Practices
Practices begin the first Sunday in January unless it is a holiday at which point it would
begin the following Sunday. They continue each Sunday until tournaments begin, usually in March. Once tournament season begins we change the practice schedule to accommodate each team. Each team has the opportunity to practice twice a week. The practice times and days are adjusted to the availability of coaches and players but usually run 2 weeknights for an hour and a half, up to 2 hours each. Our practices will be held at Lima Senior High School, and/or Lima West Middle School unless notified by your coach of another location.
Practice times, days and/or locations are scheduled by individual team and may change to
accommodate the team. All of our practice sessions are closed. Players must be picked up from practice within 15 minutes of the scheduled end time.
Tournaments
Tournaments are held at various locations throughout the Ohio Valley Region, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. C2K Volleyball Club schedules most of our tournament within a 60-90 mile radius of Lima. Occasionally it may be necessary to travel a little farther. We do not schedule any tournaments more than 2 hours away unless specifically requested, discussed and approved by the entire team, including coaches, parents, players and club director. It is each players responsibility to arrive at each tournament at the designated time, fully prepared to play. Each player is required to wear their team jersey and black spandex or athletic shorts. Tournaments generally are an all-day event. They begin as early as 7am and can run as late as 7pm. Tournaments consist of pool play and bracket/tournament play. Your team is placed in a pool of 4 teams. They will play up to 3 pool games to determine your position in the bracket. During pool play you will continue to play on the same court for all 3 games. Once your position is determined for the bracket you will be in the Gold, Silver or Bronze bracket. You may need to move to another court or you may stay on the court you played on for pool play. Once you start playing in your bracket, you play until you lose. Once you team has lost your team may be required to "work" meaning cover the Jr. officiating duties for the next game; line judge, scorekeeping, down ref/R2, and book. All players must participate and will take turns doing all 4 - Jr. officiating duties. All players must complete the Jr, officiating modules before tournaments begin. The modules are available on the OVR website and are required of all players in the OVR.
