Please note that we will be targeting 10 players per team as a maximum this year (with minimal exceptions) and overall team number of teams for the club will be more limited than in the past. This will likely lead to some cuts after tryouts, but will improve the overall competitiveness of the teams and the experience for the players. This will not apply to the training team.
The following age groups shall be in effect for athletes for the 2023-24 season.
Bills are due on the 2nd of the month, starting in January according to the fee schedule for each team as listed above. Please remit payment before the due date either through the “make a payment” button in the email or through your sports engine account at the link below.

Please note, you must be logged in to the same sportsengine account you created when you registered your daughter in order to see your invoice when you follow the link.
If you’d like to discuss anything in these invoices or have any other questions, please reach out to us at coavolleyballclub@gmail.com.
For girls 11 and younger, we will form team-in-training / non-travel teams that will practice 2 times per week. These teams will train primarily along with a chance to compete in two local COA tourneys. This is the first step towards being on a club team, but without travel at a cheaper price. Girls interested in this program will need to still register for tryouts and pay the initial tryout fee. The total for this team will be $425. If interested in this team, please notified club staff during check in on the first tryout day.
Player Expectations:
1. Be at practices/tourneys at the expected time.
2. Display good sportsmanship and respect for all. Period.
3. Be positive towards your teammates, the coaches, parents, officials, and support staff.
4. Prepare oneself before all competition, both mentally and physically. Rely on coaches, parents, and teammates when you need them. We are all family.
5. Be open with your coach on schedule conflicts, frustrations, and when you do not understand something. Try to take ownership of these discussions yourself, rather than relying on parent intervention. This will help your personal growth and development and better prepare you for the future.
6. Be careful of what you post on ALL social media posts; or texts. (see social media policy for more info)
7. Players are expected to give full effort, both mentally and physically, at all practices and tourneys. Improvement is not always easy. It is a challenge all COA players must face. Welcome adversity when it comes your way; it builds great character for your future!
8. Clean up after yourselves, both at practices and and tournaments. Don't leave water bottles, food wrappers, or clothing/gear for someone else to take care of. Be responsible for your own stuff!
9. All players are expected to take their turn line judging, down-reffing, keeping the books/score, etc. during tournaments. Be a good team mate, and improve your depth of knowledge of volleyball at the same time!
Parent Tourney expectations:
1. Try to be on time based on when the coach wants the girls at the playing site.
2. Stay positive at tourneys. Be a supportive parent for your daughter and the team. Avoid the negatives towards the players, the team, and the coach. Do not yell or argue with Refs or the working ref team.
3. Playing time is up to the coach. All players should see playing time each day of tourney, but it does not have to be equal. Parents need to understand this. There are many factors in determining where and how much each girl plays.
4. Parents are to use the '24 hour' policy for discussing any issues over the coaches' decisions at tourneys. This policy allows time for emotions to decrease before a discussion can happen. Parents are not to question or challenge a coach in any way during a tourney or at the tourney site.
5. Parents need to communicate with the coach ahead of time if she cannot attend a tourney for other commitments. Coaches will need time to adjust the team based on an absence.
6. Understand that if your daughter's team is reffing, the entire team is expected to stay for the working match whether your daughter is actually working or not. All teammates need to stay for each other to be fair.
