Thunder JO Volleyball Policies
Parent / Coach Conflict Policy
As the parent of a volleyball player, if you have occasion to “passionately” disagree with a decision that your daughter’s coach has made, you must observe a 24-hour cooling-off period before contacting the coach. Ultimately, unless the situation warrants it, parent involvement in matters of playing time, position, or other game-related issues is not acceptable. We want and expect the players to be able to communicate with their coach first. If after talking with the coach, things are not resolved, parent involvement is allowable in an appropriate manner. Situations that warrant it will be mediated by our board of directors.
Playing Time & Positions
This is competitive volleyball. Playing time is not guaranteed especially at older age levels. We strive for fair playing time whenever possible specifically at the younger age levels 12-13s. Early on, players show tendencies towards certain positions. From a competitive standpoint and the makeup of the team, players will most likely be asked to play those positions. All volleyball players must understand all positions and must possess a basic skill set for each position. Practice sessions will be used to develop and enhance those skills. There are also off-season opportunities through clinics and camps for continued player development.
Thunder Volleyball Bullying Policy
We expect our players, parents, and staff to act (on and off the court, at home, or in school) in a way that fosters a safe, civil and non-threatening environment in which all players, coaches, and parents are treated with dignity and respect. Our policy outlines what we consider bullying behavior and highlights the potential ramifications should an incident occur. It is mandatory that all participants understand our policy and sign a declaration of said understanding. The bullying policy is available for download on our website and will be made available to all at the registration meetings.
