Tournaments • All TNT teams will have 8 to 10 tournament days. • All tournaments are on weekends. Some will be one day tournaments, some will be two day. • Parents are responsible for all transportation of athletes to and from all tournaments, not coaches. • Parents can pitch in for meals during long days or each individual player can be responsible, up to teams. Academics • ALWAYS COME FIRST! • Communicate with your player the need for them to prioritize and plan their time wisely. • All required school functions take priority over club, AAU/YMCA/ETC… DO NOT! Fees • $675 per player; $225 payment due at mandatory parent meeting. Two-thirds of the total balance needs to be submitted prior to the team’s first tournament for your athlete to take the court.

TNT is dedicated to the improvement of your athlete’s abilities and we encourage parent participation in all aspects of this club. • Parents are asked NOT TO get too emotionally tied to winning or losing; the amount of playing time their child or another player on the team is getting; players having good or bad days on the court; and actions by the opponents or officials. • We ask that parents set a great example by following the club’s philosophy to the best of their ability during club activities. • Please encourage your child to be an advocate for themselves. If they have any questions about their skills or playing time, encourage them to speak to their coach first before you do. • 24 hour rule – If you have an issue with a coach; please wait 24 hours before contacting the coach. This will allow you time to “cool off” before something is said that can’t be taken back. Information throughout the year will be posted on TNT’s website: http://www.hse.k12.in.us/HHS/athletics/volleyball/club.aspx
