Diamond Volleyball Handbook Player Agreements: 2024/2025
My goal is to become the best volleyball player and person I can be. I understand that my participation in this club requires that I conduct myself with these points and are at the forefront of my actions and behaviors. I understand that failure to meet these expectations will cause my playing time to be reduced.
1. ATTENDANCE – I will attend all practice sessions, matches and tournaments. If I am unable to attend, I shall notify the coach or assistant coach 3 days prior to the session. I will provide a calendar of known dates that conflict with my commitment to practices and tournaments in advance to the coach. I will never leave a practice or tournament without first receiving permission from my coach first
2. PARTICIPATION – I will exhibit a teamwork attitude, attend all practice sessions, matches and tournaments. I understand the coaches make the final decision on all play time and will support their decision.

3. SPORTSMANSHIP – I will be courteous and respectful, to the facilities I am practicing or playing in at all times, to all coaches, my teammates, my competitors, the referees, and others. I will exhibit exemplary sportsmanship whether the team is winning or losing, playing well or not playing well. I will be a positive role model to my fellow players, coaches and the player’s parents.
4. HELPFULNESS - I will arrive early to all practice sessions and tournaments. I will be prepared to assist in net setup and tear-down, team cleanup, share all referee, line judge and work responsibilities.

8. COMMITMENT – I will budget my time to meet the responsibilities of being a Diamond Athlete and maintaining my academic goals
9. COMMUNICATION – I will communicate both on and off the court with my teammates and coaches for mutual understanding. If I am concerned about playing time and skill development, I will communicate directly with my coach and request help.

Team Philosophy: DESPITE which team I am on, i understand it requires the greatest level of financial, travel, time, and attitude commitment towards playing for DVA. As such, for both in-region and out-of region competitive tournament events, all playing time for the team players is based on what the Head and Assistant Coaches’ choose . This includes all decisions on rotation, substitutions, starting player assignments, etc. This means that there may be uneven playing time for the players and the decisions are based on the coaches’ discretion and his/her goals for the team. The Coach, Player, and Parent Agreements are to be applied to assure that any issues are proactively dealt with. Even though some of these teams require a lesser level of financial, travel, and time commitment, the attitude commitment and seriousness of each players’ commitment towards playing is mandatory to be equally as high every other team. This will allow players more opportunities to learn and succeed, while still teaching and coaching to win. Decisions on the rotation, substitutions, starting player assignments, etc., may be made to develop a player versus always playing and starting the “best” players on the team.
Note: Coaches, this does not mean that you must have all players to play on a precise exact and the same amount of court time. Be aware there is a balance between teaching the team to “want to win” and your decision to show up and to play just to play. The intent of this philosophy is to work hard to win, but not at the expense of losing out on providing an opportunity for you to teach and for those players to develop and learn. The Coach, Player, Parent Agreements are to be applied to assure no issues or that any issues are proactively dealt with. Playing time for players, will be close but not necessarily balanced for all. Some players will get more playing time and some players will get less.
Any and all issues that arise regarding playing time MUST be dealt with in this order:
48 hours AFTER event: player - coach
* still not resolved
72 hours AFTER player/coach conversation: parent - coach to schedule a meeting
* Meeting will be set between player, parent, coach, and director 120 hours AFTER event.
