Texas Image Sand Volleyball

 


Texas Image Volleyball Club is proud to introduce our new summer Sand Volleyball program.

This program is a great way for players to further develop their volleyball skills. Each practice will include: ball control, game strategy, team play, a strong emphasis on fundamental skills, and strength and conditioning.
Texas Image also affords those players seeking college volleyball scholarships a new venue in which to be seen and recruited. Now, more than ever college coaches are using sand volleyball as an avenue of recruitment for college scholarships.

FAQ:

1) How do the players get a partner to play with? 

Answer: They can pick a partner on their own or, if they don't have one, they will be able to choose or be paired up with others that do not have a partner yet.


 

2) When do the players need to know who there partner is?

Answer: They will need to know the week prior to the tournament that they will be playing in. The players will need to tell their coaches so the coaches can keep a record. We do this so that we can ensure everyone will have a partner. The player can pick any other player from the Texas Image Sand Program, same age or not. If one player is older than the other the pair will have to play up to the older player's age group.  

 

3) What if one player gets hurt or gets sick and they are scheduled for a tournament? Does the pair have to quit the tournament?

Answer: No, the healthy player can still play as long as we can find a partner for them. However if that is not possible then the healthy player may have to forfeit the rest of the tournament unless something else can be worked out.

 

4) How are tryouts going to be this year?

Answer: Tryouts are being held to match players of similar skill to other players that do not already have partners. Everyone will make a team. Each player that does not already have a partner will be placed with other players their own age and skill level as clodely as possible. There wil be six players to each coach and twelve players/two coaches to a court at a time.

 

5) Where will tryouts be held?

Answer: Tryouts will be help at the Winning Edge facility due to weather concerns.

 

6) Where will practices be held?

Answer: Practices will be held at the First Baptist Church of Arlington located at 300 S. Center, Arlington, TX 76010.
