Welcome for another season of Central Toronto Volleyball to our new teams and welcome back to our returning teams!
We’ve got some changes for this season, starting with the brand new Web site you’re viewing right now. It’s mostly complete, but as the season progresses, we’ll be filling it out with more photos from our games to replace the stock photography that’s in use now. Also new this season are scoreboards being included for each court so keeping score is easier and they are always visible for the teams playing. When a game is finished, the final score can be recorded on the old score sheets and results tallied for reporting at the end of play that night.
We’ll be sending out the links for teams to register their rosters and for waivers for each player to complete shortly.
Opening week is a bit different from the usual as we are short one court (Leaside HS) to start the season, so we’ll be playing four teams per court on October 3rd. The playing rotation and rules for this 4-team rotation will be posted in a separate news item. Captains will need to report the ranking on their court (1st through 4th) for each court so that teams can be distributed properly to each gym for Oct 10th when we’ll return to a three-team-per-court system. We acknowledge that the experience is lesser, but have always maintained that it’s better for every team to play than it is to have three teams be forced to miss a week.
Captains, if you have not yet sent your team fees via e-transfer, please do so as soon as possible.
Once again, we will be heading to The Leaside Pub after play is complete. We should have a couple of tables reserved for us after 9:30pm and the staff should be expecting us. For the newcomers, the pub is at 190 Laird Dr, close to the gyms. There is limited parking behind the building, but plenty in the parking lot at the shopping complex across the road.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday evening!
Cheers,
Andy & Johdi
