NEW PLAYER CHECK LIST / CODE OF CONDUCT

7/29/2021

Hello families! MANY MANY important updates below!

NEW PLAYER CHECKLIST

This checklist will be your go to for everything coming up for the next couple of weeks. Please make sure to read it - print it, hang it on your fridge, etc. It goes over everything to expect between now and basically the end of August. Times may change after you print the document, so make sure you're connected to the calendar, and that your player is communicating those changes with you. The link to the checklist won't change, so you can continue to reference until your player makes a team, then we'll send out a revised one with specific links, etc.

REGISTER BY AUGUST 4TH IF YOUR PLAYER WANTS TO TRY OUT

Any player interested in trying out must register on the DRHS Athletics website by August 4th. After 24-48 hours you should receive a "cleared to play" email. Once you have received that email your player is cleared to try out on August 9th and 10th. Players who have not registered and received the "cleared to play" email before August 9th will not be permitted to try out. THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF PLAYERS THAT NEED TO REGISTER - MAKE SURE YOU'RE READY TO GO!

PLAYER HANDBOOK (CODE OF CONDUCT) - ALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS MUST READ

Please read this Player / Parent Handbook. THIS HANDBOOK HAS BEEN RE-WRITTEN, SO ALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS NEED TO READ IT. This is the contract between you and DRHS Volleyball, and you'll be agreeing to it when you register your player after teams are selected.
- This hand book will discuss practice and game times, eligibility, mandatory events, code of conduct, etc.
- It also has the full schedule AND the checklist of what to do between now and

MONDAY AUGUST 2ND - MEETING CANCELLED

We decided that you didn't need to come to yet another meeting. So we put all of the information we were going to discuss in the Player / Parent Handbook (link above). We need every parent and player to read the document, because, as mentioned above, this is the contract between you and the volleyball program.
After you've read the handbook, if you have any questions, please reply to this email.
