Parent & Athlete Expectation Meeting (Posted: Nov. 30)
Parent & Athlete Expectation Meeting (Posted: Nov. 30)
We will be hosting a mandatory Parent & Athlete Expectation Meeting on Monday, December 8 at 8:00 PM. This session will outline our club's values, communication standards, practice expectations, tournament guidelines, and the overall vision for the season. It’s important that at least one parent/guardian and the athlete attend, as this meeting sets the foundation for a successful, positive year together.
We’re excited to connect, answer questions, and make sure everyone starts the season on the same page. Thank you in advance for your time and commitment to ASTARZ Volleyball!

What: Each team will have their own project to support the drop-in centre (TBD).
Unfortunately the facility will be at capacity and will not be able to accommodate parent volunteers. However, you can still support by bringing donation items (ex. gift cards, razors, toothbrush, toothpaste, new socks, new underwear, mittens, etc.). They also have a small retail store on site. 100% of proceeds go directly to supporting their operations.
