Teams. The teams are mostly set. There will be some movement with the 16-1 team and we will have kids “Swing to 16-1” and practice with them. The 16-2 and 16-3 will be equal in talent (as close as possible ). This way, they will be able to play at the highest level in the Power League.
Both Teams (16-2 and 16-3) will also practice together. We need to be sure that each team (16-2 & 16-3) will have setters, liberos, middles and outside hitters.
Teamsnap: Be on the lookout this week for your TeamSnap invite. It will go to the email that was used when you registered for tryouts. When you accept your invite, please include the following in your profile:
Players email and cell number
Parents email and cell number
TeamSnap will be the method used by coaches to communicate with the team as well as for players/families to communicate with their coach.
It will also be where you mark your availability for any practices/tournaments that you are unable to attend.
Notes for Teams:
1. Salness is coaching 16-1 team.
Salness is the head coach for Sunset so all 16s Sunset kids will be on 16-2 and 16-3.
2. Emma/Mayla/Joely Coaching 16-2 and 16-3.
Joely is the JV coach at Century, so all Century kids will be on 16-1 with Salness.
