Tournament Guidelines:* All JV and Varsity squads should try to warm up as quickly as possible on their scheduled court. Each match will begin when both teams are properly warmed up. Balls will be provided.
* Games to 25 (no cap, win by two points) will be played. Play as many games as time allows.
* Current IGHSAU rules will be used.
* The score should be kept by the participating teams.
* All matches should start close to scheduled time (as soon as both squads are warmed up) and end promptly every 45 minutes (see time schedules above).
*Officiating will be as in past years; athletes call their own unless a coach wishes to blow a whistle.
* Play the people that you need to play for your own situation. All substitutions are legal. You may rearrange players on the court at anytime. “Brief” time outs or discussions at any time are allowed.
* No champion will be crowned or acknowledged, no awards will be given. The purpose is to prepare for the upcoming season.

Dear Volleyball Girls and Parents;
I hope you are all having a fantastic summer. Like all summers, this one too will soon come to a close. That means the 2017 Raider Volleyball season is just around the corner. Here are some reminders for you before the season gets underway. Please encourage your parents to read this letter!
1. The official starting date for volleyball practice is Monday, August 7. Most of our early season practices will take place in the morning. They will begin as four-hour practices from 8:00 am until 12:00 noon and then taper off a little. Once school begins, practices will begin promptly at 3:45 pm and end at around 6:00 pm.
2. Your Physical Form must be signed and turned in by our first practice date. You will not be allowed to participate until you have had your physical. Make sure that you have passed your physical before August 7 !
3. Please do some quality running and flexibility stretching between now and practice time so that you can minimize blisters and general muscle soreness. Weight training would also be beneficial. Try to go to open gym at Lake View on Tuesday and Thursday starting at 9:00 am.
4. If you purchase new shoes, please break them in before practice begins. This year we are getting the Mizuno Women’s Wave Lightning Z3 in Black and red. Uptown Sporting Goods in Carroll will sell then to squad members for approximately $85 + tax. A pair in your size has been ordered for you “IF you signed up for shoes”. If you did not sign up for shoes simply tell them that you want to purchase the East Sac County volleyball team shoe at the team price and try on / purchase the size that best fits you. These shoes should now be in stock.
5. If you will miss a practice, meeting, or match, please let me know as far in advance as possible. Try to schedule appointments around practice and matches.
6. We always need managers and bookkeepers. If you know of someone that is interested, or would be good please let me know.
7. Remember the Raider Volleyball Camp at Lake View scheduled as follows:
Monday, July 31, Skills camp 5 – 9 pm
Tuesday August 1, Skills camp 5 – 9 pm
Wednesday August 2, Team Scrimmage Camp 5 – 9 pm
Thursday August 3, Team Scrimmage Camp 5 – 9 pm
8. I hope that the rest of your summer is enjoyable. Have fun and get yourself
“FIRED UP” and ready to play some volleyball.
Sincerely, Coach David L. Waggie, East Sac County Raider Volleyball Home Phone 712 - 664 – 2680 email dwaggie@eastsac.k12.ia.us
