Final season fees are due.
As a reminder, players who are not current (or have not made arrangements) for payments for the season will not be allowed to play in upcoming tournaments. To check your status or make arrangements, contact John L (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) as soon as possible.
A reminder, March fee payments are due for all players. Players who aren't current, or who haven't made arrangements with John L to become current, may not be allowed to compete at upcoming events.
February Club fees are due at practice either Friday or Sunday. Anyone who still owes part of their January fees needs to take care of that payment by Sunday. (U-11 players must have their fees paid to be eligible for their February tournament.)
Player grade reports are due Sunday. Every player needs to show their team coach a copy of their school grade report (report card, power school printout, etc.) that shows current grade point average.
Columbia's Picture Day is Sunday, Feb. 4th. Team coaches have been giving out picture packets, so see your coach if you don't have a packet yet. Teams will be taking pictures as soon as they arrive and are ready, so please reach the gym ahead of your scheduled practice time. We'll see everyone there!
Schedule: (teams are scheduled two at a time, first ready will take pictures first)
11:30am - 12-Black, 14-Black
12:00pm - 11-Black, 15-Black
12:30pm - 16-Black, 18-Black
1:00 (or as fast as we are ready) - Columbia Club Picture
Columbia 11-Black players, we expect to be able to hand out your jerseys that day. Fingers crossed!
Columbia 16-Black and Columbia 18-Black parents should book their hotel rooms now for the Las Vegas Classic. The club will be using the Excalibur Hotel and the rate should be $124 per night.
Please follow the link below to book your rooms. We highly recommend booking your rooms ASAP as we cannot guarantee when the hotel will close its block and if the rates will change. Please only put 1 guest, it’ll keep the rates lower.
Please put the CLUB name (Columbia Juniors) where it says ORGANIZATION under personal information.
After you book your room, emaiil both John (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and Chris (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to let them know you've claimed a room.
January payments are due for players who have not already paid them.
Players who miss our Ref/Score clinic on Sunday will need to do the following:
We strongly urge all players to attend the clinic (Sunday at 11am) to get the best possible instruction. Coaches need to be present by 10:30am.
All parents/guardians of Columbia players must sign the Code of Conduct for Parents/Spectators and have the signed form returned to the Coach of your player's team. This signed code of conduct is a requirement of participation for your player in the Evergreen Region. Please return these before we begin play in January.
For the first time in our 29-year history, Columbia plans to offer a Youth Volleyball program to young players. We have a limited number of spots available in this program, and interested parents should contact Lead Coach Jennille Schab quickly.
What's different about Youth Volleyball?
What do players receive?
For more information, contact Coach Jennille before entry to the program closes.
Columbia 14, 15, 16, and 18-Black will participate in inter-club and intra-club scrimmage on Sunday, Dec. 10th. All four teams are expected to play 2-3 scrimmage matches. Players for those teams should be at the gym by 11:30am. Parents are invited to watch, but should remember that these are training matches and won't always reflect the same player roles we expect for tournament play in January.
Columbia 12-Black's practice has been shifted to 2:30, but they are invited to come early and watch our older teams as well.
