A message from Ann (ITVC’s uniform administrator):
Long-Sleeve Warm Up:
It has come to our attention that the sizing is off on these shirts. It turns out it is because they issued us men’s shirts instead of the women’s shirt we ordered. Please this long-sleeve warm up in to your team parent this weekend (or next week’s practice if you do not have power league).
Royal Blue T-Shirt
If your daughter would like to exchange her size please contact your team parent by Friday night at 6pm with the new size, then turn the incorrect t-shirt in with the wrong long sleeve warm up. This is the only opportunity you are going to have to be able to exchange the t-shirt.
We are so sorry for the trouble.
Ann
The NCAA DI national championship tournament begins this week as the field of 64 teams compete to take the first step towards the coveted 2011 national title. ITVC would like to wish all teams the very best of luck, in particular the Florida Gators, the Yale Bulldogs, and local fan favorites, the Washington Huskies.
The Florida Gators feature 2008 ITVC alum Tangerine Wiggs as they get ready to face the Missouri Tigers on Friday in the first round of the Gainseville, FL regional portion of the bracket. The Yale Bulldogs, featuring 2010 alum Gabby Bird-Vogel, will take on the current Pac-12 champions and 7th seeded, USC Trojans, at USC also on Friday as part of the Honolulu, HI regional.
Local Pac-12 program and national power, University of Washington, opens up play versus Western Michigan at the University of Minnesota on Friday at 4:30pm central time. The Huskies are competing in the Minneapolis, MN regional and seek a return trip to San Antonio, TX for the final four, the site where the Huskies won the NCAA DI national championship in 2005.
ITVC would like to thank all of the athletes that attended and participated in our tryout sessions for the upcoming 2012 club season! Congratulations to all athletes that were offered opportunities to join an ITVC team!
Teams rosters and schedules will posted soon.
Important Reminder: As posted on our tryout information page, a parent or legal guardian of all tryout attendees is required to fill out and sign the USA Volleyball/Puget Sound Region “Tryout Attendance Form”. As we have had the form linked to our tryout page, it can also be found on the PSR website or can be viewed and printed by copying and pasting this URL into your web browser:
http://www.pugetsoundvb.org/images/2012_Forms/2012%20tryout%20attendance%20form.pdf
For any registered tryout participant arriving at tryouts without a parent or legal guardian present, they will need to bring this form completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian and submit it upon registration/check-in.
We have modified our U15 and U16 tryout schedule for this Saturday due to a couple of factors:
1) Quantity of athletes registered to tryout;
2) Limited court space;
3) Quantity of inquiries we received from U16 athletes regarding a conflict with other tryouts resulting in their late arrival.
The updated schedule was emailed to all registered U15 and U16 email addresses and is also posted on our “Tryouts” page. ITVC administration felt this modification to the schedule was necessary in order to provide a better quality tryout experience and for coaches to have a better opportunity to evaluate participants.
*All ITVC incumbents (returning athletes from the 2011 club season) will automatically be asked to participate for the full duration of the tryout session for their respective age group.
ITVC will be holding a make-up tryout for our 13Black and 14Blue teams this Saturday (11/19) from 1-2pm at Eastside Catholic. For those that missed ITVC’s U13 and U14 tryouts and would like an opportunity to be considered for an ITVC team, please contact the following email with you intention to attend: kate@goitvc.com.
ITVC currently has one or two positions open on the roster for each team.
For anyone wondering how USA Volleyball and the Puget Sound Region determine which age group an athlete may play in, please refer to the following link on the USA Volleyball web page that provides age definitions:

ITVC administration is very aware that many clubs are holding tryouts with schedules that may conflict with one another. If you are an athlete wanting to attend an ITVC tryout that may conflict with another club’s tryout for your age group at the same time, please let us know by emailing mike@goitvc.com. We encourage all athletes to attend even if they will be arriving late within the scheduled time frame for their particular age group.
Reminder: The U15 and U16 tryout schedule will include a preliminary cut after the first hour of tryouts, with the remaining athletes to continue through the tryout process following this cut and a brief intermission.
If you registered for tryouts but did not receive a confirmation from Google Checkout regarding your payment please know that your daughter is registered for ITVC tryouts and will have the opportunity to participate in tryouts. We have been experiencing periodic issues with this online payment vehicle. If you did not receive a payment confirmation this indicates that your payment did not register or clear with the Google Checkout system and payment is still required. Please bring the tryout registration fee of $30.00 (cash or check) to the tryout check-in. Tryout dates are as follows: 11/6 = U12, U13, U14; 11/19 = U15, U16, U17, U18.
Thank you all for your interest in ITVC! We look forward to seeing your daughter at tryouts. I have been receiving a lot of emails with good questions and there are two that keep repeating. The first concerns costs. We will be handing out the finalized costs for Fees and Travel by team at tryouts only. The second question has been whether your daughter can come late or leave early from tryouts. The answer is YES! We understand that there are other tryouts happening around the region. We ask that your daughter notify the coach during tryout to explain her circumstance. If you have any other specific questions about tryouts or team formation, please email me directly, kate@goitvc.com. Thanks and GOOD LUCK! Kate
