Information
AVBA is a non-profit organization and all USA coaches are paid for their time committment to the teams. The player fees you have to pay only cover a part of the total expenses of the club. AVBA must pay to rent the gyms for practice times and tournaments, pay a fee to the USA Regional Office to host a tournament, insurance, and pay entry fees for Ankeny teams to play in tournaments at other sites. Your player's entry fee and profits from the concession stands during tournaments hosted in Ankeny help cover all expenses for the Club. When your team hosts a tournament, volunteer to help so your coach is not stuck doing all the work. All parents need to help set-up the school before a tournament, work the concession stand during the tournament, and help clean up the school when the event is over. During the day, make sure people are treating out schools with respect and not doing things to damage school property. Parent Behavior at Tournaments One of the most important things we can teach our children is sportsmanship and parents need to set a good example. Be positive when cheering and do not yell at your player or tell them what to do while on the court. Let the coach do the coaching. Also, do not yell at line judges or referees. Many times these are young players from other teams and you would not like it if some 250-pound guy were screaming at your daughter because he though she made a bad call. The kids are out there learning how to play and have fun. Be supportive and positive with all the player on your team. We want other teams and towns to think of AVBA as a class act. When leaving tournaments in other towns, thank the host team for all their work. Make sure your team picks up all the garbage around your team area before you leave the school. Make sure your team treats the other school with respect and only warms up with volleyballs in designated areas. Playing Time: All participants are guaranteed equal training time in practice to learn the sport of volleyball. The effort demonstrated in practice and the skills the player learns will help determine how much playing time occurs during tournaments. The goal of AVBA is to provide each participant as much playing time as possible during tournaments, but there are no guarantees. Player Instructions for Practice Times
