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!

May Junior Club Director Meeting

Good Afternoon Junior Club Directors~
Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend. There are probably some of you that are still enjoying a vacation week......we are extremely jealous.

As you all know, we will be having our Spring Junior Club Directors Meeting on Saturday, May 5th in Fond du lac. You are required to either be present yourself or get a representative from your club to this meeting. The meeting will begin at 10:00 am and finish up at 2:00 pm. A social for all that would like to stay will be offered afterwards.

Meeting Location Announced:
Converted Sentry building (Sentry sign still visable) at 311 Winnebago Dr. Fond du lac, WI. The social afterwards will be at the Eagles Club (1.5 blocks away).

We are currently accepting agenda ideas. You can reply directly back to Colleen with those at colleen@badgervolleyball.org.

We would also like you to register online for the meeting via Webpoint. It really is amazing how many ways that Webpoint can be used.

2.  Login
3. Click on Event Registration (tab on left)
4. Click on Region Events  (Junior Club Director Meeting will be the only event listed)
5. Register tab will be on the upper right
6. Fill in requested info and please include your Club Name in the Address 2 line. As of right now this the only way that we can think of to get a handle on who will be each clubs representative. You can send two reps from your club but please have both register so that we have a correct count.

There is no charge for this meeting so the fee will show as $0.00.

We would appreciate you taking the time to get registered ASAP.
