April 11th Tournament Details

A letter was given to each girl in 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th grade last night with the game times and the time they should arrive at their tournament on Saturday. Below are the these letters as well. Please feel free to email Coach Smith with questions at smithm@spooner.k12.wi.us. 7th grade does not play this weekend.

4th & 5th grade schedule click here.

6th grade schedule click here.

8th grade schedule click here.


Note for 7th grade only:

On Thursday the 7^th grade coaches would like to host practice from 4:00 until 7:30. Even though the 7^th grade teams do not play in a tournament until April 18^th, the coaches and players feel that they need additional time to work on rotations and court experience. The 5-1 rotation is much different than what the players were used to in the past. We do understand that some girls may not be able to be there at 4:00, but if at all possible, please try to make as much of it as possible. Girls should pack a sack lunch to eat during a supper break. Thank you and please let us know if you have any questions.

Spring League 2015

This information is being given to all 4th-8th grade girls today:

Spring League 2015 letter and attachment click here.

Below is the letter, but the link contains both letter and attachment.

2/8/2015

Dear Youth Volleyball Parents,

                It is that time of the year, spring youth volleyball. We will again be joining the Great Northwest Volleyball League.  We are excited about this program and to once again work with our 4^th-8^th grade players. This is a great opportunity for our younger players to learn the fundamentals, understand the game, and have fun with volleyball. 

Currently we have two coaches lined up, and are looking for two more. The pay would be in the form of gas gift cards and would be a per tournament/per practice amount. Please fill out the correct section on the attached form and return it by Tuesday, February 17^th to the Elementary or Middle School office or directly to Coach Melissa Smith. (3^rd Grade Teacher) High School players will be invited to volunteer as coaches with you.

                This year we would also like to create a spring league volleyball board. The four coaches will be asked to be on the board, along with Coach Melissa Smith, but we would also like two parents to be on the board. The board would meet once before the registration meeting on March 3rd, once after the registration meeting, once during spring league, and once after spring league is done. The board would be in charge of determining the coach gas card pay, registration fee, tournament choices, and more. If this is something that interests you, please fill out the correct section on the attached form and return it to the Elementary or Middle School office or directly to Coach Melissa Smith (3^rd Grade Teacher) by Tuesday, February 17^th. If more than two parents return this form, we will randomly select two parents to be on this board.

                Lastly, just so that we can get a sense of the number of players, please fill out the interest section on the attached form and return it to the Elementary or Middle School office or directly to Coach Melissa Smith (3^rd Grade Teacher) by Tuesday, February 17^th. This is not saying that you are for sure registering, but that you have interest in registering. More information can be found on this spring league at www.gnbl.org  and then clicking the Volleyball League tab. 

Just some notes:

·         Practices would be most likely on Tuesday and Thursday nights again. We are hoping to have them run from 6-7:30 p.m. Practices will start the week of March 16^th.

·         We will attend three meets. Meets will most likely be on three of these Saturdays:  April 11, 18, 25, and May 2.

·         We will host one meet for each team. This will allow us to earn money back to refund some of the registration fee. Parents, players, and coaches will be responsible for helping out at one of these meets.

·         The registration fee will fall somewhere between $25 and last year’s $50.

·         Registration is set for March 10^th at 6:30 p.m. in the High School commons. Any players wanting to play in spring league MUST attend this meeting. If you have questions about registration please contact Coach Smith at 715-635-2174 ext. 1224 or email her at smithm@spooner.k12.wi.us.

·         Just so you are aware – this league is not through the Spooner School District, it is a league outside of the school. Coach Melissa Smith is the high school varsity volleyball coach.

Spring League Information

Information on Spring League will be coming home this week. Please complete and return to the ES or MS office or directly to Coach Melissa Smith (3rd Grade) by February 17th. Any questions can be emailed to smithm@spooner.k12.wi.us or via phone: 715-635-2174 ext. 1224
