MANDATORY PRACTICES
Practices are on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:00pm for the Middle School Red team and 3:45-5:00pm for the Black and High School teams at Friendship Baptist Church of Fairview, click here for location.
Make sure that your daughter arrives on time and is dressed appropriately before each practice time begins. As stated these are mandatory practices; a minimum of one full weekly team practice is required for each player. Each girl will have a specific job on the team and they will need to learn their position during the team practices.
PRACTICE ATTIRE
Consists of the player’s practice t-shirts (Issued at 1st practice), modest shorts, socks, good sneakers, knee pads, and a volleyball.
GAME ATTIRE & BALL
One game uniform will be issued per player and each uniform will have to be returned back to the CHANT organization in the same or similar condition that it is received in. In order to keep the uniform appearance consistent a link showing the preferred volleyball shoes, ASICS® Gel Rocket 4, is provided; if possible please purchase for your player. You may be able to find them from another online distributor or store of your choice. The shoes have to be either all WHITE or the RED/SILVER/WHITE style pictured here. If you would like a coupon for $10.00 off of your purchase at Sports Authority that is good for one year you can request one by email from Coach Malone (Click on name).
The TACHIKARA® brand volleyball is recommended and all knee pads are to be BLACK only.
CHANT BAGS
If possible each girl should have a CHANT sport’s bag. The bags are very sturdy with plenty of room to hold all of the player’s gear and players may personalize their bag however they like. The bags are $20 and can be used for all sports. We recommend once you have purchased a bag, that your daughter packs an extra pair of shoes or flip-flops inside so that she doesn’t wear her volleyball shoes outside the court area, to avoid wear and tear on them. Please contact Coach Malone by email (Click on name) if you would like to purchase a bag.
EXPECTATIONS
Playing time is not guaranteed for any player. All girls who use their talents wisely, put forth a true effort, push themselves to work hard, have a good attitude, show team spirit, and respect their coaches and teammates will be the ones that get the most playing time. All players have to earn their positions and playing time! Upon completion of the player assessments teams have been divided as follows: the RED team, the BLACK team, and the JV team.
Players on the RED Jr. High team will have the opportunity to move-up once Coaches Malone and Stone see noticeable skills improvement, hustle, and that the athlete’s game play is consistently at the same level as the girls on the BLACK team. This is in place for both the girls and the team.
To ensure the building of good teamwork, all players will be broken up by their assigned team during practice also.
DISCIPLINE
Although it is hoped there will not be any problems with a CHANT player, we want to make everyone aware that if an issue should arise requiring discipline, depending upon the offense, Coaches Malone and Stone will discuss the matter and determine an appropriate and measured court time correction and reflection. The least offense will keep a player on the bench for an allotted time set by the coaches. A major offense will get them ejected from a game and will warrant a meeting with the coaches, player, and the parents. Not any CHANT Coach will tolerate disrespect towards any of the coaches, helpers, another teammate, game opponents, or fans.
GAMES
The first scrimmage is at CHANT’s home gym, Farmersville Baptist Church, in mid-August. An extensive listing of games is already scheduled and when fully complete the volleyball families will get notice of the schedule. The majority of the games will be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a few Saturday games and a couple of tournaments.
CARPOOLING
With our players coming from all different areas and diverse family schedules, carpooling is definitely encouraged. Once you have met and feel comfortable with the families in our group, you may want to consider and discuss this together.
REGISTRATION, PLAYER FEES, & DEADLINES
To play CHANT sports for the 2010-2011 season each family has to complete and turn in a CHANT Family Membership Registration Form and pay the $30.00 annual family membership fee by July 5th.
Every player must have a Release of Liability Waiver Form and a Volleyball Registration Form filled out by their parent and turned into a CHANT Board Member or CHANT Coach.
Finally, prior to the first game and preferably before practice begins, each player should have a complete sport’s physical performed and a Sports Physical Form filled out and completed by either a Physician, Physician’s Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, or Dr. of Chiropractic. Once this is done turn the form into a CHANT Board Member or Coach. All of the forms mentioned can be obtained from the Website Forms page. Print them off, complete them, and turn them in at practice.
