Volleyball is developing into a strong, competitive sport at Crown Athletics, and we hope you will consider joining the Knights for a third great season in 2008!

ELIGIBILITY: The Crown Athletics volleyball program is open to home school girls age 12-18. Students must be 12 years old by September 1 and going into grades 7–12 when school begins in August. There are middle school and high school teams.

The Middle School teams are made up of girls in 6th-8th grades. There is both a 6th-7th grade team and an 8th grade team. Girls going into 7th grade have the ability to play up and be placed on the 8th grade team if their skills and performance meet those standards at tryouts and coaches determine this to be a good fit. Girls must not have reached 15 years of age prior to September 1 of the current school year to be considered eligible.

The High School teams are made up of girls in 9th-12th grades. There is both a JV team and Varsity team. The JV team is for 9th-10th graders. The varsity team is for girls in grades 11-12. Girls going into 10th grade have the ability to play up and be placed on a Varsity team if their skills and performance meet Varsity level standards at tryouts and coaches determine this to be a good fit. Girls must not have reached 19 years of age prior to September 1 of the current school year to be considered eligible.

LOCATION: Home games and practices are held at The King’s Academy, 471 Arnold Mill Road, Woodstock, GA 30188. We may have some alternate practice locations as well.

CLINICS: Homeschool players old and new are welcome to come out for Crown Athletics Spring Volleyball Clinics. The clinics will help players warm up, prepare for tryouts, strengthen skills, and have fun! Clinics are not mandatory for tryouts with the Knights, but strongly encouraged.

HIGH SCHOOL: Girls going into 9th-12th grade will have their clinic the week of April 28-May 2, 2008 at The King’s Academy. For further details, email crownvolleyball@yahoo.com.

MIDDLE SCHOOL: Girls going into 6th-8th grade will have their clinic at The King’s Academy with Coach Danielle Dodd. Middle School clinics will be Mon-Tues, April 28 & 29, and Thurs-Fri, May 1 & 2, 2008 from 4:30-6:30pm at The King’s Academy, 471 Arnold Mill Road, Woodstock, GA 30188. Clinic fee for April session is $50.00. The fee covers court time and training.

Players should wear comfortable t-shirts, shorts (please wear spandex under soffies), kneepads, socks and tennis shoes to clinics. Bring a water bottle. Fees and a release form will need to be submitted the first day of clinic. Please RSVP if possible to Crownvolleyball@yahoo.com so that we might get a general headcount.

OPEN PLAY DATES: A few Open Play Dates have been scheduled for middle and high school girls who are interested in learning more about volleyball, but are not prepared to commit to a clinic. You’ll have a chance to meet some other players, learn about the game, and decide if this sport is right for you. There is fee of $3.00 per play date. Dates are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, April 21-24 from 4:30-6:30pm at The King’s Academy. Please join us!

INFO MEETINGS: Information meetings are scheduled for Monday, April 28 at The King’s Academy, 471 Arnold Mill Road, Woodstock, GA 30188. We will meet in one of the classrooms upstairs in the main gym building. The middle school meeting will take place at 6pm and the high school meeting at 8pm. Program packets with schedules, fees, registration forms, etc. will be handed out and parents can ask questions, meet coaches and committee members, etc.

TRYOUTS: A panel of coaches will assist during tryouts. Selections will be determined based on needed positions for the team and the level of player potential and experience. Our bench will be limited to 9-10 players per team depending on need. Tryout dates are Mon-Tues, May 5-6 at The King’s Academy. Players must attend the age/grade-appropriate tryout times for their team. PLEASE BE ON TIME! MS 4:15-6:15, HS 6:30-8:30. Team member selections will be posted on the Crown Athletics website at www.crownknights.org the following day.

COACHES: We welcome back Coach Danielle Dodd, and we have plans to announce additional coaching staff very soon.

FEES: The Knights Volleyball program fees will be announced at the Information Meetings on April 28. Past year’s fees have been around $300, and we expect this year’s program to remain in that ballpark. The fee covers administrative overhead, secondary insurance, equipment/supplies, gym rental, referee fees, awards, honorariums, game uniforms and more. Camp and tournament fees are priced separately.

FUNDRAISING/SPONSORSHIPS: There will be fundraising opportunities available to offset camp, tournament and other costs. Players are also encouraged to obtain business/corporate sponsorships for Crown Athletics and in return will receive a major percentage of these proceeds toward their fees. Details will be provided to interested families.

CAMPS & TOURNAMENTS: The Knights will participate in an in-house summer camp experience this year. Both camps scheduled for the week of June 23-27. MS will meet from 10am-1pm and HS from 1:30-5:30pm. Camps are considered mandatory for team members and further details will be discussed at our information meetings. Early in August, the Knights host summer tournaments at The King’s Academy. The Knights play in and help host these fundraising events. The Knights Volleyball Committee is investigating the possibility of attending the National Homeschool Volleyball Tournament in Omaha, NE on November 6-8, 2008. Necessary fees will need to be raised through sponsorships and team fundraisers.
