Practice opportunities are guaranteed! At least a 90% of attendance to practice is mandatory to be considered for play time in tournaments.

Teams will be formed based on the commitment of players and parents. These teams may compete in local and out of state tournaments. Players are required to make SOV, and their team a priority. All teams will practice together at least two times a week for a total of 4 hours. At SOV, we firmly believe that practices are the prime opportunity for learning and improvement. It's during these sessions that players can earn playing time in tournaments through hard work and focus. While we acknowledge that some institutions and programs may offer equal or guaranteed playing time, it's important to note that we do not operate on such principles at SOV. At SoV, we emphasize the significance of incorporating playtime during tournaments to offer valuable experience to our players. However, playtime is contingent upon performance. Players demonstrating superior performance will receive more opportunities to play. Furthermore, it's important for parents and players to understand that not everyone will play in every set or match. Roster rotations can be determined on a set-by-set, match-by-match, or day-by-day basis, at the discretion of the coach. Do not approach the coaches with play time, tactical, or any other complaints during a match or a tournament day. Please follow the CONFLICT RESOLUTION / GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES available on this document and our website, Club volleyball must take precedence over other sports, family events, and extracurricular activities. If you miss a practice, you must inform your coach a minimum of seven (7) days in advance so that the coach can plan practice appropriately. Players who miss more than five practices will be evaluated by the coach and club director to determine if that athlete should remain with the team and may be subject to suspension or expulsion.

PRACTICE POLICIES FOR ALL PLAYERS SoV supports the idea that participation in any sport is good for the physical, mental and social development of young people. Thus, we will not ask our players to give up another sport in order to play volleyball. We feel very strongly that it should be up to players and their parents to choose the sports and activities in which an individual should be involved and we will not interfere with those choices. We kindly request parents to engage in discussions with athletes to ensure that their sports schedules do not overlap, thereby enabling players to fully honor all of their commitments. It's essential to coordinate and prioritize activities in a manner that allows athletes to dedicate themselves entirely to each endeavor they undertake. This proactive approach not only fosters responsibility but also enhances the overall experience for the athletes, promoting their growth and development both on and off the court. We require our players make a commitment to their teams and if they do not feel that they can balance all activities and keep their commitment, they should have a discussion with their coach regarding their ability to commit. If this situations take place after the signing of the contract, and the player decide to leave the team will not receive a refund of dues and will be responsible for immediately paying the dues balance remaining for the season. The policies below apply to all SOV teams. Team coaches may have additional policies for their individual teams in addition to those listed below.
