Re:

To help in planning/decision making about this weekend, I thought I'd share that The Courts are on the far eastern edge of Springfield (we played there last year). You get there by getting off  I-44 before you reach Springfield, at Exit 84, I-744 (old route 66).

I did some checking on hotels/motels, and the best deal I found was the Eagles' Lodge, which is on Glenstone Blvd in Springfield, just south of I-744 (route 66). Their internet rate for 2 Q beds is $47. They do have a continental breakfast as well, and Andy's baseball team stayed there 2 weekends ago and he said it was fine. I just called to check on a group rate, and it is higher than the internet ($55), so it would be better to book individually through the internet if you are thinking motel overnight. I did not look farther east, like in Marshfield, which might be a possibility.

I am not sure of our plans, but look forward to talking to some of you tonight about how we might help each other out with arrangements for travel and/or housing. I am seriously considering driving home Friday night and leaving at 6 am Sat morning to return, but that only makes sense if some girls want to/can ride with me and share the gas cost - cheaper than motel, but more traveling...

A note from your coach

            It was a goal to be as prepared for this season as possible and not have any schedule changes, however we have had to have a few.  Thank you all for your flexibility and understanding.  Our goal is to get as many playing opportunities for our girls as possible, and with that - we have had to make a few last minute changes.

 

Upcoming Events

Upcoming events to keep an eye out for:   Craft Fair - Oct. 17th     I haven't received any commitment forms, so we are cancelling this event.   Pizza Inn Fundraising Night   Don't forget our Pizza Inn Fundraising night is set for Sunday, October 4th from 5:00pm - 8:00pm. The Williams family is still looking for help, please contact them if you are available...girls, this is how we are paying for our equipment, I am looking for most of our players to be at this event.   Tuesday   We will be hosting a home game next Tuesday, September 29th.  Jr. High will start a game against them at 6:30 with JV to follow at 7:30.  Varsity and JV will have practice from 3:30 - 5:00 that same night in preparation for our upcoming Springfield tournament   Knights Tournament   JV and Varsity will be traveling to Springfield October 2nd & 3rd for a tournament. I have tried contacting the Knights team daily to find out what our schedule will be however have not gotten a hold of them. As scheduled, please plan on being in Springfield Friday and Saturday until further notice.     Rides/sleeping arrangements - we were unable to locate a facility for our girls to stay. With the large number of girls traveling, it will be the responsibility of the parents to arrange rides/lodging for players this Friday and Saturday. If a parent is unable to take their own child to Springfield, please feel free to call other team-mates to work out arrangements for a ride and payment for gas.  RHAA has been taking care of ride arrangements and lodging this season and in past seasons, however with the difficulty of collecting monies and small amount of drivers available, we are unable to continue to provide this aspect for games and tournaments.    Food - If you are unable to travel to this tournament with your daughter, please send enough food or money for 2 meals on Friday and 3 meals on Saturday. Mom Lisa was extremely generous to share her cooler of food with the varsity girls last weekend.  Although she was prepared to feed the hungry, she is not expected to.  As Mr. Hazell had suggested, if girls ate out of Mrs. Applegate's cooler, money needs to go into Mrs. Applegate's cooler. We are extremely appreciative for all the help of our team-mom and want to make sure we don't put her in a bind with feeling like she needs to feed our team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

With being in the middle of volleyball season and tournaments, I understand how busy we all may be getting.  Please keep in mind the reason we participate in tournaments is to ensure the most amount of playing time for our girls with the least amount of travel time. We get anywhere from 6-8 games in one trip in a Springfield Tournament vs. 1 game each trip to other locations. Thank you for your flexibility in travel arrangements and schedule changes.  We communicate with you as soon as we have information from the other teams on what's going on.  It may seem that because we give out information later than sooner, we are not upholding our end of responsibility, however it is just really difficult to get information any earlier from the other teams. As I have been called to serve these girls with my whole heart, let us not lose sight of their desire to play because of the work that goes with it.  Instead, let's go the extra mile to finish well.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Coach

