Volleyball Meetings for Players and Parents

August 4, 2009

The following letter was sent to Meeteetse Volleyball Players and Parents on August 3, 2009.

Dear Meeteetse Volleyball Players and Parents,

Volleyball season will begin at Meeteetse High School on August 17, 2009. This is also the first day of school. The purpose of this letter is to:
1) Invite players and parents to attend information and expectation meetings that will take place on Thursday, August 13, 2009 and,
2) To inform you about items each student athlete should have available on the first day of practice.

The Player meeting will take place at 5:30 pm on August 13, followed by the Parent meeting at 6:15 pm. Both meetings will address expectations the coaching staff and school have regarding participation in volleyball. Parent topics will include coaching expectations, the role of parents, and the parent/coach communication process. The player meeting will focus on practice, game and eligibility rules, playing time, lettering requirements, goals and parental involvement.

Volleyball does not require a great deal of equipment. Student/Athletes will be expected to arrive to practice on August 17 with appropriate workout clothing and a good pair of court shoes. Volleyball specific shoes are highly recommended but not mandatory. Shoes that may substitute are a well vented, non-marking shoe such as running shoes or other court sport shoes. Players must have a physical exam on file before they will be allowed to attend any practice sessions. With a small number of athletes, we need everyone to have their physicals before the first practice and be able to attend the nine practice sessions before our first tournament on August 28th.

Assistant Coach Ronee Hogg and I are excited about the upcoming season and look forward to the development of a competitive (winning) program and helping our student/athletes become the best they can be. We both have very high expectations for this season and hope you share that enthusiasm and commitment to Lady Horn Volleyball. Please feel free to call me at
307-431-1510 or at school (868-2501) any time you have a question about Lady Longhorn Volleyball.

Sincerely,

Shaun Nicklas
Head Volleyball Coach
