Dallas
Juniors Volleyball Club was created fifteen years ago by Steve and Lyn
Koch to help young athletes develop the skills necessary to become
stronger volleyball players. Over the years we have grown from a small
local club into a competitive club by maintaining our values and
putting the needs of young athletes first.
We
expect to have a total of 12 teams for the 2009-2010 season. In
September of 2005 we acquired a new home at the Sportsplex. We continue
to be
excited about the opportunities our new facility offers our club,
players, and community.
Philosophy
We
at Dallas Juniors want to develop the athlete's volleyball skills,
teach team concepts and make each team as competitive as possible, yet
keeping it fun. Skill development includes all aspects of their play as
well as their physical condition. Each week we will concentrate on
their individual skills as well as their role on the team. A player
will improve with ball contacts; therefore, we will place a strong
emphasis on ball handling and control. And finally, if it is not fun
then we are wasting our time.
Club Goals
We
focus on improving and developing the volleyball skills of the
athlete through intense training and individualized teaching, having
fun and working as a team. Winning is not our MAIN focus.
Expectations
of the Athlete
Athletes
are expected to attend all practices and tournaments and give the coach
and their team their best effort at all times. Excused absences will be
given for family matters, school matters and religious matters. These
excused absences should be the exception, not the rule. They should be
communicated with the coach ahead of time. Coaches will not tolerate
poor efforts from the athlete or unexcused absences. Frequently missed
practices or poor efforts will result in reduced playing time in
tournaments and possible expulsion from the club.
Rules
There
is NO “equal” play rule. You pay for practice time not for
playing
time. We do not promise equal playing time but do promise playing time
to all who show up to practice and give their best effort.
Teams
There are a
total of 12 teams. 2-12's, 3-13's, 2-14's, 2-15's,
2-16's, and 1-17s. Each team will consist of 10-12
players.
The 12's and 13's will not travel, the regional teams will travel in the state of Texas, and national teams will travel both in Texas and out of state.
