TOURNAMENT GOALS 2018
#1 - LEARNING TOURNAMENT
#2 - LEAGUE PLAY
#3- CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
TOURNAMENT # 1 – SUNDAY - January 21, 2018 - Lafayette, La
The first tournament is meant to be a “PREP” tournament. Since the SOUTHERN Youth Series is meant for the younger and newer players in volleyball, the 1st tournament is a chance to let them play in a “competitive” format with numbered jerseys, yet in a relaxed learning type environment. It is a chance for them to learn the skills needed for tournament play, such as, substitutions, keeping score, lining up, changing sides of the court, rotations, etc.
We like to tell the parents that the 1st tournament is a “practice/preparation” tournament, where we do not emphasize “winning” but learning. The main goal is to build self-confidence. We ask them to stay relaxed and just enjoy watching their children and their teams learn the nuances of the game.
Officiating is relaxed. The main focus is to learn the game during tournament competition type of play. We do not record scores for seeding purposes during the 1st tournament.
