Participants should, however, realize that these risks cannot be eliminated completely. We encourage Athletes to obtain a complete medical examination prior to the South Area participation. Your registration includes USAV supplemental insurance coverage. Support critical to Athletes' success includes being on time to practice, with all necessary uniforms, kneepads, shoes and socks. Parents can also help with car pooling to tournaments, and making sure your daughter carries proper snacks and provisions for meals to each tournament.
Proper nutrition is essential for any athlete who seeks to attain enduring success and health.
Your daughter will need to eat properly in order to maintain her endurance for a weekend of volleyball play. Foods high in potassium are needed on order to maintain strength by replacing minerals lost by high exertion and perspiration. We insist that South Area athletes carry healthful, nutritious foods and beverages with them to tournaments, not junk food. Additionally, please do not assume that someone else will feed your child should she fail to make arrangements for herself.
