. Additional fees may be incurred based on the number of tournaments played. These additional costs may be offset by participation in club fund raising activities, which are available during the season. Players will not be allowed to participate in a tournament if fees are not paid. Fees are non-refundable.
