Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. 

 

We are looking to launch Sunset Volleyball with an outdoor activity at Sunset High School. Just want us to get together and play and say "Hi" and get a bit of conditioning along with a few fun games. 

 

To participate, you must have the following in place in the athletic office:

1.  A Participation Form filled out and accepted by the athletic office. This is done ONLINE  this year. (two different pages to fill out)

2.  A valid Physical Participation form on file with the athletic office or upload a new  physical (two different pages to fill out, one filled out by a parent and one by a doctor)

3.  A BSD (Beaverton School District) waiver form.

The directions/steps are listed in the email from Olivia Carter.

 

Note:  You know we are regulated by CDC, The Governor, Washington County, and BSD. These are in place for the protection of athletes, coaches, and our families. 

That said—we need to be able to adjust to the potential of the practice schedule.

 

Practice Procedure:

1. Park your car in the Student Parking lot.

2. Check-in at 3:30 at the doors by the Cafeteria.

3. You must have a printed copy of the Waiver to hand in for the first practice.

4. You must wear a mask at all times.

5. Restrooms are by the gym.

6. When checked in—we will go to the Softball field outside. We can have 40 players in a group.  If we have more than 40 players we will split the group in half.

 

Recap:

We will be outside—wear warm clothes (we will cancel if the weather is bad)

Arrive at 3:30 for Check-in.

Practice is from 3:45 to 4:45.

All returning players & all incoming freshmen are invited (if they have registered).

Bring your own water.

YOU Must Wear a mask the entire time.

We will have a separate way to exit the facility. (other teams will be coming in)

 

Potential Dates—check-in is at 3:30 and Practice is 3:45 to 4:45 (we are looking for 1-4 practices—not all 4)

5. OSAA has changed its protocol; temperatures will not be taken when entering the school. PLEASE use SMART judgment and only come if you are feeling 100% healthy. If one person from your pod gets sick, the whole pod will have to be home. 

 

Thank you for your patience this year and I am sure the changes that will continue to come our way, we are all missing normal season so much and can't wait to be together soon. 

 

​

ANNOUNCEMENT # 1

 

We hope to start Volleyball pod pre-season workouts starting November 19th. Our gym timeslot at Sunset is from 7-8 PM at Sunset High Tuesday and Thursday evenings. players will need to arrive promptly at 6:45 to check-in. These will run through December 17th. Time is subject to change.

 

There is no cost.

 

There is no requirement. During these unprecedented times, you need to decide as a family if coming is right for your player, there is no type of expectation one way or another.

 

The scheduled regular season in Oregon for Volleyball will be March and April— this is a 2 month season. We will have tryouts and make teams in March and not before. It will not matter if you were on Varsity or JV or JV 2 or new to the program. All players will get an equal opportunity to make the teams at Sunset in March.

 

This workout time will be open to returning Varsity, JV & JV2 players. New players and freshmen will be worked in hopefully at a later date. We have strict regulations on the number of players on a court. 

 

We will be following CDC, The Governor, Washington Co, and BSD Protocols. 

 

HOW IT WILL WORK

1. Every Player and Coach will wear a Mask and follow social distancing when possible. We will be allowed to play inside the gym 

2. The player will be assigned to a "pod" that will stay the same for the entire 5 weeks on the same court. We will have 3 pods in total.

3. You will have to have your temperature taken and answer questions before you will be allowed in the school to then go to the gym for the practice. You are required to bring your own water and there are specific entrance & exit sites. Only the back parking lot will be open for drop off. More specific details next week.

 

BEFORE YOU COME

1. You must have completed the Online registrations (see attachments)

   1. Athletic Participation Form

   2. OSAA Physical Form

   3. COVID waiver

 

1. You must reply back to myself & Coach Carter oliviakcarter@gmail.com once you have decided if you are IN for the next few weeks of pre-season workouts. Once we hear back from everyone we will create pods.

2. Make sure your physical is up to date. They expire every other year, so if you got one as a freshman you will need to get one when you are a junior.

 

We are very excited to start back up ……. But also know that can change at any time.  

 

Please share with your friends, make sure volleyball players all know about the updates!

 

We have a webpage that we are just starting to create. It is under construction but our goal is to have the website be the place for families to go to check the schedule, updates, details, etc so that there are fewer emails coming to your inbox.
