Week 5: October 13, 2016 + some details!

Hey Ladies, 

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

-Gym doors OPEN at 6:45pm
-Gym doors CLOSE at 9:40pm
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
730pm Marika vs. Impact


Court 1:
820pm Sambuca vs. Lindsay
9pm Sambuca vs. Eliminators

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.
