Aggieland Homeschool Tshirts and Sweatshirts

Hey Volleyball Families......

Aggieland Homeschool Basketball is currently ordering tshirts and sweatshirts.  They have the same name, colors, and mascot as volleyball.  If you are interested in sports apparel, send me your name and email address.  I will forward the graphics and price list.  I am sharing this info with the volleyball group because the graphics are just about Aggieland Panthers.  They are not basketball specific.

Hey everyone,

A t-shirt design has been chosen - gray shirt, purple & white writing!  Its gonna look great!  And we want them asap!  So, everyone please get your player & your family's order in to your team mom by Sunday nite - hopefully we can all do that.  Team moms, please call those you don't hear from and call or email your team's order to Martha by 9am Monday morning.  We will need to collect $ before we pick them up (your player's t-shirt cost is already in your fees), your team mom will give your that info later, but lets just get our orders in now.  Assuming we will get 48 orders, the price will be $12.  (If not, it will go up to $15, but i assume families will order since we are all new colors & mascot this year.)

So contact your team mom by Sunday nite with all family t-shirt orders, so she doesn't have to call you!

How many of you moms would be interested in getting together on Monday nites from 6-7 to do a book study together?  i am thinking of Choosing Gratitude by Nancy Leigh DeMoss, its a lifechanging bk and very encouraging!  i know i cant make every wk, but let me know the concensus, thanks!   We will also do another fellowship time or 2 as well.   Lee Postma

VAR B Cancellation

Harmony Science cancelled our VAR B game on 8-27.  Sorry girls:(
I will try to reschedule it.

Gate Fees and Procedures

We have our first sets of home games this week!!!

This is just a few reminders about the gate.....

1.  Parents and siblings of players DO NOT pay to get into home games.  EVERYONE else does.  These gate fees help in our ref costs.

2.  If you are the parent working the gate at home games, please be at the gate table 30 min before your game starts.  For example, if you have the first game at 5:30 pm, be ready to collect money by 5 pm.  If you have the second game at 6:30 pm, be ready to take over the table from the other team at 6 pm.  If you are the last game of the night, you can shut the gate table down 30 min before the game ends.

Thank you,
Aggieland Homeschool Volleyball Committee

August Player Fees

If you haven't done so, please pay your August fees this week.  $85 was due August 25th.  

Thank You,

Player fees

Varsity Teams -- Both teams have a tournament this week and Var. A has a tournament next week. If you could make a $25 payment this week or total of $85 for August at practice that would help cover cost.

All Teams -- If we could have a payment schedule of player fees throughout the season this would help with the cash flow of paying refs, gyms, etc. So, a highly suggested option is a $85 payment due August 25, September 25, balance on October 25.

If you have any questions please contact me.

High School Challenge for the Weekend

High school girls: I have a challenge for you over the weekend as you all mentally prepare for the season to start & especially for the tournament next week. Please take 2 hours of your time to watch the movie facing the giants. Pay attention to the goals the coach has for his team, & the things he challenges his players with & think about how those apply to you!

Praying for each & every one of you!

High School Team Captains

After much thought & prayer, Coach Klatt & I thought it best that the 2 captains for each high school team be selected through written vote by the girls themselves. We did this with hopes & prayers that they would truly think about what being a leader means not just in a team atmosphere but also in life itself. Below are the 2 captains selected by their teammates for each team.

Varsity B: Joy Allen & Beyanca French
Varsity A: Ann Platt & Lindy Duke

Coach Klatt and I are loving this season with you all so far! We have such a talented & amazing group of girls both on & off the court. You all are an inspiration to us & we pray for you all the time! We're proud of y'all & can't wait for games to start!

See y'all at practice next week!
