League and Skills Program
This program is well underway. Thank you to all who have joined for the 2008 season. The program meets on Sundays through the end of April (no session on Easter, or on dates of weather cancellations.)The hours are always 10-12:30, always on Sundays, always at Newton North H.S.
Coaches are chosen for coaching ability, knowledge, and most importantly, positive skills with young players
Coaches include college and high school varsity coaches, top area players, men and women, and club coaches
The LEAGUE and SKILLS Program alternates sessions of rigorous drills with competition.
Every other Sunday players are given a 2-½ hour workout. Skill acquisition, repetitive skill training, and physical conditioning are emphasized.
On alternate Sundays competition occurs in a League format. The amount of time spent competing in matches is high.
All players receive regular playing time (no "subs".) Within each position, as equal as possible.
Players can form their own teams (can be all from same school!) or can request to be on same team with certain friend(s).
The League + Skills program is a no-cut program.
There is a $40 tryout fee** for this program, and it includes the first 2 dates (** this fee is waived if you paid the tryout fee at the travel team tryouts in Nov/Dec '07)
In addition, this season, the fees for membership in the Newton North Indoor Complex are required. In addition to Sunday volleyball, this membership will allow use of the pool, weight rooms, gyms etc during the facility's open hours throughout the week. Specific schedule of hours and offerings are at: www.ci.newton.ma.us/Parks/NewtonNorth/Index.htm
Individual Membership in the Newton North Indoor Complex is $40 for residents of Newton, and $60 for non-residents (note: these were the rates in 2006-2007, and it is likely to be the same in 07-08, not definite yet.)