Upcoming Events

Upcoming events to keep an eye out for:   Craft Fair - Oct. 17th     I have not received any vendor contracts as of right now.  In order to properly solicit the event, we will need to have all vendors by Oct. 1 - which is right around the corner.  Please forward any contracts you may have ASAP.  If we don't fill 10 slots by Oct. 1, we will have to cancel the event and try for another type of fundraising opportunity.   Pizza Inn Fundraising Night   Don't forget our Pizza Inn Fundraising night is set for Sunday, October 4th from 5:00pm - 8:00pm.  Help for the night is greatly appreciated and even more so, soliciting the event.  Please see Mrs. Williams for more information about helping with this.   Schedule Change   We will be hosting a home game next Tuesday, September 29th.  Jr. High will start a game against them at 6:30 with JV to follow at 7:30.  Varsity and JV will have practice from 3:30 - 5:00 that same night in preparation for our upcoming Springfield tournament.   Knights Tournament   JV and Varsity will be traveling to Springfield October 2nd & 3rd for a tournament.  As of right now, we do not have arrangements for lodging. (The church is unavailable to us) I am working on getting another location, however we may have to look into the possibility of getting a hotel room.  We will keep you posted.   Concessions   The Collins and Williams families have done an amazing job taking care of our concessions.  A big thank you to them and to all of the parents who have helped volunteer at games!

Springfield Eagles Tournament

Great job last night Ladies....you sure do make my job easy!
 
Okay, for Friday and Saturday - we will be meeting at Kroger at 10:45am to leave by 11:00am.  Mr. Hazell is driving his 15 passenger van and will have room for our entire team, yeah Mr. Hazell!  We should arrive in Springfeild in between 12:30 and 1:00.  This will give us time to get set up at the church and then head over to the tournament. Below are directions to the tournament in case any additional family is driving, along with our brackett schedule for Friday's game.  The Springfield Eagles will also be hosting a Christian Fellowship BBQ that evening that our team will attend.  Please also see below for specifics.
 
Girls, please have your uniforms on and be ready for game play in the van prior to leaving Rolla.  This will eliminate an hour (at least =) of lolly-gaggin' around and allow us to get to our game place ready to warm up;not ready to get ready.  Please remember our rules about shorts and cell phones.  With the shorts, if there is ANY doubt, you might as well just change into a differnet/longer pair.
 
This weekend should be lots of fun - I and Coach Lisa will be staying with the team throughout the night and our cell phone numbers are as follows:
 
Coach Covey - 573-201-5375
Coach/mom Lisa -573- 202-3382
Mr. Hazell -573-578-4512
 
Central Bible College, Springfield – SWMO Eagles
As you head west on I-44, take Exit 77 (Hwy. 13 or Kansas Expwy.).  Turn right onto 13/Kansas and immediately turn right again onto Norton Road.  You'll pass the Zoo and the Fairgrounds on your left and come to a stoplight at Grant Ave.  Turn left and go half a block; take the first right into the CBC parking lot.  As soon as you turn in to the lot, make a sharp left and go north to the end of the lot.  Make a sharp right turn and head east through the lot for half a block or so. You should be able to see a building in front of you and down the hill, with a lot of glass on the front.  You'll probably see the trophy cases inside and people milling around the snack area. Follow a winding road to the left and then right into the lot by the gym. Use the entrance on the west side of the building that has stairs leading up to it.  The gate is right inside.  It's easier than it sounds!
 
 
BBQ Information
We are wanting to host a simple, barbecue sandwich dinner on Friday night for any interested teams and families - just as a time of fun, food, and fellowship! It would begin between 7:15 and 7:30, and conclude by 9:00 at the latest. We are asking that people contribute either $2 per person or $5 per family to help offset cost. The location will be Grant Avenue Baptist Church, 1033 N Grant Ave, Springfield, MO 65803 (approx 5 minutes from CBC).
