Happy New Year LSVA members and friends!
I hope each of you had a great New Year celebration.
We are ready to start of the Spring Season of LSVA, so please mark you calendar and join us for our Spring Kickoff at:
Sunday January 10, 2010 5-9 at Meteor Bar 2306 Gensee Street
We will have live entertainment, including performances from Ireeka Phish and Summer Clearance and others. Meteor will be having drink specials and donating appetizers. We will also hold a raffle for items such as a free and discount memberships for the Spring season and tickets to the upcoming Miss LSVA and other prizes.
The Spring Season is scheduled to start at then end of January and the Downtown YMCA, please check our website for the exact date as we finalize the contract.
We will again have 3 divisions, Recreational, Competitive and Power. Due to the success of the Skills clinic, we have decided to include this as part of the Recreational division, which will run from 11:00 to 1:00 where 11:00 to 11:30 will be skill training. Competitive and Power divisions will run the same as a draft format, from 1:00 to 3:00 and 3:00 to 5:00 respectively. Ratings will apply for Competitive and Power divisions. Ratings will be done during the open play sessions. You must have a Competitive or Power rating to play in Competitive and a Power rating to play in Power.
We are excited this Spring to have two Miss LSVA events. On February 6 we will have Miss LSVA 2010, to elect the 2010 crown holder and then on March 6 we will have Miss LSVA of the decade, where the title holder from each year of the millennium will compete. Both events will be held at South Beach from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Please invite all your friends to attend as these are fundraisers and of course will be the events of the season. Anyone wanting to compete in 2010 Miss LSVA or any former title holder for Miss LSVA of the decade contact me at president@lsva.org.
And please lend all your support to us as we host the Lone Star Volleyball Classic XX1. This held Easter weekend April 2nd and 3rd. Please consider forming a team a participating in this fun tournament or help out with the setting up and running the tournament during the weekend. But plan on coming out and support your Houston teams competing. Contact me at president@lsva.org or look at our website www.lsva.org for more information.
I hope to see you out this Sunday at Meteor and if not there then on the courts this Spring!
Thanks,
Steve Ruimveld
