Dear Coach,

 

We have 41 teams (23 varsity, 12 junior varsity, 6 frosh) registered for the Dakota State University Team Camp.  Teams will need to check in at least 30 minutes BEFORE their first match. Tuesday matches will begin at 9:00 AM. All teams will check in at the DAKOTA STATE FIELDHOUSE and proceed from there to their playing facility.  We will use a pool play format for Tuesday's competition and Wednesday's pools will be based on Tuesday's results; Wednesday an official's jamboree is being conducted so we will have high school volleyball officials for part of the day on Wednesday. Tuesday's matches will be officiated by DSU volleyball players and/or DSU coaches.

 

We will use nine courts for this tournament; three courts in the Dakota State Fieldhouse, two courts in the community center, two courts in Madison Middle School and two courts at Madison High School.  For those of you who have not been to Dakota State our community center is attached to our fieldhouse. The middle school/high school is within walking distance of the fieldhouse.

 

Tuesday’s pools were randomly selected.  Your teams place finish on Tuesday will determine their division of play for Wednesday’s matches.  Tuesday's matches will be best two out of three games to 25 points (cap at 27); if a third game is needed it will be to 15 points (cap at 17).  Seven minutes (3-3-1) after a match has been completed, the next match will begin. Teams will be allowed to use the libero, but she must wear different colored tshirt or jersey. When teams are not playing, they may be line judging so please keep your players informed of when they will be line judging.

 

Three points will be awarded per match. If a team wins both games, they will get all three points. If team's split, each team would be awarded a point and then the team that won the match would get the third point.

 

We will have a concession stand open for purchasing SWIRLS, water, powerade, pop and various types of food.  All proceeds from the concession stand go directly back to the Trojan Volleyball Program so please encourage your teams to enjoy our services.

 

Tuesday POOLS:  MATCHES WILL BEGIN AT 9:00 AM and we will use a rolling time schedule.
