2020-21 Season Update
Hello Bearcats families!
We are sure you have a lot of questions about the upcoming season. While we don’t have all the answers yet, we wanted to let you know that we are actively planning for the 2020-21 season. CEVA postponed tryouts, which are normally in November, to December 5 for 16u/18u and December 12 for 12u/14u. You can find information about CEVA’s tentative schedule and plan for the season at cevaregion.org. With COVID restrictions and school districts being closed, our biggest hurdle will be finding available gym space for practices. We have always done our best to keep our costs reasonable and lower than the other clubs in our area. Our goal is to not have to significantly increase player dues in order to cover the cost of practice space. If you know of a facility we should contact, please let us know. We hope everyone is well and we can’t wait to see you on the volleyball court again soon.

MUST DO: CEVA membership upgrade and USAV training
MEMBERSHIP UPGRADE
http://cevaregion.org/VolleyBlog/Membership-upgrade-and-club-selection
To assign you to a team we must have you paid in full with USAV. That's the $50 membership. If you paid $10 for tryouts, you must log back in and pay the remainder which is $40.
You must also select Bearcats as your team if you have been invited to join a team.
Between now and the first tournament all players must:
1. Take safesport training.
2. Take ref/scorer training.
To access both trainings you must login to the membership page and on the bottom right hand corner go to USAV Academy. Find safesport training for players and ref/scorerer training for players.

12U - The Future of the Club
Welcome! We are so excited you've decided to join club volleyball. You are the future of the sport. You may have 4-6 years of volleyball to play and beyond. It's up to you. For that reason, we want to ensure this is a good experience for you.
You will form bonds and friendships that last years. We are a no drama club.. so we make sure you and your peers treat each other respectfully. If you have any concerns see your coach. We encourage you to have a voice and be an advocate for yourself. You are growing into young women of character and we encourage you to speak your mind and ask hard questions - Like what do I need to do to be a better player? How can I play more? What do I need to work on? We are all learning!!! Ask your coach first, then find the director -Shannon Kelley on the TEAM APP and start a chat!
We look forward to working with you this year.
12U: We need as many parents willing to also take ref/scorer training to man the table at every tournament. This is the only age group requirement. All parents also sign up for a membership and a training.
