1 2018 SEASON INFORMATION

2 #thenasadifference Founded in 1990, the purpose of the North Alabama Spiker s Association (NASA) Volleyball Club is to promote volleyball in the North Alabama area, to prepare our players for the next level of competition, and eventually to attract college recruiters. NASA will strive to develop, through intense training, the skills both physical and mental, to compete in volleyball at the collegiate level. The Club will provide a positive, well-balanced competitive environment in which young women develop skills to be successful in volleyball as well as life endeavors. Additionally, through wholesome, competitive volleyball experiences, the club will develop young women emotionally, physically and spiritually to meet the challenges of life. It is of the utmost importance to provide personalized training to each athlete so they have the opportunities for more playing time among their respective school teams. NASA will do everything possible to obtain the maximum exposure to collegiate-level coaches to help our student athletes continue their volleyball careers as well as their education.

23 Drama is optional- Tryouts CAN be awesome! AHSAA 3 player rule: No more than 3 players from a MS/HS team can play together in the off season or they will be ineligible for the following school season Where do you want to plant your family? 1 team vs 2 team prejudice : choose to PLAY 1 tryout = no drama Social media craziness- just say NO! Decide on your priorities: Club? Coach? Players? Use this as a learning opportunity: recruiting vs loyalty Make your decision ahead of time to avoid emotion Be honest and stick with your decision. Commitment Remember how you are affecting others

24 Team Invitations/Commitment Policy As a JVA club, our coaches are allowed to give team invitations and accept commitments as early as the end of tryouts to hours after tryouts. Invitations may be limited to a certain amount of time, and the coach will notify you of that time frame. Players and their families should discuss their options prior to tryouts. Players at schools with multiple athletes trying out may be asked to give a commitment immediately in order to form the most competitive teams possible and remain in compliance with the AHSAA 3 player rule. Families may choose to give their commitment at tryouts or may ask for more time. If coaches do ask for a commitment at tryouts, but your family needs more time to consider all options, the team invitation may be rescinded and offered to another player.
