player's forms and fees. If a player who is already committed
to AZ Fear can not transfer to another club unless they are
officially released by the club director. There is no obligation
for AZ Fear to release a player. A player release form must
be signed by BOTH the director and the parent. It is then given
to USA Volleyball for approval. A player is responsible for
paying the season costs if they choose to leave.

playing time guaranteed?

volleyball is a competitive sport which directly determines
amount of playing time. Many considerations are involved in
the amount of playing time a player receives, for example, player
committment to the team, attendance, performance, and attitude.
Every player will receive equal attention from the coaches.
At tournaments, the coach will take these all into account when
determining line-ups.

is talked about at the parent meeting, as well as with the individual
coach of your child's team.
