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!
