Q: What is the difference between USAV Teams and AAU Teams? A: USAV is for elite level players who compete in USAV multi-day tournaments in major cities within the state of Florida. AAU Teams compete in mostly one day tournaments within 2 hours of Lake County.
Q: How much will it cost for my daughter to play? A: To Be Determined by 11-01-08.
Q: How do your fees compare with other clubs? A: Research shows that we are generally 25% to 50% lower than surrounding clubs. We are a very lean club...our coaches donate most of their time during practice and competitions.
Q: Can I pay my fees with a credit card? A: To Be Determined by 11-01-08.
Q: What is included in the club fee? A: All uniforms, registration fees, secondary insurance coverage, membership fees, coaches supplements, tournament fees, gym rental, many hours of instruction, and related administrative expenses. We guarantee your daughter a minimum of playing 25 points at any Tournament.
Q: What is not included in the club fee? A: Hotel, airfares, ground transportation, and food. Your daughter will not be guaranteed any more playing time than 25 points per Tournament.
Q: When do I have to pay the club fee? A: See chart below:
Q: How can my daughter raise money to help pay for her club fees?
A: Team organized fund raisings such as car
washes or the donations from local businesses to team players during the
regular club season to help players raise money for their club fees is
allowed. The Club will produce a Media Guide and players will have the
opportunity to sell advertisements where 50% of the cost will be
credited back to the player for her fees. Q: What if I have an unpaid balance from last year? A: All balances must be paid in full before you will be eligible to participate in tryouts. Your Club Director will let you know if you have an unpaid balance.
Q: What if I am unsure about wanting to play club volleyball? A: Come to the tryout and see what you think about this level of play. Please make the club director aware of your intentions after your tryout. If you are still unsure, then ask to be considered as an alternate only.
Q: When will I have to commit to the club? A: The coach of each team will contact the players that have been selected to play following the date of the final tryout. Once contacted, each player will have 1 day to accept or decline the position. Once accepted, a player will need to make their first payment date (to be determined for 2009 season), to secure their spot on the team.
Q: What if I decide not to play after I commit to the club? A: We do not issue refunds once you commit to the club and money is expended on behalf of your child. Also, club director approval is required for any transfer if you decide to transfer to another club after Dec 1st. Transfers will be only be approved once fees are paid in full.
Q: What do I do if I have a problem or concern during the season? A: The club director selects a Parent Liaison (PL) from each team to help with any problems or concerns. The PL is responsible for helping to find a resolution and is the primary point of contact throughout the season. If a resolution is not reached, then the Club Director will get involved to assist.
Q: What if I disagree with the coaches decision about my daughters skills or playing time? A: Please wait at least 24 hours before you contact the team's Parent Liaison to discuss your concerns. ( A new day always brings a new perspective.) Immediately after losing a game or match is not the proper time to share your thoughts (or emotions) with the coach. Always address the issue...never attack the person. No parent is allowed to address the Coach directly on these issues. All concerns must be directed through the Parent Liaison
Q: Are boys allowed to play? A: No, unfortunately we are not equipped either in coaching staff or in gym space & time for practices, to have a boy's team.
Q: When will my daughter practice? A: Teams will normally practice two nights per week. Practice schedules are posted on another page of this website.
Q: How are the age divisions determined? A: The age divisions are determined using the USAV age definition chart below: 2008 USAV Tryouts Age Definitions
Q: How is this club governed? A: Our club is governed primarily by the club director with oversight from a board of directors.
Q: Will my daughter have to play only within her age division? A: Athletes may be asked to play up in an age division if it will benefit the player and the club. Athletes may not play in a lower age division.
Q: How is lodging handled? A: Parents will be responsible for making their own lodging reservations for out-of-town tournaments. Once the playing schedule is posted, tournament sponsored hotel information will be made available on the website. Remember to make your reservations early to ensure that you will have a room near the event. Hotels fill up quickly!
Q: How will we get to competitions? A: Parents are responsible to provide/arrange for transportation to all practices and tournaments. Note: If you allow your daughter to ride with another family, make sure she has her medical release form with her in the event that medical care is required while she is outside of your care. Originals forms will be maintained by the club director.
Q: What should I expect if this is my first year? A: Expect the best and prepare for the unexpected would be the best advice. Schedules change, players (and coaches) get sick, referees make bad calls, gymnasiums are sometimes freezing cold, and days occasionally seem long. But, in spite of these small setbacks, watching your daughter develop character and confidence while she learns to successfully interact with a new team and develop lasting friendships and skills makes it well worth the investment. Ask the players and parents that are in their 8th year with us.
