Season Opener Tournament

Coaches, players, and specators can enter the tournament sites at 7:30am.

There will be a short coach meeting at 7:40 am with warmups starting at 7:50 am, at the latest.

The tournament will need to begin at 8:00 am sharp as many of our venues have scheduled events in the gyms after our tournament.

Please help to keep the tournament running on time by being prepared to warm up immediately following the conclusion of the previous match.

Please support our healthy concessions at each site.

We ask that you do not bring in coolers or carry-ins.

Only water can be brought into the gyms, no food or drinks.

Please make sure that your players are prepared to fulfill their scheduled reffing duties including line judging, R2 responsibilities, the libero tracking sheet, the scorekeeping sheet, and keeping score with either flip scores or the electronic scoreboards, depending on what is available at your site.

We have applied for refs from the Badger Region Volleyball Association for our Season Opener Tournament for at least the gold playoffs; however, they are not having much success in getting refs to come up to our area.

We are attempting to get a few local refs for some of the sites for the gold-level playoffs; however, we may not find enough for
all of the sites.

Please be prepared to officiate the R1 position for playoffs if we are unsuccessful in finding refs.

There will be a site director assigned to each of your venues.

If a problem arises that your tournament site director cannot resolve, then please either have that site director call me or you can call me directly at 715-340-3784.

If you have any questions about the tournament in the coming week before the tournament, then please send your questions by email message to sjjohnson@charter.net.

We wish you the best in your first tournament and hope that you and your players enjoy the experience.

Please be patient with other teams' players and coaches that are reffing your matches.

This is the first tournament for most, if not all, of the teams so please keep things low-key and focus on your team's development and enjoyment of the sport.
