Coaches and teams are required to be at their respective court no later than 1 hour before their scheduled first match of the day. If you are assigned a reffing assignment first, you must be at your court no later than 30 minutes before the scheduled match. If your team has a bye first with no assignment you are still required to be there 1 hour before your scheduled match. This will allow ample time for issues known and unknown that may arrive as well as allow the team to be ready mentally and physically to compete. When your team is assigned to ref players must know their assigned roles for both the first, second and possible third set before the match starts. All players on the team must remain court side while your team is the work team. Be attentive and focused on your responsibility as we expect the same from others when we are competing. All tournaments require a coach to be at the worktable though some allow you to be court side. If possible both coaches should try to help work to allow more girls to warm-up. When your team is off the team should find another IVC volleyball team to cheer on unless they are eating. The team must stay together except for the following exceptions: You have a sibling playing on a different court and your coach approves it. 2) You are spending time with extended family in town to watch you play and your coach approves it. The entire team should be back at their court no later than 15 points into the second set. Once the match is over all players should be ready to warm-up immediately after the court is open to do so. At NO point are you allowed to leave the tournament facility during competition. Teams should also remain together through the tournament day. You should never be alone except for bathroom breaks. Phone policy during tournaments. Players are allowed to have their phones the first 20 minutes of break between matches when they have no assignment. It should ideally be used to promote team bonding such as listening to music or playing a game together. If you are the work team all players will not use their phones regardless of if they are working that set or not. Players are required to bring ALL their gear to every tournament day regardless of the color teams choose beforehand. Players are required to wear something over their spandex when they are going to and leaving a tournament. The buddy system is in place at all times, if you go anywhere, you must have a buddy! If you're going to the bathroom in the middle of a game, a parent will be your buddy.
Playing time is always a sensitive issue in team sports. The purpose of IVC Volleyball Club's playing time policy is to document and communicate the club-wide guidelines in advance to ensure that those who commit to the Club understand what factors will be used to determine playing time over the course of the season.
Our Club has also established a process whereby a player/parent can raise concerns, if they believe the coach is not implementing the policy consistently on their respective team (set forth in the player/parent contract). Whereas "league"-level sports programs advocate “equal playing time”, our Club does not advocate equal playing time, rather “earned playing time." However, the Club does believe that all players should receive equal training opportunities at practice.
In volleyball, there are four (4) types of games – scrimmages, pool-play, playoffs/medal-brackets, and BIDS/qualifiers. Playing time during all portions of any match is always at the discretion of the coach. The factors below will be used to determine playing time:
1. Ability to execute during competition
2. Ability to perform specific skills needed or play a specific position during competition
3. Performance in practice (including skills, attitude and dedication)
4. Attendance/level of commitment to the team
5. Overall contribution, in whatever capacity, to the success of the team
Athletic propensity dictates what position a person plays, her performance in practice dictates how and when she will be used in tournaments. Another factor that may influence court time is how she adds to or distracts from the team's performance as compared to a teammate who plays the same position. During a tournament (i.e. game-day), coaches are constantly adjusting and evaluating line-ups, which means that some players will receive more court time than others. Players are expected to understand and accept their role as defined by the coach and concede that the collective performance of the collective team has priority over the individual player. Under no circumstances is it permissible for a parent or player to approach a coach during competition or at a tournament site to discuss playing time. Parents and players are required to wait 24 hours after the last tournament day before initiating any type of communication with a coach regarding playing time issues. If a player is concerned or unclear about her role on the team, she should initiate a meeting with her coach to discuss the matter either before or after practice. Coaches will meet with players during the season to discuss each player's role on the team and to set individual goals.
Infinity Volleyball Club takes pride in being the only club in the area with our own facility. As our club grows that does mean we cannot always promise that each team will get a spot to practice at the facility. We do rent church and school gyms to accommodate some teams and/or coach's preferences for practice times/days. Having our own facility does guarantee that we have year-round access to a court with more convenient times AND we are able to hold summer camps, clinics, and leagues that better fit our customers' busy lifestyles.
NEW FACILITY OPENING IN WHITEHOUSE IN ADDITION TO OUR BULLARD LOCATION!!!!! PLANS TO BE READY BY November 1st.

See the link below to get a good understanding of how we will be implementing a monthly member fee to all athletes that play for IVC. We have really worked hard to try to keep your team dues down while taking into consideration the raising prices of today’s economy. This new monthly plan will help us in many ways be able to provide you with our best services plus give your athlete access to many things that IVC offers before we open it to the public. If you have any questions, please contact ivccoachmindy@gmail.com. https://www.canva.com/design/DAE8ADc5J68/J6cMBSF3q6VYzAwMN6c96A/view?utm_content=DAE8ADc5J68&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink
At IVC we are proud to have enough athletes to be able to provide two (sometimes 3) options in each age group. Much like an A team and B team at the school level. We do not make teams that we feel are not competitive (meaning we do not just take everyone that pays). Our biggest age groups are the 13-14U because at that age/grade level the athletes like to dabble in many activities to see where their passion lies. We feel like these athletes deserve a place to learn and grow their skills and we are excited that we are able to provide the community this opportunity. FOR FUTURE RECRUITING PURPOSES we have decided to add the words National, Regional, Club, Local.
Once tryouts are over there will be offer letters sent to your email stating what position IVC is offering your athlete. Once you accept the contract terms your athlete will be a member of IVC. This will officially last until the NTR/USAV Bid Championship date. Meaning, they will not be able to start playing with one club and then go to a different club mid-season. They would be ineligible unless released by the club director. You can read further into this situation on the USAV/NTR Volleyball website.
Each team 13U and up will receive around 3-4 hours of practice per week. We work hard to provide a practice plan and environment that suits the team. However, there are only so many days in the week and the coaches also have regular everyday jobs that may not allow them to coach practices on certain days. We will be trying to incorporate more scrimmage time into our practice plans. Each team will not be guaranteed 4 entire hours of a private team practice. Please understand that as the season progresses teams will be in and out of the gym due to various conflicts meaning more private practice time will become available. We will be matching your team up with a like level team(s) to provide ample scrimmage opportunities and this will also give your athlete a chance to hear feedback from multiple coaches besides their own.
At IVC we value our Coaches!!! All of them have regular everyday jobs and coaching is a passion that they do on the side. They are compensated for their time and travel expenses.
