CLIPPARD
YMCA VOLLEYBALL CLUB IS ON FACEBOOK! Click
here and join our facebook group. You will recieve updates on schedules, how
our teams are doing, what are players are doing in our community etc. Show your
support for our Club! 2010 PRICES The
current cost for club continues to rise in our region and we are doing our best
to keep costs low for our members as well as staying competitive in the region.
The cost of the 2010 Club Season will be determined by the amount of players who
accept our offers, amount of tournaments, and the availability of gym time. Look
in the coming weeks for prices to be posted once our budget has been approved. Based
on the amount of athletes we have show up to tryouts and keep per team, the cost
for the 2010 season can be anywhere from $575-$650. The more athletes we keep,
the lower cost to you so please encourage your friends and neighbors to come out
as well!
2010 PAYMENT SCHEDULE
- First
payment will be due 10 days after the tryout.
- Second payment due
December 15, 2009
- Third payment due January 10, 2009
- Fourth
& Final payment due February 1, 2009
Payments must be received
by 3:00pm on the due date or it is considered late and your athlete will be asked
to sit out of practice until payment is in. NEW
OVR RULES FOR THE 2010 SEASON - Team shorts must be identical.
That means extraneous designs or pin-striping are not considered identical to
plane shorts, even if the shorts are otherwise the same color.
- Net
contact rule: In essence, contact with the net is not a fault unless it interferes
with play. "Interferes with play" is specifically defined as contacting
the top band of the net; taking support from the net while playing the ball; creating
an advantage over the opponent; or making actions which hinder the opponent's
opportunity to play the ball. That means there will be fewer net calls this year.
I encourage you to view the following video on YouTube to familiarize yourself
with how this rule will be applied: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ1FHRVPIqc
- Center line rule: The rule is the same regarding a player's
foot/feet the foot/feet must be on/above the centerline. However, any body
part above the feet may cross the centerline and touch the opponent's court provided
this does not interfere with play.
For a complete list of
the changes to the 2009-2010 Season please visit http://ovr.org/officiating/rule_changes.php PRACTICES Practices
will begin the week of January 4, 2010. Each team will have two 2-hour practices
per week for a total of four hours practice time. One session will be held on
a week night either at the Clippard YMCA or Mt. Airy Elementary, depending on
the day and the other session will be on a Sunday morning/ evening (the schedule
rotates so that each team has early, mid afternoon, and late practices). Practices
will be determined depending on gym schedule and coaches' work/family schedules. TOURNAMENTS We
are a low travel club, meaning we participate in up to 5 tournaments (beginning
in February/March) that are up to or less than an hour away from our base in Cincinnati,
OH. This usually includes Northern Kentucky, Oxford, Mason, Lebanon, Middletown,
Dayton etc. Our regional tournament will be held in May in Columbus, Ohio and
is the only overnight tournament offered. FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE The YMCA offers affordable programs and services designed
to benefit people of all incomes and backgrounds. Fees are based on the actual
cost to provide each program. The YMCA uses contributed funds from the Strong
Kids Campaign to ensure those unable to pay the stated fees are able to participate.
If fees are a concern, please inquire at the Welcome Center for a scholarship
application form. All records
and inquiries are kept confidential, and the form is simple to complete. Please
do not hesitate to email Kristin Jahn at clippardvolleyballclub@yahoo.com
with specifics regarding financial assistance. I will do my best to help in anyway
possible. If you do not think you can afford club volleyball but would like your
daughter to tryout please fill out a scholarship form ahead of time and give it
to the Welcome Center or my mailbox (there is about a 2 week processing time on
forms). PAYMENT PLANS If
you do not qualify financially for scholarships through the Strong Kids Campaign,
we can offer to put you on a payment plan. These are based on financial need and
special circumstances. We can extend your payment period or create a payment schedule,
for example $50 due every two weeks until balance is paid off. Please contact
Kristin Jahn at clippardvolleyballclub@yahoo.com to set up a payment plan.
CONTACT Most contact is done through
email at clippardvolleyballclub@yahoo.com.
Although if you need to reach me by phone you can call and leave a voicemail at
(513) 362-2000 x 2562. I will be checking it when I am in the office, but email

COACHING PHILOSOPHY
"The will to win is meaningless without the will to prepare!" --
Joe Gibbs As a coach I expect many things, but the most important thing to
me is the teams' desire, as a whole or as one; desire to play, desire to prepare,
desire to WIN. | SARAH
