Ref/SK reporting form, age waiver confirmati​on, other info

CDs-
- The verification form for when you had your club ref/scorekeeper training clinic is online here: http://badgervolleyball.org/risk-verification-form.php (and also on the handbooks and forms page under club director forms)
*** THIS IS MANDATORY for both the training and the reporting. Failure to do either will result in sanctions. This training and reporting must be completed prior to your first competition so that your team knows its duties. Information can be found in the junior club director handbook.
- Anyone who has submitted an age waiver without problems (you've been contacted if there are problems) prior to yesterday, your player has been placed on the roster. The confirmed form will be sent to you via email, there's just a large stack of them.
- A reminder that your team fees need to be paid prior to competition. The form can be found on the handbooks and forms page. Information is in the Junior Club Director handbook.
- The region office will be closed after end of business today until Jan. 2. We will have access to email during this time.
Thanks for all you do and Happy Holidays to you and your family ... volleyball and otherwise!

Some Info / Reminders

CDs-
A couple of quick things:
- A big thank you to Terry Paulson and the folks at AES, along with the tournament directors, for their work on getting the online tournament registration up and running for this year. We've heard good feedback from many club directors on this process already.
- PLEASE take some time to go through the Junior Club Director handbook. Even if you're experienced in running a club, it's a good refresher. Many many questions we get are answered by the handbook. You're responsible to know the content of this handbook - may even learn something: http://badgervolleyball.org/handbooks_16_1062211322.pdf
- A reminder that while we love you all and want to help you in as many ways as we can, we can't do everything ASAP as many of you ask us to do. We know you're busy and ask you to realize that we are as well, and will get your emails/requests/information handled as quickly as we can. Things that aren't time sensitive will likely get pushed a bit. Thank you for your consideration in this. At last count we have 129 clubs registered with Badger Region this year, up about 15-20 from last year, so we welcome and thank you!

POLICY: Ref/SK clinic, age waivers

Club Directors-

Please see below for one NEW policy (ref/sk clinic attendance), and a clarification to a policy that has been asked many times (age waivers), I want to make sure we're all on the same page with this.
 

1) Club-Hosted Referee/Scorer Training Clinic Attendance To Teach Your Club


For the 2012-13 season, the in-person attendance requirement for a returning (NON-FIRST YEAR) club representative at a referee/scorekeeper clinic is optional. Club programs are still REQUIRED to teach players and coaches’ proper procedures and report the completion of the training to the Badger Region office (online reporting form will be sent out at a later date). Club programs may continue to request that a certified clinician provide a ref/score clinic for their club members (please contact Jim Momsen at BadgerRefChair@yahoo.com for this option).

 

The policy will be revisited for the 2013-14 season as rules are updated and new multimedia training options become available. We strongly encourage the use of http://www.volleyballreftraining.com/training_materials_junior.php for teaching materials, including videos and information on junior referee and scorekeeper training.

 
Policy Rationale:
It was requested by several club directors that this ref/score training option be considered. It would eliminate requiring an experienced club representative to attend a clinic when rules haven’t changed. Further, it is an essential requirement that all clubs be held responsible for training their players and coaches to properly apply the procedures and techniques for refereeing and scorekeeping.

 
Note: For the 2012-2013 season, USAV is allowing the libero to serve in all of its sanctioned events, including Qualifiers/Jr. Nat. Championships. Tracking the libero’s service position and which points were scored when the libero served is done the same way as last season as the Badger Region approved the libero service rule adaptation the season prior.

 
The USAV text of the rule and associated scorekeeping techniques are posted on the Badger Region website on the forms page under Ref/SK: http://badgervolleyball.org/forms.php

 
2) Age Waiver Policy for Junior Players

This policy has been discussed at the last two junior club director meetings, yet we are still getting questions on the age waiver policy.

Age Waivers


A waiver may be granted by Badger Region for a player to play in a lower division in regional tournaments only IF the age waiver would allow a player to be on a team with their peers of the same grade. No consideration will be given to ability or stature of the player.

 
REMOVED FROM THE OLD RULE: AND the Club requesting the waiver does not have a team at the age level of the player requesting the waiver.

 
MEANING: A player may play down with their grade even if you have a level they're supposed to play at based on their birthday.

