Advance Cost & Fees

ALL TRYOUTS: A Tryout Fee of $10:00 is to cover gym rental and insurance costs to

determine player selections for the Advance Volleyball JO (Club) Teams.

Note: If Advance has multiple Tryout dates and a player is NOT asked to participate on a team

during the first tryout date, that player is welcome to attend any other Advance tryout. Also; if

our directors / coaches should ask a player to return to our next tryout to re-evaluate

them, again no additional cost is assessed.

GENERAL PLAYER SELECTION:

If you have been selected to play for the Advance Program. All Advance Rules must be

agreed upon by Parents & Athletes before official commitment. You will then be given a contract

that you have up to and no more then 10 days to make an official commitment. An official

commitment my be made by e-mail, or via phone call or signed Player's Contract handed or

mailed to our Advance Management.

Options if you are selected for a Elite Team:

During tryouts, If you have been selected to play for one of our "Elite TEAMS": then you

have a couple of options. NO. 1 Option) You can accept the Elite Team offer that will be a

longer and more committed season (time & cost), and you can read about the differences on

the "Home Jo Page". NO. 2 Option) After evaluating the commitment & cost of a Elite Team

and it is to much of a commitment, the player may opt for the Club or Regional team of the same

age group. NO. 3 Option) The parents may still want the Regional or Club Commitment instead

of the Elite team commitment. If this is the case they will have the option to check with the

directors to see if their athlete is strong enough to play up an Age Group

(note; this option is only decided by parents and directors).

Final Option) If the parents feel that their player is only a Elite player and they will not

accept one of the 1st three options or if not enough players commit to a Elite team to have

one in their age group. They can consult with the directors and be released to go try and play

for another club. (again this has to be passed by director and parents).

Recommendations for tryouts:

We recommend all players tryout for their designated age group or grade accordingly. The

staff and your performance during tryouts will determined if you should be moved up to the next

age level or qualify for a Elite team.

Again, since we cannot predict the quantity or quality of players trying out, we cannot confirm

how many and what level of teams we will have. However; if we get enough quality athletes for

2 teams in that division, we will have 2 teams in that division. Example: If we can support a

Elite team and two Regional teams for an age group. We will do that, as well!! All is pending

on volume and quality of athlete that tryout.

Coaches for each Age Group:

Unfortunately we well not be able to assign coaches until we pick teams and determine what

schools the athletes are from. We have to hold to the Ohio High School Athletic Association

rules and to do that, the teams are picked first and then the coaches placed.. Sorry about that!!

$$ FEES are DUE:

There are two policy/procedural changes for the 2009 Advance JO Volleyball season. As always we feel it is important to let everyone know up front so they can make an informed decision when considering Advance VBC for their JO experience.

No. 1 All JO fees MUST be PAID IN FULL on or before the first practice for that team. No practice gear, uniforms, bags or other equipment will be issued to any player that owes a balance of their fees. The player will be ineligible to participate in PRACTICES as well as tournaments until the fee is paid in full.

No.2 All issued equipment to be returned to Advance VBC i.e. tournament jerseys, sweats/warm-ups will be collected by team coaches at the OVR Regional tournament upon the completion of play. You MUST plan on bringing a change of clothes to facilitate this action and no other option is available. Any team member NOT able to participate in this tournament is required to turn in their equipment at the last attended practice or tournament. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Please keep in mind that ANY financial gain received from club volleyball is a direct violation of the OHSAA rules regarding eligibility for High School participation. The costs of our uniforms, sweats and unpaid fees EXCEEDS the financial limit placed on student athletes according to OHSAA. Students that receive gifts or gain in excess of the limit may become ineligible to participate in the next years High School season. If the violation is caught AFTER participation in their High School the entire program may be penalized.
