Dear Coach:

 

The Southern Illinois Select Volleyball Club is open to girls (ages 14-18) who wish to compete in the Gateway Region of USA Volleyball (USAV).  This is an off-season opportunity for young female volleyball players at your school to work with high quality coaches to continue improving skills, to work with other athletes in the area, and, most important, to have fun and enjoy the game.

 

We will host a tryout on Saturday, November 19, 2005, (see tryout schedule on the enclosed flyer) at the Southern Illinois University Davies Gymnasium.  We invite all young female athletes interested in volleyball to attend this tryout. 

 

Some of you are familiar with the USAV.  Southern Illinois is a part of the Gateway Region of the USAV, one of 38 regions in the nation, established in 1994.  It encompasses the eastern part of Missouri and the southern part of Illinois.  Membership is growing every year; there are currently over 4,000 members.  These members include adult players, youth players, coaches, referees, scorekeepers, and parents.  Over 3,000 junior girls play on more than 300 teams.

 

Gateway has a strong program with opportunities for all skill levels through a variety of clubs and teams.  Players are selected for clubs/teams following tryouts.  Competition consists of local tournament play to larger national events.  Costs vary with the club/team, and are based on the amount of travel planned, the cost of uniforms, court/gym rental, etc.  We will do our best to offset costs through fundraising and sponsorships. 

 

We invite you to share this information as well as the enclosed flyer with your players.  If you, your players, or their parents have any questions, please feel free to contact Heather Hartung at 218.340.2067 or Juliane Hernandez at 618.521.5930.  We also encourage you to visit the Southern Illinois Select Volleyball Club website at http://members.fortunecity.com/sisvbclub/

 

We look forward to working with you and the athletes from your school.  Again, if you have any questions, please contact us.

 

Sincerely,