 
The procedure to request an age waiver is as follows:

- The Club Director must submit an Age Waiver Request Form to the region office (found on the forms page of the website). This form must be completely filled out, clearly stating the reason for the request. A copy of the player’s birth certificate, proof of grade in school and the team’s (projected) tournament schedule must be attached.

If granted, a copy of the approved Age Waiver Request Form will be returned to the Club Director. A copy should be given to the player’s coach and available if requested by a Tournament Director. Age waivers are granted for in-region, non-qualifying tournaments ONLY. If playing out of region, it is the responsibility of the club to check to see if this player will be allowed to play, and up to the discretion of the tournament director to accept or deny.

 
*Please do not have the parents send these in, and PLEASE fill out all of the fields. If you leave out uniform name or team name, it will be returned to you to complete before processing, delaying the approval.
 
Thank you for your prompt attention to reading this email.
 
Please direct all questions to the appropriate contacts or the Badger Region office at 414-443-1011.
 

Jennifer Armson-Dyer, Director of Operations, jarmsondyer@badgervolleyball.org

Colleen Houk, Operations Manager, colleen@badgervolleyball.org

Jim Momsen, Referee Chair, BadgerRefChair@yahoo.com

Nancy Paulson, Scorekeeper Chair, paulsonn@wi.rr.com

Policy Communication, THS Trip & Information

CDs-
Two things:
1) I have set up a Policy Communication email - policy@badgervolleyball.org - please allow this email address through your email filters if you have them. This is the official address that any new or changed policy communications will come through. IT IS IMPORANT THAT YOU READ THESE EMAILS. Yes, all of our emails are important, but these are very important and should be read as promptly as possible. They will also be posted on the club director blog: http://badgerregionvolleyballclubdirectors.blogspot.com/. The first will be coming this afternoon or tomorrow, pending final review.
 
 
2) Myself and BJ LeRoy (NE rep) will be visiting the operations of THS next Tuesday and Wednesday. If you have questions/comments/concerns/customer service issues involving THS, please get BJ or myself this information by Monday. This is not a philosophical discussion of the Stay and Play policy - this deals with the vendor who sets up and manages that policy (Tournament Housing Services) and they job they do providing this service.
 
 
Thanks
Jen

Membership clarification

CDs-
Even though I talked about this at the meeting, we are still getting a lot of questions about this. Memberships from 2011-12 are good until Oct. 31, 2012. That means that anyone who has a membership from last season is still covered by that membership until Oct. 31 - this includes tune-ups and tryouts for the 14 and unders.
14 and unders can get the $10 tryout membership if they so choose, and then upgrade for $37 to the full membership. Or they can wait until Nov. 1 and purchase a full membership for $47. Either way, the cost is the same - they're not paying more if they override their current membership and then upgrade - it's all still $47.
This is the same as it's been in past years for tuneups - nothing has changed. But there are some clubs telling people they need 2013 memberships for October tryouts, and this isn't the case if a membership is already in place.

- Don't forget about the club director blog, which is where you can find information when you don't read all the way through my emails, or trash them and then need something later on. Some of you may not have even gotten this far! http://badgerregionvolleyballclubdirectors.blogspot.com/

I've put up language for the new policies for allowable 14 and under tryout dates and commitment dates for all players. It can be found online on the homepage and here: http://badgervolleyball.org/2012-13-new-policies.php

I've also attached it in a word document, and also attached a calendar of the dates for the visual people like myself. Feel free to use any and all of it on your own websites (and for those who don't have a website, go to http://www.eteamz.com/ - it's free to create and maintain) or in your correspondance.

IMPORTANT - Concussion information and permission sheets

CDs-

Please read through this IMPORTANT email regarding a new law that was just passed in Wisconsin regarding concussion information and permission sheets. This is especially important for those of you who are still running or participating in events as this law is now in effect.

I will be working on how to easily get this information out to the necessary parties - most likely linked through Webpoint like the medical forms. ALSO - TDs please be aware that this law also applies to out-of-state participants and we will be looking to include that language in the TD handbook as we delve into the specifics of it.

Jen

******

The Wisconsin DPI has published the Sideline to Safety (concussion law) guidelines for youth athletic organizations.  With the publication of the guidelines, the law is now implemented.

