Initial League Info from Leanne (league coordinator)

Posted by Tegan Woo on Oct 11 2007 at 03:01PM PDT

Hello Ladies,

I’m sure you’ve all been wondering… we have 9 teams for the league this year, which will mean a double header every 7 weeks or so. League will be starting on Tuesday, October 16th, for a total of 21 weeks. This means we have time for 3 complete round robins if we start right away on the 16th. We will not have referees for the first 3-4 weeks (as per usual). This may be for the best because it will give us 3-4 weeks to get back into volleyball shape before the referees come along with their whistles.

As for league fees, they have gone up this year because we are now paying for the majority of the gym use. Because Naden plays in the league, we are not being charged for using one of the courts so Naden will not be asked to pay for any of the gym fees. Also, I have been told that there is a good chance ref fees will increase. Taking all this into account, fees per team will be $500. Please bring ONE cheque per team payable to Jennifer Dela Vega for $500 on the first night of league to pay for your team’s fees. Naden will be charged $250 for their part of the ref’ing fees.

As for scorekeeping, it will be the same as last year. When your team is scheduled to scorekeep (early or late) you will need to supply one scorekeeper for each of the courts at the scheduled time. Because we are playing double headers, there will be one week when the late game will have all three courts going so please take note of this if your team is scheduled to scorekeep that week.

The net setup/take down will be the same as last year. Teams playing early will be responsible for setting up the net on the court they will be playing on, and teams playing late will be responsible for taking down the net on the court they played on. The antennas and league bag will be locked up as always; however, the poles and pads will now be found near the referees stand. We do not need to put the poles and pads in that second room anymore. As a reminder, please return the keys to the front desk after setting up the nets so the late teams can find the keys to return the equipment at the end of the night.

I have attached a blank copy of the roster form from last year. Please complete it and send it back to me at this address before we start on the 16th because I need to do a master list for the gym staff.

So, for the first night, we have:

Court 1 – 6:45 start (6:30 warm-up) is Erika’s team vs. Groovy Girls* Court 2 – 6:45 start (6:30 warm-up) is ND2 vs. Naden Court 3 – 6:45 start (6:30 warm-up) is Erin’s team vs. Paradise Cove Scorekeeping all 3 courts: Storm Court 1 – 8:15 start (8:00 warm-up) is Storm vs. Groovy Girls* Court 2 – 8:15 start (8:00 warm-up) is Plan B vs. Sherri’s team Scorekeeping both courts: ND2
  • Groovy Girls have the double header the first week.

As you can see, most weeks the 3rd court will not be used during the late session. So, any players wanting to stay and play, please feel free to do so but you must let the teams playing on Court 3 know so they don’t take the nets down too early. There will be a few weeks throughout the season when we will have a scheduled match on Court 3 during the late time slot. I am hoping to have the schedule out to you later in the week. Let me know of changes to any team names.

I think that is all. Of course if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for taking the time to read the entire email.

Leanne
