Hi Everyone,
well, it's already time to start talking volleyball for 2014. As many of you know, the SDSS volleyball team travels to Hawaii every 2nd year to take part in some exhibition games, some bonding and some sun. This years trip is still in the works, but here are some preliminary details:
When: Aug.31 to Sept.8 (Sunday to Monday morning). Students will miss 3 full days of school. We leave on the Sunday of the Labor Day weekend.
Where: Bellingham to Honolulu, we'll be staying in a mid-range hotel in Waikiki with kitchens. Many meals will be prepared by the girls.
What: Games will be set up over the summer (once the Hawaiian schools get their schedules), we usually play about 4 matches over the course of the week. Other activities could include snorkeling, surfing, swimming, hiking, the Polynesian Cultural Centre, Pearl Harbour, going to an NCAA volleyball game, etc.
Who: athletes who have participated in SDSS volleyball.
While it is difficult to put a final price tag on this opportunity at this point (as it partially depends on how many players are going), past years have been in the range of $1200 to $1600. The exchange rate is also a factor.
VERY IMPORTANT: Taking part in this trip does NOT guarantee a spot on the Senior girls volleyball team. The SDSS senior girls volleyball team will be selected at tryouts in the 2 or 3 days following the trip.
DEADLINE: A financial commitment of $500 must be made by March 7th. This covers the cost of the flights which must be guaranteed. This amount is non-refundable.
Questions? Talk to me.
Cheers,
Burgess
