WHEN PLAY BEGINS
-
-
We will travel to the designated venue together in team vans.
Each team will need a parent to check pool results, playing times and locations for the next of play.
Remember “Rest – Rest – Rest” needs to be emphasized. When the girls are tired they must shut
down. We will be playing plenty of volleyball – let’s make sure player energy and intense is at its
height come game time!!!
Be prepared for late playing times followed by early am start
TOURNAMENT PLAY ON FINAL DAY
-
If our last obligation is to ref, all team members must stay until the end.
PARENTAL SUPPORT SYSTEM
I know New WAVE has great parent support, but just a reminder to find only positive thoughts in your
car for the ride home. I firmly believe that years from now the girls will forget who we played and what
the score was BUT the AAU ORLANDO 2017 trip can be a great memory for the girls if we allow it to
happen.
