Practice: 2 practice per week (December to April)
Regional Tournaments: single-day events within a 2.5 hour drive radius
Multi-Day Regional Tournaments: multi-day events within a 2.5 hour drive radius that usually require lodging
Parents of Travel Team Players will be expected to provide transportation to and from at least one tournament.
Program Fee: Includes coaching instruction, uniforms, USAV/AAU registration and all tournament fees.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Practices and Tournaments are mandatory and your attendance is expected. If a player will be missing a practice or tournament, that player must contact the head coach in writing before the scheduled event.
Academics are a priority, however, homework should not be an excuse for missing practices, tournaments or team events.
All homework should be completed BEFORE practice. Please manage your time so that you are able to attend all practices, tournaments and team events. This may include “working ahead” on weekends and bringing books to tournaments.
If you are having issues managing your time, please contact your coach and we will help you work out an academic plan. Do not let your grades slip during our season!
Players who repeatedly miss practice will be subject to reduced tournament playing time.
Travel Teams must complete all their tournament work assignments before tournament dismissal.
PROGRAM FEES
Full program fee payments are due at the first practice. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS. No players will be turned away because of inability to pay. However, every participant is expected to fund raise to help offset the costs incurred in our program. Cash, or checks payable to the “Philadelphia Starlings VBC” are acceptable forms of payment.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
All Philly Starlings Travel Team participants must fulfill their Broad Street Run community service requirement. 40,000 runners annually register for Broad Street Run, and we will assist with the Runners’ Expo and a water station on the event day.
If you do not fulfill this requirement, going forward you become ineligible for any of our future teams and/or programs. Make up community service opportunities are available upon request.
