Some teams already have full rosters. We realize that the deadline for acceptance is not until November 7 at 9 PM. However, if you know you are not accepting our offer, please let us give someone else the opportunity so they can decide what they need to do. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will try to do everything we can to make this a reality for anyone that wants to participate. After rosters are full, we will offer positions to some to practice with a team. Anyone that is a ‘practice player’ attends all practices and scrimmages, is eligible to register for skills sessions and clinics, and might be asked to be a full member if someone on that team cannot continue to participate. We must still adhere to OHSAA rules regarding the number of girls from the same school roster. This does not pertain to 10s, 11s, and 12s. There is no limit for these age groups or parochial schools not members of the OHSAA. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We know there are a lot of girls that haven’t been offered a position. We are working on putting together clinics or practice squads to include those girls. We are working with the coaching staffs of local schools (Hamilton, Middletown, and Talawanda to name a few) to help those that are not able to play club volleyball the chance to improve their skills. We will have more on this later. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have accepted an offer, please go back to your Webpoint account and update your membership. We will start announcing skills sessions soon. They are normally 1.5-2 hours in duration and $15-$25. We work on specific skills or sets of skills. These sessions are open to any member of USA Volleyball. If they are members of another club, they must have the permission of their club director to attend. They are first come first served. If you register for a session you are responsible for the fee. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are excited to get started. We are developing practice and tournament schedules. We will have practice times and dates of tournaments to review at the Acceptance Meetings for 10s-14s. Remember that you have to be re\presented at the meeting. We will work with those that have their D.C class trips next weekend. <span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span> We didn’t realize the trip was next week.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
