This is a meeting where parents can ask questions and share ideas.&lt;br /&gt;
It is all about improving the players experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will also announce some changes that we have thought up.&amp;nbsp; You can give us your feed-back to some of the changes we are thinking of doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you,&lt;br /&gt;
Diane Short&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Feed back and changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana; color: #000000;"&gt;1.The
regional teams that are practicing 2 times/week will play in house.&amp;nbsp;
This will have all teams touching the ball 3 times/week.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
2.Diane will spend more time with first and second year club coaches especially in
the first two months.&amp;nbsp; 3.Different skill sessions offered for all club players (example:&amp;nbsp; middle blocking position, defense, serving etc.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;4. Do a better job communicating to players the difference between open teams and regional teams.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
5. Feedback for the conditioning was very good.&amp;nbsp; We will keep this.&lt;br /&gt;
6. Need to get more parents involved in the booster club.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
7. Looking for corporate sponsorship.&amp;nbsp; This would lower tuition costs.&lt;br /&gt;
8. No Parents (of players) will be head coaches.&amp;nbsp; They may still be assistant coaches.&lt;br /&gt;
9.&amp;nbsp; Start a grass roots program&amp;nbsp; 10 U, 12 U.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
10. Give players an opportunity to play 12 months a year if they desire.&amp;nbsp; (summer leagues, tournament, clinics and camps)&lt;br /&gt;
11. More coaches training and monthly coaches meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
12.&amp;nbsp; Parents may request for players to play on regional teams instead of open teams.&amp;nbsp; All communication should be made to Diane Short at try-outs.&amp;nbsp; I will usually talk to bubble kids and give them a choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for the parents who came to the meeting.&amp;nbsp; Not a great turn out.&amp;nbsp; However, I thought we accomplished quite a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;
