Fall 2009 Info
LEAGUE - REGULAR SEASON - September 21st thru December 2nd
As you may have heard, Seattle Volleyball Club has reverted back to the 2 season format for 2009/2010. The Fall 2009 season will run from Sept 21st thru Dec 2nd, and the Winter Season will run from Jan 25th thru March 31st. All divisions are expected to play the same match format, with matches consisting of 2 games played to 21 points. This current plan is to cap the # of teams per division at 8 teams, but this may change based on gym availability. Teams will be accepted on a 1st PAID basis. If a division has 8 paid teams, any additional teams will be put on a waiting list.
END OF SEASON LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The end of Season League Championships will take place either a weeknight the week of December 1st & 2nd 7th or Saturday December 5th.
NEW PLAYER SKILL CLINICS and OPEN GYMS
SVC will hold new player Skill Clinics and Open Gyms on the below dates. The Skill Clinics provide basic instruction on the core Volleyball Skills, and allows new and existing players an avenue for finding a league team to join. The Open Gyms will allow you to apply what you have learned during the Skill Clinics in real game situations. Team captains will be on hand to assist in drills, while also looking out for players to add to their rosters. There will be opportunities for new captains to form teams in all divisions. So if you are interested in organizing a team come ready to complete your roster. Open Gyms are open to all 4 divisions as we have 4 courts at the Rainier CC. The cost for pre-season open gyms are $3, payable to the SVC representative on-site. There is NO cost for Skill Clinics.
