Adult and USAV certified youths are wanted to officiate In-House Volleyball league and tournament matches this fall.

Interested persons can contact the Director for information and link to Dibs session where the assignment of games will be handled.

Youths who have passed referee certification through USAV who have experience as a first official, AKA "up official", may inquire and be assigned referee sessions provided the official is at least two years older than players being officiated.

Preference will be given to current year players and families within the program, to include travel and in-house volleyball families.

Stipends may be used to offset future dues or reimburse for 2010 Fall In-House dues.

Here are some highlights from the annual meeting...

Officer and Board Member Elections:

Jill Bachmann - Assistant Director

Jim Dudley - Secretary

No Nomination - Open position - Tournament Director

Eric Cameron - In-House Director

Mary Pat Griffith - Facilities Director

Laura Smikla - Equipment Coordinator

Board approved use of a portion of fundraising monies to scholarship fund to offset registration fees for Director and Coordinator level participation. Discussion revolved around unfilled need for board member participation. If anyone is in need of scholarship they should volunteer for board position this year.

ERAA has given guidance that summer programming should be left to ERHS and CE, so we will focus on assisting the new HS coach, Lindsay Ashburn, with her camp in July.

It is expected that we will open registration for fall recreational volleyball in late June, 2010. The program will involve grades 3rd-6th. We will not run a program for 7th-8th grade this year and recommend that those players participate in the Community Ed school based program.

We have vendor space at Woodbury Days and Cottage Grove's Strawberry Fest. At this time we are in need of player and parent volunteers to run our "Plinko" game and hand out prizes and candy. CG Strawberry Fest is June 19 and Woodbury Days is the last weekend in August. We will need volunteers for all three days of Woodbury Days. Please contact the Director if you can help.

With the first year of JO volleyball having concluded in April, we look forward with excitement and anticipation of a fall recreational program.

Full details should be on the "In House Program" tab in June, 2010.
