Hi, this is Dawn Schaffer with the Wichita Falls, H.E.A.T Wildcats Volleyball Club. We are a Christian Homeschool group that plays co-ed volleyball. A few weeks back I sent out an email regarding information about our 2013 H.E.A.T Volleyball Classic. At that time I did not have an official date set due to the fact of being able to acquire Midwestern State University. I am pleased to say however, that we have a date set now. Please read the following:

We would like to invite you to warm up your Spring by playing in the 2nd Annual Wichita Falls H.E.A.T Volleyball Classic Tournament

Date: Friday & Saturday, April 12-13, 2012

Time: Friday 12:00pm to ? - Pool Play
Saturday 8:00am - Tournament Play

Location: Midwestern State University Legion Stadium
Wichita Falls, TX

Cost: $200.00 per team

Registration Deadline: January 15, 2012

Payment Deadline: January 31, 2012

Divisions: Gold, Silver, Bronze and Brass


We will be able to accept 3-4 teams in the Gold Division , 4-5 teams Silver Division, 6 teams in the Bronze Division and 6-8 teams in the Brass Division. Since there are limited spots available we will be accepting teams on a first come first serve basis. If one division does not fill up we can add more teams to another division.

Division qualification breakdown: Gold - Advanced players with a High level of competition. Silver - Players that are fairly advanced in volleyball skills but not as advanced as Gold players. Level of competition High/Intermediate. Bronze - Players that display decent volleyball skills but not as advanced as a Silver player. Level of competition Intermediate. Brass - Players that are new and or have 1-2 years of experience but their skill are not as developed as a Bronze player. Level of competition Beginner High/Low.

If you do not have a co-ed team but have an all girls team that you feel would be competitive in any of these divisions you could bring them as well but please be aware that they would be required to play on a boys height net in the Gold and Silver Divisions and a girls height net in the Bronze and Brass Divisions. They would also be playing against co-ed teams with 3-4 boys on them.

Last years tournament was a huge success and we are excited to host this tournament at Midwestern State University. It is a wonderful facility with 4 courts. All 17 teams who attended last years event had an amazing time. We will be having a concession stand which will enable people to stay at the facility instead of having to go off and look for food. For those of you who would be needing a place to stay the night Friday, we will be working out hotel accommodations with local hotels to get you a good rate.

Once you've made a decision to come please let me know ASAP. Registration deadline will be January 15th. Payment will be due no later than January 31, 2012. We can send out team entry forms and player registration forms as soon as we hear back from you.

Look forward to hearing from you! If you have any further questions please feel free to call or email.

Thanks,

Jersey Information

I will be ordering the volleyball jerseys next Monday. On Friday, there will be an adult small jersey at practice for your player to try on and decide if they want that size or smaller or larger. There is a youth small, medium and large available, as well as adult sizes of small, medium, large, etc. The color that they will be trying on is not the color that they will receive. The cost will be $20.00 per jersey, and that will need to be paid on Friday. (FYI...There will be an additional cost for imprinting to be paid at a later date.) Please, give the money to Tamy Elliott.

Thank you.

Practice Schedule Change for Friday (11/9)

Dear players and parents,

This year has been a real challenge trying to decide which players to put on each team. In fact, the teams are still not finalized, but we are moving closer to that. We have decided that this year we will have a gold team, 2 silver teams and one brass team. There are many players that fit on the silver level, but we are still trying to put together the 2 teams. We will be doing a tryout of sorts this Friday to help us determine who fits on which team.

This Friday, we are going to stagger practices. Please, find your name below and come at the designated time. If you cannot attend your practice time, please let me know immediately.

The following players will practice from 6 to 7:30 (This Friday only)

Jett
Caleb Deering
Ethan Eck
Ethan Toombs
Ethan Palmer
Braylen
Janelly

The following players will practice from 6:30 - 8:30. (This Friday only)
