6. Commitment to Team
The goal of the Vortex Volleyball program is to provide a challenging and fun experience while developing student-athletes, everyone will have an opportunity to play at each Tournament. However, the amount of playing time cannot be assured or predicted—our coaches are skilled at balancing the needs of our athletes while maintaining their responsibilities to the team’s ability to compete.
In order for our teams to be successful, all participants need to be present at each Tournamen and 90% of the practices. If your son is going to miss a practice, a parent should notify the club and player should notify their coach prior to the missed practice (both should be able to RSVP practice or events through Sport Ngin APP). We understand that absences will occur (excused absences include illness and family emergencies), but a commitment to their teammates and our program should be a priority for each player! Unexcused absences from practice could have consequences that might include limiting playing time (its at the discretion of the coach).
