Facilities
It's All Volleyball (IAV) will be our primary facility for practices. As guests, the club expects each player to respect the facility, the equipment, and the staff. Please be sure to keep the facilities clean, equipment tidy, and adhere to all of the rules provided by IAV.
Practice
Scheduled practice time is START time, and not arrival time. Players and coaches are expected to arrive at least 5-10 minutes prior to the start of each practice or for any team-related discussions. To avoid distractions, practices are closed. Accommodations may be made at the discretion of coaches and/or club director. All athletes are expected to attend every practice, only an injury or illness that is serious enough to keep the player home from school or a genuine family emergency are legitimate excuses for missing practice. Regardless of the reason, if a player isn't at practice, her playing time may be affected and players should let their coach know if they cannot be at practice ahead of time. Players are expected to bring water to every practice and tournaments. No chewing gum or loose hanging jewelry is allowed, and hair should be pulled back out of the face. Players must help to maintain the facility they are using. Players will not leave until all duties are performed and their coaches release them. Dress code must be followed.