Wisconsin Concussion Law Act 172 - Statute 118.293
Summary
The law requires all youth athletic organizations to educate coaches, athletes and parents on the risks of concussions and head injuries and prohibits participation in a youth activity until the athlete and parent or guardian has returned a signed agreement sheet indicating they have reviewed the concussion and head injury informational materials. The law requires immediate removal of an individual from a youth athletic activity if symptoms indicate a possible concussion has been sustained. A person who has been removed from a youth athletic activity because of a determined or suspected concussion or head injury, may not participate again until he or she is evaluated by a health care provider and receives written clearance from the health care provider to return to the activity.

“At the beginning of a season for a youth athletic activity, the person operating the youth athletic activity shall distribute a concussion and head injury information sheet to each person who will be coaching that youth athletic activity and to each person who wishes to participate in that youth athletic activity. No person may participate in a youth athletic activity unless the person returns the information sheet signed by the person and, if he or she is under the age of 19, by his or her parent or guardian.”

Full Text <http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/acts/172>
Further Information
Guidelines for Concussion and Head Injuries <http://dpi.wi.gov/sped/tbi-conc-guidelines.html>
Concussion Resources <http://dpi.wi.gov/sped/tbi-conc-resources.html>
In addition, member schools may find the WIAA concussion information on the WIAA web site at:  http://www.wiaawi.org/index.php?id=430

We have provided a page of questions and answers as well on the WIAA web site.  As we receive questions, we will continue to update that page.  The law does not require or even reference school districts (or youth athletic activity organizers) need to complete baseline (ImPACT) testing. ImPACT is a tool which your physician or trainers may recommend, but it is not a requirement by the law.

While coaches education is a best practice and suggested additional training for coaches should be considered by the school administration. It is highly recommended and it is free at the CDC web site or at https://www.NFHSLearn.com.

We would urge you to provide the information to your community’s youth athletic organizations.  Please inform them that our information is available for FREE and they may use it to conform to the Sideline to Safety law.

Coaches Clinics - June 9-10

Club Directors-

I'm happy to announce that we'll be hosting two low-cost coaches clinics on June 9-10! June 9 will be at the WVA Facility in Appleton and June 10 will be in the Dells - these will be separate clinics with the same format. The details are still being worked out, but the format will be as follows:

Morning (9am-noon): Focusing on the younger ages (12s-14s)
Afternoon (1-4pm): Focusing on the older ages (15s-18s)

Registration will be done via Webpoint. The cost will be $25 for one of the sessions or $40 for the entire day.

The lead clinician will be Salima (Davidson) Rockwell, former USA National team setter, Penn State assistant and current assistant at Texas who also has coached young teams for Austin Juniors and runs the Texas camps. She is working on securing an additional clinician who has experience coaching at both the older and younger age levels as well.

Like I said, the details are still being worked out and once confirmed I will send out more information, I just wanted to get this preliminary email out so that you can alert your coaches and get it on calendars since I know they fill up fast! Please pass it along!!

For those interested in the Dells clinic, we will also have a hotel deal/package in place so please stay tuned for that information as well!

Have a great week!

Ref/SK compliance​, HP, Libero Use

CDs-

Three quick things-

1) A list of clubs in compliance with the ref/sk training and reporting requirement can be found under Junior Club Director Forms: http://badgervolleyball.org/forms.php

2) High Performance registration will open this afternoon. If you have interested players and/or coaches willing to help at tryouts/camps/tournament, please have them check the website. http://badgervolleyball.org/junior-high-performance.php

3) I have put together a SurveyMonkey regarding use of the dual liberos and liberos in general. Please take a second. The USAV junior rules committee will be meeting in March and I'd like Badger Region to provide them input. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BRVALiberoUse - I will also be sending this out to head coaches through Webpoint.

Thanks

BRC Fundraiser​, anyone can participat​e

CDs-

As some of you know, Caitlin Scannell, a Riptide 17s player who had also been with Club Breakout, was killed in a car accident last weekend with two other of her classmates; six survived the accident.

This year for the Badger Region Championships, instead of doing Dig Pink for breast cancer, we're going to do Dig for Caitlin to raise money for the memorial scholarship fund that her brother has set up with the money he was saving to help put her through college. Since Caitlin was a libero and her favorite color was pink, it's only fitting. I know this story has touched many of you and I hope that you will help in this endeavor. We're also collecting words of encouragement for the family and her teammates to let them know that they're not in this alone.

