Club Goals & Philosophy:

This year we anticipate having:

2      14s Girls Teams

2      16s Girls Teams

1      18s Girls Team

1      18s Boys Team

1      16s Boys Limited Team

​​

Investment: Club Cost is $1900. $700 is due at the mandatory parent meeting once tryouts have concluded. 

 

Practices: Prince of Peace church on Cornell on Tuesday and Thursdays with time slots of 4-5:30, 5:30-7, 7-8:30. Practice times depend on coaches ability to be at practice and when kids get out of school.

 

Playing Time: We aim for every player to play in every set/match. We believe that if you are going to pay you should play in every set/match.              *Exception if the match goes to a 3rd and deciding set the coach is able to just play the players who are playing the best. When we run out of subs then the coach will leave players in the game who are playing the best. 

 

All Questions about the program or teams or playing time ALL come to Coach Salness who is the director and founder of ABC Apollo (26 years). The coach's job is to coach the kids. Salness's job is that of setting guidelines/policies and how the program runs. 

 

Tournaments: The goal is for every team to play in 2 tournaments a month (power league and a friendship tourney). After tryouts we begin practices on Tuesdays & Thursdays each week with the exception of taking time off for Thanksgiving and Christmas break. Power league runs January through April, with regionals ending the season late April or early May. 

We plan for each team to play in at least 1 travel overnight 2-3 day tourney. We are willing to add more but only if the team and parents request that.  The goal is to keep costs down. Base cost for the season is $1900, any travel/hotel costs extra. When we do travel we suggest that the parents and players stay as a family (supervision and to help cut costs).

Attendance Policy: ABC Apollo has always supported multi-sport athletes. If the player has a direct conflict with school Basketball, Track, Cross County (etc), they will still play in every set and match. We just need to know what sport and what season at tryouts. We can’t have 6 softball players on one team. ​​​​
