th Dear 7 ​ Grade Volleyball Players and Parents, ​

Welcome to Edgerton Volleyball! We hope to have another fantastic season! This is a list of things that you for this season.

● Practice will start the first day of school.

● No student may practice or play until: ○ A physical is completed and turned in to the middle school ○ The athletic agreement is filled out online – Go to MS website under sports ○ $20 fee is turned in to the middle school

● We will have an “A” and a “B” team. These teams are at the coach’s discretion and are based on skill levels.

● Players must be able to accept coaching input and constructive criticism without excuses.

● Practice is mandatory! Girls who do not come to practice do not play in the . Parents must contact the coach directly if your student will not be in school for either a game or practice.

· If you have to miss a practice or are going to be late, please let your coach know in advance. Do not use your teammates to deliver the message, YOU deliver it in person. A ​ ​ ​ ​ commitment to attend all practices and games is expected. If you have an unexcused absence from a game or practice, you will not play in the next game.

· Excel in the classroom. You will either pay the price now, or you’ll pay a bigger price later! If you can’t pass you can’t play. If you need to come late to practice for academic reasons, talk to me before practice that day. Academics come first!

· Respect of coaches, players and officials is expected at all times. Breaking of this rule will result in consequences by the Athletic Director. Players are to listen and concentrate on what the coach says at all times. Represent the Edgerton Seventh Grade Volleyball program appropriately on the court, in the classroom, and in the community. This includes social networking sites and the posting of negative comments to or about your teammates.

● Practice and games will be held in the High School Fieldhouse for 7th grade, other than the Milton game which we will play in the MS gym. ○ The first week we will practice together from 3:20-4:30 ○ After that the “A” and “B” teams will practice separately. The “B” team will practice first. Members of the “A” team are highly encouraged to help out at “B” team practices.

● For the first half of the season the “A” team will play first. The second half of the ​ ​ season the “B” team will play first. All games will be in the high school field . ​ ​ All players on both teams are required to stay and watch the other team’s games. ​ ​

● Students may ride home from away games with their own parents only! No student can ride home with another student’s parents. Any student who rides home with their parent must have their parent sign you out with the coach.

● Parents: PLEASE be at the school to pick up your player in a timely manner from ​ games and practice! Coaches cannot leave students alone and have had to wait upward of an hour for parents to pick up their children. Please pick up your child ​ within 10min. of end of practice or the bus returning! Students that have to stay later will ​ run the risk of only playing in home games.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Ms. Skifton at: [email protected].
