THE HOMMIES VOLLEYBALL TEAM RULES AND

EXPECTATIONS
INTRODUCTION
If volleyball was easy, it would be called football, THE hommies will foster the growth and
development of the game by providing quality training, supportive volleyball experiences in a
safe, equitable and friendly environment. We are committed to the improvement of volleyball
players in the area, it’s a goal for all participants to enjoy the sport of volleyball and develop as
players who are fundamentally and technically sound. And to be able to play against the best
competition both locally, regionally and nationally. Its therefore paramount to observe game and
team rules as may be agreed upon and set to create a measure of working and engagement
relationship.

Rules:

1. BE ON TIME! (To practice, games, and events.)

2. Accept your role

3. Give 100% every practice/competition

Attendance

1. Players are required to attend EVERY practice/game unless they are

excused. If you have to miss a practice/game, you must communicate with

the coach to have it approved first.

2. During home games, players will stay and watch all teams compete and

During away games, it is recommended to stay for all games, but exceptions can be

communicated with the coaching staff BEFORE the competition. Players will

sit together during all games- not with friends. We are ONE team and will

support each other.

3. Any unexcused absence will result in a consequence of sitting at least one

game. Consequences can always vary due to coach’s discretion.

BE EARLY! Every player should be dressed and ready before the start of practice/games.

4. Players are expected to wear appropriate clothes to practice/games. This

includes sports shoes and wear, any other attire is not allowed on court.

5. The net should be set up before the start of a practice/game. This is to be

done by everyone.

6. Respect all equipment. After every practice/game, players must clean up

equipment and put away in its proper place.

7. Players will dress the same on game days decided by the head coach. If

players are to dress nice for a game, it must be appropriate and there for indecency

is not allowed on court. Short skirts, open blowses bikers and any other attires that shows parts
meant to be covered

Attitude/Effort

1. The two things every person has control over is their attitude and effort.

There is NO excuse for a bad attitude or lack of effort during practice,

games, or team events.

2. Playing time is EARNED, not given. Ultimately the coaching staff will choose

the players we believe will give the team the best chance to be competitive.

Regardless of your position, accept your role! Failure might lead to undesired consequences

3. Remember that a positive attitude is just as contagious as a negative

attitude. Be positive, enthusiastic, and dedicated when at practice and

games, or with the team.

4. Demonstrate sportsmanship at every competition with officials, fans,

teams, and coaches, its therefore of no harm if you are asked to be substituted coz it helps the
team to build confidence and put the moral back so one needs to act accordingly

5. Be accountable, not just of yourself, but of your teammates, too. Our

actions reflect on the entire team and represent all the Hommies.

In a nutshell therefore, anyone who contravenes the above stated rules will face disciplinary
charges On normal ground and if proven guilty, will be handled in line with the law. The
punishments ‘can be sounding a strong warning, paying of fines, suspension and if indiscipline
continues, the power rests in the enforcement team for final decision