Here's a blog post that covers a lot of what's going on. http://brvolleyblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/caitlin-scannell-memorial-scholarship.html

More details will be forthcoming about Dig for Caitlin, but I ask that everyone on both Sunday's wear pink and between now and then raise funds. The pledge form is in the blog. It's my hope that on Sunday, April 1, we can introduce the Riptide 17 White team that Caitlin was a member of, and let everyone know how much has been raised for Riptide to donate.

New team codes, ref/sk reminder

CDs-

- Some new teams have been added to the team code list, updated here: http://badgervolleyball.org/junior-team-codes.php. A reminder that everyone should show up to tournaments with a roster that has a pretty green check mark on it for team fee paid, not an ugly red x. The red X means you won't be playing.

- A reminder to report when you taught your team the ref/scorekeeping procedures: http://badgervolleyball.org/forms-referee-scorekeeper-certification-verification.php. So far I have 57 clubs reporting. We have WAY more than that. I'm hoping some of you just haven't filled out the form yet. Despite the feedback I'm getting, this is NOT a new requirement, you've always either had to attend a ref/sk clinic and then go back and teach your club, or bring in a clinician. Feb.6 we will be auditing and publicizing this list - that's five weekends into the season and everyone should have it done by this point. We've already heard reports of blank scoresheets, coaching R1s not knowing the rules, etc. Please continue to review with your clubs and use http://www.volleyballreftraining.com/ as a resource. Again, it also has a video of how the pre-match handshake should look - please review this with your team.. http://www.volleyballreftraining.com/indoor_modules.php

-We've gotten some good photos on Facebook and some good things on the blog. Even if you just want to give a shout-out to good refereeing like Dante from Ozaukee Wave did last weekend - this blog is by Badger Region about Badger Region and it's gotten more than 400 page views since it was started a week ago. Help publicize your clubs!! http://brvolleyblog.blogspot.com/

- There's a final Impact date next Tuesday (the 17th) in Madison.

- If you're applying for the boy's grant funding, please do so, so we can get those payments out. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click here: http://badgerregionvolleyballclubdirectors.blogspot.com/2011/11/free-money-for-boys.html They're first come, first served.

Ok, I'm done. Travel safe this weekend and I'll see some of you in the Dells for Badger Power League!

USAV Club Director Resource pages

Just a quick forward from USAV about some updates they've done to the Club Directors Resource Grassroots page and some of the new things available:
http://usavolleyball.org/grassroots/club-directors-sharing

If you do anything as a club director that you may find would benefit anyone (from how you run tryouts, extra training sessions for your coaches, team bonding experiences, etc.), please either let me know or contact John Kessel at USAV.

**

#2
The Grassroots web pages have been updated recently.  On the Club Directors pages we have added a budget and cash flow example for any of your clubs who may have questions on how to get started or how to customize what they are now using. 
The second update to that same Club Directors page, is the Business Resource guidelines.  This is a combination of Non Profit and Small Business connections that we thought you might find useful for your region and to share with your clubs.

Remember we are always here to help and to answer any questions that you might have.  It takes us all to work together to grow our sport.  Tell us how we can help you!

Team Codes / Team Fees / VolleyBlog

Hi all-

First off - good luck and have fun to those competing this weekend!

The team codes for eligible teams (i.e. those who have paid their team fees) can be found here: http://badgervolleyball.org/junior-team-codes.php This will be updated as a few remaining clubs pay their team fees. The date will be indicated as to when it was last updated, so please check your copy against the date here when using this.

The team fee issue I emailed you about at the beginning of the week was resolved mid-week. All is well and no one should show up at a tournament with a big red X on their rosters. You will not be allowed to play.

I would like to start something for the website called the Badger Region VolleyBlog, to show life in and around Badger Region. I would like to hear from junior, collegiate and adult players, coaches, parents, siblings, officials, tournament directors - anyone really - about their experiences. If someone wants to do a weekly entry about their practices and then the weekend tournament and travel - fantastic. If someone wants to write up an entry about a cool team bonding experience - perfect. If an official wants to comment on a great job officiating by a team - wonderful. There really is no structure to this, just for people who like to write or like to see what is going on around the Region. Please pass this around to your coaches and teams - or it's a perfect "team parent" activity! They can email me with anything they'd like to submit - photos too. If they don't want to post their name, we can also work around that - as long as I know it's a legit person!

And as you or your coaches/players post photos on Facebook, please tag Badger Region Volleyball (the fan page) so we can get more up there!
