What a
great weekend for the Oahe JO volleyball program. It was a great ending
for our 12's team who finished 1st in the Silver tournament! What a huge
improvement of skill from January 8th to March 24th. Thanks to the
parents for their dedication to get the girls to practices and work with
them to make them better! Keep working on the skills and it will be fun
to see them again next year! A few of you asked about a camp here this
summer, I am working on getting
something together, but not sure how it is going to work for sure, but I
will definitely contact you with details if I get it together.
14's had a great weekend as well. 14's 1 finished 8th out of 24 teams
which is a great accomplishment. They didn't get a medal, but they
qualified for the gold tournament which is a big deal. 14's 2 placed
2nd in the Bronze division. So they had another good weekend!
Opening weekend for the 16's and 18's was also good! 16's placed 3rd out
of 20 teams in the Gold Division. 18's got 1st in the Silver. So a great
opening weekend for 16's and 18's and looking forward to their success
throughout the rest of the season.

Uniforms: We will have them by Thursday night's practice. Make sure they
have black spandex, good tennis shoes only worn in the gym, knee pads,
pony tails, and NO JEWELRY!
Hopefully the weather holds out for all of us traveling. My cell phone
number is 222-1210 or Tessa's is 222-2522 if you need to get in touch
with any of us. We are staying in the same hotel as the team, so we will
be able to check in with you once we get there. I hope you are all ready
for a fun weekend in St. Cloud! For those of you new to the program, get
ready for lots of volleyball!!

HERE
is the tournament schedules for March 3rd. For the 14's group, Sauk
Rapids is right next to St. Cloud, so no need to worry about a different
location. If you have any questions, please let me know. 12's
team, we ref the 3rd game which shows starts at 9:50, so we will need to
be at our location at 9 o'clock, as far as the 14's, you will need to be
in your location ready to go 1/2 hour before your match is scheduled.
Coaches will let you know more next week.

rules and play schedule. |
| 2-25-2007 (Kacy) Hello everyone,
Thanks to all of you who came to practice today and for those of you who
missed out, we will be having the rules/officials clinic at another
time, probably March 11th around 4 o'clock. I will keep you updated
after I check into more details. I would like for all of the parents to
look on the following website:
www.ncrusav.org and
on the home page there is a scoring PowerPoint presentation that would
be good to go through with your daughter. We went through it today, but
there is a lot of information for these girls to know and it might help
if they went through it another time. Also, if there was a parent or 2
that would be familiar with scoring that could sit at the table with the
girls for this first tournament to help them through it. The coaches
have to be the up officials, so that leaves the rest of the girls on
their own trying to score and line judge by themselves. Also, I
mentioned to the girls that it would be a good idea to buy a whistle for
them to have at the tournaments so we aren't passing germs. You can get
them at Wal-Mart for pretty cheap.
Practice this week: NO PRACTICE on Monday night, and Thursday night's
practice will remain the same or right after the girls basketball game.
For those of you not attending the basketball game, we will have
practice from 8:45-9:45 since there isn't any school on Friday.
This weekend: 12's need to be at their site dressed and ready by 9:00
am. It will be helpful for them to watch the match ahead of ours to see
how the girls play at their level.
14's need to be at their site by 7:45 and on the court at 8:00 ready to
warm up. This is going to be a very long day for all of us, so please be
sure your daughters get a good night's sleep and a good breakfast!! If
they plan on swimming, that needs to be done before 7 o'clock and I
would say no longer than 45 minutes. You will be surprised how quickly
they wear out on Saturday. They can have water bottles and should have
water bottles because water fountains won't be easily accessible and
they won't be able to run and get a drink during time outs or between
games.

(Kacy) The Fargo lady
called back last night at 10 o'clock and said, "We have room for all
of your teams in our tournament." So, we are going to stick with that
Fargo tournament since we have our money sent in and it is on the
calendar and it will be way easier for the coaches, since we were
looking at being in one place Saturday and then having to drive a
couple hours to be a the next tournament, so March 24th 12's and 14's
will be in Fargo and March 25th 16's and 18's will be in Fargo. I hope
this doesn' t cause any problems. Also, for the 12's, on March 18th,
we will be in Marshall for the 12's tournament instead of Pipestone on
the 17th. |
| Reserve Sunday, February 25th from 1:30-3/3:30
for the rules/officials clinic. We are having it here at the Georgia
Morse Middle School. We have not been to a clinic since this program
has started and I feel it is very important. It is MANDATORY!!! All
the other clinics will require you to travel, so please make it to
this one unless you want to make a long trip for an hour and a half
presentation. This is going to teach you any new rules and how to
officiate correctly, so when we go to tournaments, we do a good job!

| 1-30-2007 (Kacy) Hello,
Sorry to bug you all again, but we are still looking for volunteers to
help with reffing on Saturday. Thanks to those of you who have
responded. We really could use 3 more people for the morning shift and
3 more for the afternoon shift. Morning shift is from 7:30-12 and
afternoon is 12-approx. 4. Find a partner to help you out!

| 1-23-2007: (Kacy) I
am needing volunteers to referee on February 3rd for the Easter Seals
benefit volleyball tournament. They are planning to have 4 courts set
up at Riggs High School gym and will need 2 refs per court. One person
to blow the whistle and one to keep score. Shouldn't be too strenuous
but it will require some time. The tournament starts at 7:30 am and
the first shift would be from 7:30- 12 and the last would be for the
tournament from 12- 4ish. If we can get enough volunteers, we could
break the shifts down even more. Please let me know if you can
volunteer some time! I would like to know ASAP!
