Updates and Reminders

Hello families,

What a great weekend for both the JV and Varsity teams!  The girls are already showing improvement, and watching them win is exciting!  I have a few updates and reminders.

Just a reminder, the weight lifting schedule changed to Mondays and Fridays.  The girls will lift from 5:00-5:30 on Mondays and 4:00-4:30 on Fridays. 

Also, a big thank you to all of the parents and siblings (thanks to Natalie's sister) for helping volunteer at the games.  Another special thank you to our line judges (Kami's Dad and Yashi's Dad) for volunteering for all three matches today!  Just a reminder, if you have NOT signed up to volunteer at least 5-6 times for the year you need to contact Polly Clavijo ASAP.  Every family MUST volunteer in order for the season to run smoothly.  We have a lot of holes to fill and have noticed that some families still need to sign up.  I realize that some of you may have not been at the parent meeting to sign up, so please email Polly Clavijo at pclavijo@revoluntiongroup.com ASAP to sign up at least 5 or 6 times throughout the year.  Our season is already in full swing, so we need your help!  Thanks again for your time and commitment to the program!

Lastly, we ask that parents are respectful of coaches time before and after a game.  Coaches use the time beforehand to look over lineups and prepare for the upcoming match.  After a match, coaches are usually collecting items and rehashing the games in their minds, so we do ask that you do not approach a coach to discuss the game or give input.  We fully understand that parents may have ideas of how to improve the team, but we do ask you leave that up to the coaches.  Thanks for your understanding with this matter. 

We look forward to a positive season with such an amazing group of girls!  Have a great weekend!

-Coach R

Hello CA VB Parents,

I, Melanie Vodnick (Mother of Lauren) and Polly Clavijo (Mother of Ana) will be your 2013 Volleyball team parents.  We are tasked with coordinating volunteers, snack, spirit ware, senior night and the banquet for our Volleyball Vikes.  Needless to say, we need your help to make the season run smoothly. 

As you likely know, Volleyball is the MOST demanding sport for parent volunteers.  Each match requires 2-7 volunteers to make it ‘run’.  For this reason attendance at the Parent meeting on Tue. Aug. 13th at 7:30 PM, is very important.  PLEASE come with your calendar so you can sign up to support our girls. 

Something to think about… Polly and I need parents who are willing to lead the following activities;
·       Senior night (2 non senior parents)
·       Banquet (2 parents)
·       Snack coordinator (1 parent)
If you are interested in asisting, please send me an email (mvodnick@gmail.com ) 

The Viking Corner team has identifying an assortment of general spirit ware which can be ordered via the Viking Corner web site;
http://www.shopvikingcorner.com/ .  Any of  the items ordered will have a CA Volleyball logo.  I encourage you to order quickly, because quantities are limited.  Please note, in keeping with tradition, the girls will also design a 2014 ‘custom’ spirit T-shirt.

 If you have not already done so, please go to the CA VB Blog and sign up to receive emails.  This is how you will receive ongoing  information about schedule updates, team activities and general information (photos…). 
·       Log onto the CA VB Blog  http://columbusacademyvolleyball.blogspot.com/
·       Under the 'Updates via email'    box you can input your email address and info   will be sent to you automatically

 All the best,
Melanie & Polly
