2020-2021 Thunder JO Volleyball

Parents and Players,

PLEASE check the website for Practice dates and times updates.  We were able to get a couple of more gyms and a couple of more hours over the next two weeks.  We updated and moved teams to maximize the gym space available.  We believe that we are set for the next TWO weeks and are not expecting any changes.  We will start working on getting the February schedule entered into the website.

Thanks for your patience and flexibility!

Hello Everyone!

We wanted to communicate tournament expectations that the board of directors has set for the Frostbite Festival tournaments (both this weekend & next weekend). The coaches will help remind everyone of these rules and may have additional expectations or rules of their own. Please know that we want to keep the players as safe & healthy as possible and think these will be helpful ways to do so!

1. Players should bring at least 2 masks (each day), hand sanitizer, & a labeled water bottle
   • Bringing multiple masks will allow players to change their mask when it gets sweaty
   • Label your water bottle so it doesn't get mixed up with a teammate's because sharing water bottles is NOT allowed
2. There will be no team get-togethers or team dinners organized by team managers
   • Although we would LOVE to do team bonding, we also want to get to continue playing volleyball so we hope this will help control the spread!
3. Players are not allowed to swim or go in the hot tub
   • With minimal time to condition before tournaments, we want players to maintain as much of their energy as possible. So we are asking them not to swim or go in the hot tub at this tournament.
4. Be smart & stay healthy!

• NOTE: There are NO concessions available! Please bring any snacks, drinks, or food you will need during competition play!

Parents & Players,

Good News - We have ALL players assigned to NCR Team Rosters!!!!  Thanks for all you help and patience with getting this completed.

We do have one more form that needs to be filled out.  Frostbite is using the JVA form for Release of Liability.  We need to have one of these completed for each player.  This is a one time form that the coaches will keep with them at all times.  There is a link to this document below so that it can be printed and signed.  Please send this with your players to their next practice or bring to the tournament.

IF you are unable to print this let me know and I will print one for your player and give to the coaches.  I am not sure if Frostbite will ask to see these before we are allowed to play or not so please do everything you can to get this to your coaches.
 

Thanks!
Jim
