Clinic Time Change

We have had to adjust our high school clinic meeting time. We will still meet at the Midnight Sun Gym, but at 11:00 to 2:00 on Sunday, August 17th.

Scheduled Clinic

The Adult clinic will be held at the Midnight Sun Volleyball Gym on Sunday, August 17th from 12- 4ish or a bit longer if Julie and Cathie yap like they did last year. Please bring your completed tests and happy moods.

On a good note - my request for a PAVO grant to cover expenses for Steve Thorpe has been accepted. PAVO is giving us the full amount - $2500. So please make every effort to be at his clinic.

2008 Certification Packets Ready

Like last year, I will have packets available for adult officials to pick up at the Dimond Athletic Club. Bring $55 (I prefer checks written out to ASAA) for the testing materials or $62 if you want a case book - which is such a lovely read.

The clinic with Steve Thorpe is still a go - only now UAA has scheduled a match on that same night. Willy and Freddie are scheduled to officiate the match and we might throw in Cathie as a R2, but I need to know how the gals will get paid for that and need to talk to Steve on details. Plan on a clinic at 5:30 in the same conference room then go to the match and then do a post-match clinic afterward. Basically, we are squeezing out all volleyball knowledge from Steve.

On a happy note, UAA is assisting AVOA on the hotel accomodations for Steve.

Clinician Scheduled

Steve Thorpe will be our clinician this year. We will hold a clinic on Thursday, August 28th from 5:30 to 8:30. I hope to have it in the same conference room at the Student Center.

PAVO Clinic

Once again Marc Blau and I are trying to arrange for a clinician to come up and hold a clinic. This year we are trying to get an individual to do a clinic but also work the UAA Invitational so that we can observe their calling and he can evaluate us and make the most out of a learning opportunity. Please keep the night of Thursday, August 28th open for a classroom clinic and also plan on attending all the matches, and especially the one he works at the tournament.

Please check back often and have a great summer.
