2012 Volleyball Playoff Brackets Posted

The 2012 CYO Volleyball playoff brackets are currently posted on the CYO Athletics Website. Our championships will be at Lakeside High School this year, and we thank them for allowing us to use their facility, but we also want to thank all the other parishes and schools who graciously offered up their gym for this event.

Due to conflicts with school plays, Environmental Education, 1st Eucharist, etc. we had to get creative with some of the game times in a few of the tournaments. Mostly this occurred in the 6th grade girls tournament as there were 27 teams, but there are some other brackets as well that may look a little quirky after avoiding parish/school conflicts.

Obviously we have two weeks before playoffs begin, so Happy Easter and enjoy the break, but be ready to go come April 18th.

Volleyball Coaches Meeting 2/16 and 2/21

There will be two pre-season volleyball coaches meetings. One will be on Thursday, February 16th and one will be on Tuesday, February 21st. Both meetings will be in the Isaac Orr Conference Room at 910 Marion St. Seattle from 7:00-8:30pm. The meeting scheduled for Feb. 16th was originally scheduled on Feb. 15th but was recently rescheduled due to the availability of Isaac Orr. We could not find an adequate replacement location for the meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 15th when we determined Isaac Orr would not be available, and in order to have a space that would meet the needs of the volleyball community, we determined that moving the meeting to Thursday, February 16th was the best course of action.

There will also be a Play Like A Champion coaches training following both meetings from 8:30-11:00pm for any coaches who need the training prior to the start of volleyball season.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Volleyball Schedules Posted

Click Here to view this year's volleyball schedules. It is also best practice to re-check the schedule the night before your game, to confirm that there have been no changes. If CYO Athletics ever has to move a game, we will do our best to notify the coaches involved, but any game change will always be posted on the schedule, and that is the best most accurate way for all our parents to know when and where games are.

Coaches Meeting and Training Canceled Tonight

Greetings~

As you might expect, the current weather is wreaking havoc on our efforts to hold our 2nd volleyball coaches meeting tonight. Outlying areas are already receiving considerable snow that will make driving conditions less timely if not downright dangerous. Additionally, most recent predictions are that the Seattle area will be getting snow during the commute hour of 5-6pm with a let up until the approximate time frame we would be completing our meeting this evening. This combined with temperatures dropping to freezing can all make for hazardous driving conditions across the region.

In light of this, we have postponed tonight’s volleyball coaches meeting and Play Like A Champion Today training until next Wednesday, March 2 at 7pm at Isaac Orr Conference Center. We will still offer the Play Like A Champion Today coaches training to follow the meeting next week as well.

We realize that some of you may have needed to take the coaches training prior to coaching this weekend, but coaches will be granted an exception for this weekend due to the snow that canceled tonight's meeting and training. You may coach this weekend without the training, with the understanding that you will attend the training next week prior to continuing coaching this season, if you need to take the training. Coaches therefore could also attend the Play Like A Champion Today training on Tuesday March 1st following the baseball coaches meeting, and be in compliance with the policy.

Prior to this weekend's games, if you are not familiar with the scoring for volleyball, you can go to the WIAA website for information and also review this powerpoint. Please disregard the information on “libero” since we don’t have that position in volleyball in CYO Athletics.

Also, in order to be in compliance with the Washington state Lystedt Law, you need to view this video every year before coaching in a sport. We show this video at all our coaches meeting, but if you come to the meeting next week, you will need to watch it on your own before coaching this weekend.

We look forward to seeing those of you who did not attend the mandatory coaches meeting last Tuesday at next week's meeting.

CYO Volleyball Scores Needed ASAP

CYO Volleyball coaches in the 6th-8th grade divisions should e-mail their scores in to cyoscores@seattlearch.org as soon as possible. You can also call 206-654-4643 to report the score. We are putting the brackets together tonight, and all missing scores will go down as a loss to both teams.

Volleyball Schedules adjusted for 3/13

March 13th schedules have been changed for some teams, so every volleyball team should recheck their schedule on 3/13 to see if their game was moved or not. The 7th and 8th grade girls teams for St. Joseph Seattle have been given TBA's for this day, due to a parish funeral. Coaches who now have a TBA scheduled that day should contact the opposing coach to schedule the game at a new time, and communicate to Ross Brownell at the CYO Athletics office when that game will be played.

Volleyball Coaches Clinics - Beginner and Advanced

There are two FREE coaches clinics available for CYO volleyball coaches.

The first clinic, for Beginner coaches will be this Saturday, February 6th at St. Matthew in Seattle, from 9:00am to noon. This Clinic is led by Head Volleyball Commissioner Paula Lavallee, and is highly recommended for all first time CYO volleyball coaches.

The second clinic is the more Advanced clinic, and will take place Monday, February 8th at St. Catherine in Seattle, from 7:00 to 9:00pm. This clinic is led by the Seattle University Head Volleyball coach, Shannon Ellis, and is recommended for all CYO volleyball coaches.

Each year, coaches ask if they can go to both, and YES this is a great way to get some of the basics, as well as some of the more advanced coaching skills.

Second VB Coaches Meeting Rescheduled

The Volleyball Coaches meeting originally scheduled on February 17th (Ash Wednesday) has been rescheduled to Tuesday, February 16th in the same room, the Isaac Orr Conference Room at the Chancery (910 Marion St. Seattle, WA). The meeting will go from 7:00-8:00pm and will be followed by a Play Like A Champion Today coaches training from 8:00-11:00pm in Isaac Orr.

Please remember that each team is required to have a coach representative come to a coaches meeting (either the meeting at 7:00pm February 9th or this one on February 16th). The head coach will be suspended for a game for any team not represented at a meeting, and teams in 6th-8th grade will also receive a forfeit "Loss" for that game, even though the teams can still play, with another coach for that one game.

All returning CYO coaches (either having coached volleyball in the past or any other CYO sport) must have completed the Play Like A Champion Today coaches training prior to the start of volleyball, and trainings will follow both coaches meetings, on Feb. 9th and 16th. These, however, will be the last trainings offered prior to the start of volleyball.

Second VB Coaches Meeting Rescheduling

As many of you probably noticed, the second volleyball coaches meeting was scheduled for Ash Wednesday. We are in the process of moving this, as to not conflict with anyone's mass schedule that evening. We are still planning on having a second meeting available for coaches who are unable to attend the first one on February 9th, but will finalize that early next week.

There will be Play Like A Champion Today trainings offered after both coaches meetings, and this will be the last opportunity to take the training prior to the start of volleyball season.

It is not mandatory that you attend both volleyball coaches meetings, each team in the program must simply have a coach representative attend one of the two meetings. Both meetings should cover the same information, and will show the new Lystedt Law video at both. This video is required by state law for all youth sport coaches. Any team not represented at the coaches meeting will have to suspend their head coach for one game, and in addition recieve a one game forfeit if in 6th-8th grades.
