Other volleyball program items or issues

DYA's continued use of school facilities for the volleyball program depends on your cooperation. Over the years reminders have had to be sent to parents and coaches in other programs. Here are a few that seem to recur each year.

No food or beverages are permitted in the gyms

Please remember that no food or beverages are permitted in the gyms. There have been problems with spilled pop and coffee making the floors unsafe for the players and gym teachers very upset.

Parents should keep their other children with them in the gym during games

Please keep sibling in the gym with their parents at all times. There have been several reported incidents of damage caused by unattended children.

Do not bounce, dribble, or pass volleyball in the commons

Please do not use volleyballs in the commons. Damage to ceiling tiles, artwork, etc has been all too frequent over the years.

Keep off physical education equipment

Keep players away from any physical education equipment in the gyms.. Each year there are abuses of equipment and reports of equipment and mats being moved. Please keep your players and other off the equipment and mats.

Carry your court shoes into the gym

Players, please remember to carry court shoes into the gym. Wearing court shoes from the parking lot tracks dirt and moisture onto the floor.

Keep the practices for the players only

Remind parents, as necessary, that the coaches are not running a babysitting service for their children. Players should be dropped off and picked up on time and other children are not permitted in the gym or commons while practices are being conducted.

Keep your arrival and departure times in line with scheduled practices

The use of school gymnasium facilities is not exclusive to DYA. Other organizations, including the City of Dublin=s Division of Recreation Services (a.k.a.Parks and Recreation), also have contracted for use of the gyms. The scheduled times for your practices may immediately follow a latchkey program or DRS adult basketball or volleyball program or immediately precede a DRS program. Please respect their scheduled times as well as those of other coaches in your league by entering and exiting the gyms at your designated times. Please treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Thanks for your cooperation
