FAQ |
| 1. Where do we practice? |
| Most of our practices are at Nicolet High School and Pius XI High School. At times we also hold practices in the Wauwatosa area at a few different sites. St. Bernard's is one of those sites. |
| 2. When do we practice? |
| One weeknight and one weekend pratice is the typical schedule. Because of potential school sport conflicts, some teams may have both practices on the weekend. Time of day varies depending on when we can reserve the practice facilities. |
| 3. How often do we practice? |
| We practice twice per week. Any team that travels to the Junior National Championships in July may add a third weekly practice in the Spring. |
| 4. How does the club view conflicts with a school sport? |
| Our view is that a player’s school sport should come first, club volleyball should come second. We do not force players to choose between other high school athletics and club volleyball. We urge communication with the coaching staff so that we are aware of any school sport conflicts. |
| 5. What type of season is club volleyball? |
| Club volleyball consists of tournaments on the weekends. Many events are one day only, Saturday or Sunday. Some of the bigger events would cover both Saturday and Sunday. A typical one-day tournament would begin around 8:00am and conclude play late afternoon or early evening. |
| 6. Is there any travel? |
Boys: We anticipate traveling to St. Louis in January and the greater Chicago area 2-3 times in December-February. There will also be tournaments in the SE part of Wisconsin. The St. Louis tournament is a weekend trip. One of the Chicago tournaments is a two-day event that may or may not require an overnight hotel stay. Our elite boys teams will travel in June for a 3-4 day event and then attend Nationals in early July for a 4 day event.
Girls: Our schedule consists of several local one-day tournaments, at least one National Qualifier and 1-2 overnight tournaments. |
| 7. When traveling, do parents have to also attend? |
| No, a parent for each athlete is not required to attend. We do require two adult parent chaperones for any overnight tournament. Players are required to stay in team rooms when staying in a hotel. Other parents do often attend but are not required to attend. |
| 8. How many players to you take on a team? |
| Ideally we like to have 10-12 players on a team. |
